I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is set to return to our screens towards the end of the year, and rumours are already circulating over who could appear in the jungle
The season for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is nearly here, with speculation mounting over who might be venturing into the jungle this year.
Last series witnessed McFly vocalist Danny Jones being crowned King of the Jungle, whilst Maura Higgins, GK Barry, and Coleen Rooney endured Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly’s bush tucker trials.
Several names are being suggested for potential appearances in the All Stars edition of I’m A Celebrity, which transports former contestants to South Africa for another round.
However, before that programme broadcasts, the regular series is anticipated to commence towards the year’s end, traditionally running for three weeks spanning November and December, reports the Express.
As speculation starts to surface regarding the 2025 lineup, here are the celebrities who might feature.
Shona McGarty

Shona McGarty was one of the first names rumoured to be joining I’m A Celebrity, after she left EastEnders, having played Whitney Dean for 16 years.
She said at the time of her exit: “I have decided to spread my wings and will be leaving EastEnders. I have loved my years in the show.”
It’s now been claimed I’m A Celebrity bosses are keen to sign her for the jungle.
“Jungle bosses have been keen to sign up the soap queen for ages,” a source told The Sun.
“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.”
They added that I’m A Celebrity would be an opportunity for Shona to show a different side to her.
Patsy Palmer
Though it’ll be a change to have two EastEnders actress’ in the jungle, Patsy was another name from the soap linked to I’m A Celebrity.
The Bianca Jackson actress has already appeared on Strictly, The Masked Singer, Dancing On Ice and Celebrity Big Brother, so is clearly no stranger to reality TV.
Earlier this year, Betway Casino revealed Patsy having odds of 2/1 to sign up for the 25th series of I’m A Celebrity.
She’d be following in the footsteps of Joe Swash, Jacqueline Jossa and Charlie Brooks – all EastEnders stars to have won I’m A Celebrity.
Jack Grealish
Jack Grealish is also facing odds to appear on I’m A Celebrity, after hinting he could make an appearance.
The Manchester City star told Ant and Dec in a video message last year: “I’ve heard that a few of you guys want to see me in the jungle.”
He went on: “I can’t lie, that is something that I’d absolutely love to do. It’s a show that I’ve watched for years since I was little and a show that I love.
“I don’t know how I’d get on in there. I don’t think I’d be the best to be honest but yeah, I’d give it a go.
“Obviously not this year, I don’t think Pep [Guardiola, Manchester City manager] would be too happy if I ended up in there this year. But you know, never say never, it could happen one day.”
Jools Oliver
Last year, Ant and Dec mentioned Jools Oliver, wife of TV chef Jamie Oliver, as 2025’s “first booking”.
Though Jamie had declined the chance to appear in the jungle, he revealed Jools would be up for the challenge.
He said: “Thanks for the offer boys, I would love to come on I’m A Celeb.
“I think it’s an amazing show, but honestly you couldn’t give me enough olive oil in the world to make me eat a witchetty grub or a kangaroo’s a**e, no way.
“But what I can give you is my wife Jools, she would love to be on the show. Go on Jools.”
Kate Cassidy
It had previously been reported that Kate Cassidy was “eyeing up” a reality show, after the death of her One Direction-singer boyfriend, Liam Payne.
A source told The Sun: “Kate is at a crossroads in her life. She’s bravely dealing with her grief, but at the same time she’s being flooded with offers and amazing opportunities, and she’s considering all her options.
“I’m A Celebrity is the one show she’d love to do above all else, as she has emotional ties to it.
“It was her and Liam’s favourite programme, and they talked about how much they’d both love to go into the jungle. Taking part would be a great comfort to her and make her feel close to Liam.”
Tommy Fury
It was claimed Tommy Fury rejected the chance to appear on I’m A Celebrity last year, months after his break up from Molly-Mae Hague.
The Love Island star hasn’t denied a future opportunity though, and explained his reasons for backing out last time due to the Darren Till fight.
“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,” Tommy said.
Meanwhile, names are also swirling over who could appear on I’m A Celebrity’s All Star series, which saw the likes of Carol Vorderman and Paul Burrell take to South Africa for the inaugural season of the show.
This time around, it’s been claimed Harry Redknapp, Gemma Collins and Adam Thomas could be taking part, though ITV has yet to announce any names.
I’m A Celebrity returns to ITV later this year.
