The new series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! is anticipated to debut within weeks, featuring a brand new lineup of famous faces tackling the demanding Bushtucker Trials.

The stars will journey to Australia to share living quarters in the wilderness camp.

This year’s contestants will be aiming to follow in the footsteps of musician Danny Jones, famous as part of McFly, who claimed the King of the Jungle crown last year. Although one of his bandmates has ruled out taking part in the show.

Initially they must endure the ordeal on the programme, which will once more be presented by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, reports the Mirror.

Whilst fans anticipate the comeback of the ITV programme, we examine the celebrities rumoured to feature in the upcoming series or who have suggested a jungle appearance.

The speculation surrounding the lineup before the official cast reveal encompasses soap stars, a football player and a TikTok personality.

 

Lisa Riley

Emmerdale stalwart Lisa Riley is reportedly being considered to exchange the Dales for the Australian wilderness, with sources indicating she is in detailed discussions to participate.

She is most recognised for portraying Mandy Dingle in the ITV drama, a character she originally assumed in 1995.

A television source told The Sun: “Lisa is the perfect celebrity for the show because not only is she from a soap watched by millions she’s one of its biggest characters and it’s an ITV show to boot.

“She also has a naughty, mischievous sense of humour which is guaranteed to get a big response from her other celebrity campmates during their time in the jungle. Lisa is by no means the first star from Emmerdale to have gone on I’m a Celebrity and those that do always tend to get a great response from viewers at home.”

Lisa even revealed her enthusiasm for participating in the reality programme earlier this year, stating: “I’m A Celebrity…is something I would do before I turned 50 as a test for myself.”

Express.co.uk has contacted ITV for comment.

 

Angry Ginge

Internet sensation Angry Ginge, who boasts over three million followers across his social media channels including Instagram and TikTok, is amongst several names being considered for the lineup.

He could potentially follow in the footsteps of former contestants Nella Rose and GK Barry.

The online personality, whose actual name is Morgan Burtwistle, is thought to have made a strong impression on ITV executives during this year’s charitable football event Soccer Aid.

An insider told The Sun: “ITV bosses always like to have a social media superstar on their cast, especially after GK Barry proved such a success last year.

“Angry Ginge has bags of personality and was really friendly to everyone at Soccer Aid this year. He made a great impression.”

 

Tommy Fury

 

Whilst supporters may recall Tommy was speculated for last year’s programme, he has returned to the rumoured roster for 2025.

He allegedly declined I’m A Celebrity owing to a boxing commitment. The Love Islander confessed he’s keen to take part in the programme, suggesting 2025 might be his moment.

Tommy told the Mirror: “I’m a Celeb is an amazing show and it’s something I want to do in the future but at the end of the day I am what I am, I’m a fighter and I’ve been doing it since I was a kid.”

 

Shona McGarty

 

The EastEnders legend may fancy heading Down Under for a fresh challenge after saying goodbye to Whitney Dean last year.

She revealed her desire to “pursue things that are in [her] heart,” following her departure from the BBC soap.

In May, the Sun reported Shona was in advanced discussions to enter the jungle, meaning Shona could be back on our screens once more.

 

Jools Oliver

The TV chef Jamie Oliver’s spouse might step into the limelight after he revealed he’d give the programme a wide berth. Jamie fuelled rumours Jools could be on the roster after he featured in a livestream with presenters Ant and Dec..

“Thanks for the offer, boys. I would love to come on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! , I think it’s an amazing show,” he said.

Jamie acknowledged ITV “couldn’t give me enough olive oil in the world ” to participate.

Nevertheless, he hinted: “But what I can give you is my wife Jools. She would love to be on the show. Go on, Jools!”

 

Denise van Outen

Denise van Outen is another speculated campmate for the upcoming series.

The broadcaster and entertainer is well-versed in reality TV competition programmes, having previously participated in the likes of Strictly Come Dancing, The Masked Singer and Dancing on Ice. Denise has previously hinted at her willingness to participate in I’m A Celebrity.

In a 2021 interview with the Sun, she stated: “I will do it at some point.”

