I’m A Celebrity…Get Met Out Of Here! will be back on our screens before we know it – and the rumour mill surrounding the campmates is picking up speed. 

A brand new crop of celebrities will be arriving in Australia in just a few short months to swap their lives of luxury for an existence of basic rations, insects and grim challenges.

But who is willing to give the ITV show a go? Here, we take a look at all the stars rumoured to be taking part in I’m A Celebrity so far…

I’m A Celebrity 2025 rumoured campmates: Actress Lisa Riley

Lisa Riley is reportedly heading into the I’m A Celebrity camp this year. It has been claimed she was the first famous face to be snared by ITV for the 2025 series after previously turning the show down.

Lisa is best known for playing Mandy Dingle in the soap Emmerdale. The actress originally took on the role from 1995 to 2001, before reprising it in 2019.

Fat Friends fans will remember Lisa as Rebecca Patterson in the hit comedy. She’s also appeared in dramas including the BBC’s Waterloo Road and ITV’s Scott and Bailey. Lisa presented You’ve Been Framed for four years and took part in the 2012 series of Strictly Come Dancing.

In a past interview, the 49-year-old star admitted she had been approached multiple times for I’m A Celebrity. She told the Daily Star: “They ask me every year. They dangle that big carrot every year. I’ve always said ‘no’, but the older I get… I’m 47. I always go, ‘Corr, I’m getting old’.”

She added: “In my head I always feel like I’m 19. I’m never going to change who I am. But maybe if there was a milestone like my 50th. Then maybe.”

Now is a good a time as any, as Lisa turns 50 in July next year!

Adam Hussain: Soap star

I’m A Celebrity fans could be treated to a second soap star around the campfire this year. Adam Hussain is also tipped to join Lisa Riley on the ITV show.

Adam, 24, is best known for playing Aadi Alahan in Coronation Street. He began portraying Aadi in 2020, having taken over the role from Zennon Ditchett.

Earlier this year, Adam confirmed he had quit Corrie after five years. The actor has recently filmed a comedy horror movie and the odds are now on for an IAC appearance.

Mike Reading, spokesman for betting agents Betway, said: “Adam Hussain looks set for a brand new adventure beyond Coronation Street. With the I’m A Celeb line-up still firmly under wraps, we have priced him up at 7/1 to swap the Rovers Return for bugs, rice, and beans.”

Adam is yet to comment on the speculation.

Denise van Outen: TV presenter

There has apparently been a rush of bets on Denise van Outen taking part in I’m A Celebrity this year. Denise is best known for hosting The Big Breakfast alongside Johnny Vaughn in the 1990s, but fans will also recognise her for multiple other ventures.

Denise, 51, has been a judge on TV talent shows Any Dream Will Do, Born to Shine and Ireland’s Got Talent. She’s guest presented on This Morning, starred on Strictly Come Dancing and hosted radio shows.

Denise has also enjoyed a glittering stage career as an actress and singer, appearing in multiple West End productions. These days, fans will recognise her as the narrator for The Only Way Is Essex and for appearing on Celebrity Gogglebox alongside her close friend, Blue star Duncan James.

In previous years, Denise has admitted to turning down I’m A Celebrity. But a suddenly flurry of bets indicates this might finally be the year she says yes.

Cal Gildart from Ladbrokes said: “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.”

Jules Oliver: Wife of TV chef Jamie and former model

I’m A Celebrity hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were behind this rumour. Last year, during the 2024 series of IAC, the pair appeared to ‘sign’ Jules Oliver for this year.

During an Instagram live, which was filmed in camp, the Geordie duo were joined by Jules’ husband, TV chef Jamie Oliver. Jamie was quick to decline the chance to appear on the show, but said: “What I can give you is my wife Jools, she would love to be on the show. ‘Go on Jools’.”

Ant replied: “We would take Jools.” Dec added: “Jools Oliver, first booking for 2025. Thanks Jools, see you in Australia next year.”

Apart from being married to Jamie Oliver – aka The Naked Chef – Jools has also worked as a fashion model. She was actually employed as a waitress when she met Jamie aged 18, before becoming his PA after he hit the big time.

Jools is short for Juliette. The 50-year-old shares five children with Jamie, who she married in 2000.

Jack Grealish: Footballer

England footballer Jack Grealish only has himself to thank for the I’m A Celebrity campmate rumours surrounding him – as he has already volunteered himself for the show.

Last year, Jack called in to I’m A Celeb hosts Ant and Dec and asked if he could sign up. He a recorded voicemail that was played live on air on spin-off show, Extra Camp.

Jack, 29, said: “I can’t lie to you this is something that I’d absolutely love to do. It’s a show that I’ve watched since I was little and it’s a show that I love.”

He continued: “I don’t know how I’d get on in there and I don’t think I’d be the best to be honest but I’d give it a go. Obviously not this year as I don’t think Pep [Guardiola, Man City’s manager] would be happy if I ended up there this year.”

The only issue is, Jack is now on loan for one year to Everton. This means the midfielder is unlikely to be swapping football boots for walking boots this year, either…

Shona McGarty: EastEnders star

Another soap star, you say? Shona McGarty has been in “advanced talks” with I’m A Celebrity bosses, according to reports. It comes after the actress quit EastEnders after 16 years.

Shona, 33, had played Whitney Dean in the BBC soap since 2008 but bowed out last year. It has since been claimed Shona is being lined up for a “big money deal” to enter the jungle as a 2025 campmate.

A TV insider told The Sun: “Jungle bosses have been keen to sign up the soap queen for ages. Shona is Walford royalty and hugely popular with TV viewers, she’s got bags of charisma and producers think she’ll be a great campmate.”

Shona is best known for playing Whitney in EastEnders, but she has been focusing on launching a singing career in recent months. She previously showed off her vocal ability on Children in Need in 2012 and sang at the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance for BBC One last year.

Tommy Fury: Boxer and reality star

Rumours were rife that Tommy Fury had dropped out of I’m A Celebrity after signing up for the 2024 series. Although it was never confirmed by ITV, Tommy was said to have pulled out two weeks before flying Down Under.

It was claimed he’d received a more lucrative offer to fight YouTuber and Britain’s Got Talent judge, KSI. The fight, however, never went ahead. Tommy was reportedly replaced on the show by McFly star Danny Jones, who went on to be crowed King of the Jungle.

Tommy, who shares daughter Bambi with his Love Island co-star Molly-Mae Hague, is now apparently keen to actually give it a go this year.

The 26-year-old previously said: “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.”

Nick Ferrari: Broadcaster

Broadcast Nick Ferrari was recently at the centre of I’m A Celebrity campmate rumours. Nick is best known for hosting Nick Ferrari At Breakfast on LBC. He is also a regular guest on ITV’s This Morning.

It had been claimed Nick, 66, will be hanging up his radio mic for a place in the jungle this year. He’s already good friends with I’m A Celebrity…South Africa Legend Myleene Klass (she played the harp at his wedding this summer) and it was even claimed he was offered a whopping £200,000 to take part.

But apparently, Nick has turned it down. A TV insider told the Daily Star: “Producers think Nick would be a brilliant campmate because he’s super smart and he isn’t afraid to say what he thinks. He’s also interviewed a lot of high-profile politicians, so he might spill gossip about what really goes on in Westminster.

“But even a massive offer hasn’t convinced him. Nick has just got married, so he wants to enjoy time with family.”
