As the new season of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! approaches, speculation about which famous faces will be heading into the Australian jungle is at an all-time high. With Ant and Dec set to return as hosts, fans are eagerly piecing together clues to figure out who will be facing the Bushtucker Trials this year.
While ITV remains tight-lipped, saying they "do not comment on speculation about I’m A Celebrity contestants," the rumor mill is churning. From soap stars and TV legends to sports heroes and social media influencers, this year's potential lineup is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet. Here's a look at all the rumored contestants for I'm a Celebrity 2025.
The Legends and TV Favorites
A mix of iconic television personalities could be bringing their star power to the jungle this year.
Ruby Wax
Comedy legend Ruby Wax is reportedly in "advanced talks" to join the cast. The 72-year-old, famous for her star-studded interviews on Ruby Wax Meets... and the 80s sitcom Girls on Top, would bring a wealth of experience and wit to the camp. A source told The Sun, "Ruby’s a proper TV legend and adds real gravitas to this year’s line-up... It will make great TV for viewers." Having recently spent ten days on a remote island for the Channel 5 show Ruby Wax: Cast Away, she's no stranger to roughing it.
Lisa Riley
Emmerdale star Lisa Riley is another big name said to be in advanced talks. Known for her role as Mandy Dingle, a TV insider mentioned she is "perfect for the show because she is from a soap watched by millions and is one of its biggest characters." Her vibrant personality could make her a camp favorite.
Kelly Brook
Model, DJ, and Loose Women panellist Kelly Brook has reportedly signed up for the series. Despite previously stating she wouldn't do the show, it seems she may have had a change of heart. With appearances on Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Race Across the World, she is well-versed in the reality TV circuit.
Denise van Outen
Denise van Outen is another seasoned TV presenter rumored to be joining the 2025 lineup. Her extensive career and bubbly personality would make her a fantastic addition to the jungle dynamics.
The Sporting Heroes
It wouldn't be I'm a Celebrity without a few sports stars. This year, the rumors include some major names from the worlds of boxing and football.
Wayne Rooney
Football icon Wayne Rooney might be following in his wife Coleen's reality TV footsteps. While he has admitted to a fear of ostriches, he also said he would consider doing the show at the right time. Could 2025 be that time?
Conor Benn
Boxing sensation Conor Benn is another name being floated. If he joins, he would follow his father, Nigel Benn, who appeared in the first season of the show back in 2002. However, a potential rematch against Chris Eubank Jr. could affect his availability.
Alex Scott
Former professional footballer and popular pundit Alex Scott is reportedly in talks for the new series. Sources suggest she is keen to show the public a different side of her personality away from the sports desk.
Tommy Fury
Boxer and reality TV star Tommy Fury was rumored for last year's show but had to turn it down for a match. He has expressed interest in participating, making him a strong contender for the 2025 cast.
The Rising Stars and Influencers
The show has a history of casting up-and-coming talent and social media stars, and this year is no exception.
Shona McGarty
Following her recent departure from EastEnders, Shona McGarty might be ready for a new challenge in the jungle. An appearance on the show would be a perfect next step for the popular soap actress.
Angry Ginge
Social media star Angry Ginge, who boasts over three million followers, could be following the path of previous internet personalities like Nella Rose. He reportedly impressed ITV bosses during his appearance at Soccer Aid, making him a likely candidate.
Vogue Williams
Model and TV personality Vogue Williams has reportedly signed up for the series. With her husband, Spencer Matthews, having a brief stint on the show in 2015, she knows what to expect. She is also no stranger to reality TV, having competed in Bear Grylls: Mission Survive.
Jools Oliver
Jools Oliver, wife of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, could be stepping into the limelight herself. After Jamie confessed he would pass on the show, the door might be open for Jools to take on the challenge.
Get Ready for the Jungle
While this lineup is still based on rumors, it points to a potentially blockbuster season of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!. With a mix of legendary names, sporting icons, and fresh faces, viewers are in for a treat. As the celebrities prepare to head to Australia in the coming weeks, we will soon find out which of these rumored contestants will be swapping their glamorous lives for hammocks and Bushtucker Trials.
