One I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! contestant has already been tipped to win the ITV reality show but it’s not looking good for Eddie Kadi
One campmate from I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! has already suffered a significant setback.
10 well-known personalities have signed up for the challenging ITV reality show, which begins tonight (November 16), but only one can emerge victorious.
Shona McGarty, Eddie Kadi, Aitch, Alex Scott MBE, Jack Osbourne, Lisa Riley, Kelly Brook, Angry Ginge, Ruby Wax OBE and Martin Kemp are all trading their luxurious lifestyles for camp life in the Australian jungle.
They will likely be joined by some latecomers, with Irish TV personality Vogue Williams and Celebs Go Dating receptionist Tom Read Wilson rumoured to be heading to Oz in the coming days.
Ozzy Osbourne’s son Jack and content creator Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwhistle, are the favourites to win this year’s I’m A Celeb, according to Ladbrokes.
The bookmakers have disclosed exactly where the money has been placed so far, and unsurprisingly, clear 7/4 favourite Angry Ginge is leading the popularity charts, having been the subject of 19.6% of all bets placed so far.

Jack is not far behind in terms of bets placed, with 18.8% of the backing, while former Spandau Ballet singer Martin Kemp rounds out the top three at 14.9%.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes commented: “Angry Ginge is clearly the one to beat Down Under – he’s got the backing of punters up to this point, but Jack Osbourne’s popularity may well surprise a few ahead of the series opener.”, reports the Daily Star.
On the other hand, comedian Eddie is currently pegged at a mere 50/1. Eddie’s stint on I’m a Celebrity isn’t his first foray into reality television, having previously graced the dance floor in the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing back in 2023.
Paired with professional dancer Karen Hauer, they were the fourth couple to bid farewell to the competition.
Eddie has made a name for himself through his radio presenting work for the BBC, notably on BBC 1Extra’s Official UK Afrobeats Charts Show and BBC Radio 5 Live’s sports comedy panel show Fighting Talk. In 2010, he took to the stage at the O2 arena as part of his comedy tour and has since performed globally.
When asked to participate in I’m a Celebrity, Eddie Kadi confessed it was an “immediate yes”, driven by his desire to make his daughter proud.
“Raising a daughter is a beautiful thing and my daughter is extremely excited. It’s going to be a story for her every single day.
“And if I were to be crowned ‘King of the Jungle’, my daughter would be the proudest daughter in the world,” he expressed.
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! airs at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
