What to expect from the 2025 series
Ant and Dec return to host ITV’s hit reality show as 12 famous faces are set to enter the Australian jungle for the 2025 edition. The return of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! promises the same mix of bold challenges, high-stakes trials, and candid moments that have helped the series stay a staple of the UK TV calendar for years. Fans can look forward to drama, laughter, and the classic jungle atmosphere that makes the show uniquely entertaining.
Format and what makes this year different
While the core format remains intact — celebrities facing a series of discomforting and humorous trials to win meals and luxuries — producers are known to sharpen the balance between tough physical tasks and observational humor. Expect new twists and revamped trials designed to test teamwork, endurance, and nerves under pressure. The tropical setting in Australia provides a fresh backdrop for the celebrities’ evolving relationships as the days unfold.
The lineup: a mix of soap legends, music, and sport
Reports indicate a carefully curated cast designed to appeal to a broad audience. Among the 12 participants are:
- A celebrated soap opera veteran with decades of on-screen history and a devoted fanbase.
- An iconic chart-topping singer known for enduring hits and a longstanding career in the music industry.
- A former football star who made waves on the pitch and later in mainstream media.
Beyond these headline categories, the rest of the lineup is said to encompass a mix of actors, presenters, and public figures from various corners of entertainment and sport. While the full list remains under wraps until the official reveal, industry insiders suggest the ensemble will offer a balance of veterans and newer personalities, giving viewers multiple angles to engage with across the series.
How the cast could shape the series
The presence of a soap legend often brings long-running narrative threads into the jungle, with familiar off-screen rivalries and fan-favorite characters popping up in conversation and tasks. The music star in the group typically adds a dynamic performance charm, influencing entertaining moments as the celebrities adapt to the camp’s routines. The former footballer can inject competitive energy and a diverse set of physical skills into the challenges, potentially shifting alliances and strategies among the group.
As each day passes, viewers will watch not only for the trials but also for the evolving dynamics among the celebrities. Trust-building, alliances, and occasional frictions are traditional elements of the show that can drive emotional stakes and create memorable moments for social media and press alike.
What fans should watch for in 2025
Fans of the series should keep an eye on:
- The balance between veteran contestants and newcomers, which often influences the tone of daily camp life.
- How participants handle the trials, particularly if new formats or twists are introduced this year.
- Ant and Dec’s ongoing chemistry and the behind-the-scenes moments that keep the show feeling fresh.
With the official confirmation looming, anticipation is high. The 12 celebrity lineup is expected to land in the jungle soon, bringing a mix of nostalgia and new energy to the beloved reality series.
When and where to watch
As usual, ITV will air the show from a tropical location in Australia, with weekly episodes and regular updates on ITV Hub and social media channels. Viewers should stay tuned for the official premiere date and the full cast reveal, which will likely arrive shortly before the first episode.