She also mentioned that appearing on the show for her 50th birthday would be “nice,” although she turned 51 earlier this year and has yet to make her debut as a campmate.

According to the Sun, bookmakers had reduced her odds of joining the camp from 5/1 to 2/1 last month.

A Ladbrokes spokesperson told the publication: “It looks like the stars have finally aligned to give us Denise van Outback in 2025. With a new album in the autumn and a tour booked for the spring, there’s a glaring hole in her calendar that she could fill with a Bushtucker Trial or two.”

 

Wayne Rooney

Former footballer Wayne Rooney has hinted that he might follow in his wife Coleen Rooney’s footsteps by taking part in the jungle-based reality show. Coleen was a finalist in last year’s series, finishing as the runner-up.

Speaking about the possibility, he said on an episode of the Wayne Rooney Show released earlier this month: “I think I would … I would … at the right time. I’d struggle with some of the trials, though. Y’know the worst one, y’know where they walk into a room [and] there’s like a big ostrich just looking at you.”

He added: “I didn’t [know I was scared of ostriches] but I’m just picturing them being there.”

His co-presenter Kae Kurd remarked: “I reckon the producers of I’m a Celeb are watching this and just going … rubbing their hands at this opportunity now.”

Wayne, however, hinted that his work obligations would prevent him from participating this year, but that doesn’t necessarily rule out a future appearance on I’m A Celeb.

Wayne stated: “I can’t, can I? Because I wouldn’t be able to do the podcast in there, so I can’t do it.” Co-host Kelly Somers agreed that was a “good excuse”

 

Conor Benn

Boxing sensation Conor Benn is reportedly being considered for the new series of I’m A Celebrity.

Conor, son of former two-division world champion boxer Nigel Benn, is set to face Chris Eubank Jr on 15 November in a much-anticipated rematch.

“The logistics are a challenge given how close the match is to the start of the jungle, but ITV and Conor are keen to make this happen if they can,” an insider said about Conor’s potential jungle stint.

“Conor’s profile has soared due to the intense rivalry between him and Chris Eubank Jr. Obviously, Conor’s main priority is the fight. But with his great physique, he is also likely to provide the show with this year’s male pin-up. I’m A Celeb bosses think he’ll make a great addition to the camp. One option is that he goes in as a late entry.”

 

Ruby Wax

 

Comedian Ruby Wax is reportedly in advanced negotiations for the new series of I’m A Celebrity.

A source said: “Ruby’s a proper TV legend and adds real gravitas to this year’s line-up. She’s interviewed some of the biggest stars in the world so will have no problem getting to know her fellow campmates. It will make great TV for viewers.”

Ruby is well-versed in stepping outside her comfort zone. Back in 2023, she spent ten days on a remote island for Channel 5’s Ruby Wax: Cast Away.

 

Alex Scott.

Former Lioness and sports TV presenter Alex Scott is rumoured to be in the running for the new series. Reports suggest that Alex is eager to reveal a different aspect of her personality to the British public, who typically see her in a professional light.

An insider said: “Alex loves pushing herself out of her comfort zone and where better to do it than the jungle? The public know her as a sportswoman and a serious broadcaster so she thinks she can show people a side to her that they’ve never seen before.

They added: “Alex is game for anything and is a tough cookie so she’s ready for anything that gets thrown at her – literally.”

Alex’s personal life has also been under the spotlight after it was revealed that she was dating singer Jess Glynne.

 

Vogue Williams.

A decade after her husband Spencer Matthews was ejected from I’m A Celebrity, could Vogue be making her way to the jungle?

The Made in Chelsea personality was ejected from the jungle after just three days in 2015 for taking steroids without informing production staff in advance.

Now, Vogue has been hailed as “one of the most glam signings” in years.

“She is really fun and gets on with everyone, so bosses reckon she will be a hit with viewers,” a source explained.

“It has been a hard decision to go on the show, because it will mean so much time away from her kids, but she wants to fight her fears and go for it.

“Spencer is a massive thrillseeker and is always off on an adventure, but now it is Vogue’s turn to have one.”
