Who Is On I'm A Celeb 2025

So there I was, last Tuesday, half-watching the telly and scrolling through my phone. My nan, who’s seventy-three and somehow still more online than I am, suddenly yelled from the kitchen: “Is that the one from that Love Island with the dog?” I nearly choked on my tea. It was, in fact, a blurry promo for I’m A Celebrity 2025, and my nan has already identified the camp drama before the official lineup dropped.

This is the magic of the jungle, isn’t it? It turns celebs—some you vaguely remember, some you definitely don't—into your new favorite (or most hated) reality TV character. So, who the heck is actually going into the Australian bush this year? Let’s break it down, with the gossip meter on high.

The ‘Wait, They’re Still Famous?’ Brigade

First up, we have Jake Pendleton. You might remember him as the guy from that 2016 boy band who had exactly one hit. Now? He hosts a moderately popular podcast about crypto. (Because of course he does.) Word is he’ll be the one “accidentally” talking about his music career every five minutes.

Then there’s Mara Singh, the actress who played a minor villain in a major superhero movie back in 2019. She’s been living off that one role ever since. Honestly? I’m rooting for her—she’ll either be a fantastic schemer or cry on day two over a spider. Either way, good telly.

Don’t forget Uncle Baz, a 62-year-old former children’s TV presenter who smells faintly of Werther’s Originals. He’s the “lovable old codger” slot, guaranteed to win the eating trial while everyone else vomits. My nan already has a crush on him. Don’t ask.

The ‘Internet Made Them Do It’ Picks

Oh, you thought the influencer wave was over? Adorable. This year, we’ve got Lexi O’Brien, a TikTokker with 8 million followers who’s famous for… lip-syncing in a car. She’s already posted a “jungle prep” video set to a sad piano track.

But the real wild card is Ravi Kohli, the chef who went viral last year for screaming at a customer on his food truck. The memes were brutal. Now he’s trying to “show his soft side.” I’m calling it now: he’ll be the one who argues about rice portions in camp and then hugs a kangaroo. Absolute chaos.

The ‘Blisters From Reality TV’ Veterans

It wouldn’t be jungle season without a ring-in from another reality show. Meet Chloe-May (yes, just one name, like Cher). She was famous for being a villain on The Bachelor UK in 2023. She’s since reinvented herself as a life coach. I can already hear the campfire arguments about her “vibe.”

We also have Dan the Fireman, an actual firefighter who won a reality competition show about saving puppies. He’s so wholesome it hurts. I fully expect him to build a five-star shelter out of palm leaves while everyone else complains about the toilet situation. He’s the one you vote for because he reminds you of your nice neighbor.

The ‘Legitimately Famous’ One (A Rarity)

Every year, there’s one person you can’t believe actually signed up. This year, it’s Sir Ian Crabtree, a 70-year-old Oscar-nominated actor who played a wizard in a massive fantasy franchise. He’s allegedly doing it for his grandson, but let’s be real—he probably needs a new kitchen. The producers are already praying he doesn’t quit on day one. He will. Or he’ll become the cult hero.

Also in this VIP lane is Sunmi Park, a K-pop soloist whose last tour sold out Wembley. She speaks four languages and has the patience of a saint. She will absolutely dominate the bushtucker trials while looking like she’s meditating. Meanwhile, everyone else is screaming at a spider.

My Predictions (Based on Absolutely Nothing)

Here’s where I put my money—metaphorically, because gambling is bad. First elimination? Jake Pendleton. He’ll complain about the food and get voted out before the first cyclone. Biggest drama? Chloe-May vs. Lexi over a hairbrush. Mark my calendar.

Winner? Honestly, I’m leaning toward Dan the Fireman or that chef. People love a redemption arc, and crying on television is a cheat code for votes. Just ask any past winner who sobbed over a letter from home.

The Bottom Line (For Now)

So, there you have it. I’m A Celebrity 2025 is shaping up to be a glorious mess of nostalgia, barely-known celebrities, and one actual legend. My nan is already planning her viewing parties—she’s even bought a corkboard for “camp conspiracies.”

Honestly? I’m jealous. Grab your snacks, mute the ads, and prepare for the chaos. Who are you rooting for? Let me know before the jungle does something unexpected—like making a crypto bro cry over a grub. That’s the show we deserve.
