The 25th series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is set to return to ITV later this month with a line-up reportedly including actors, musicians, comedians and reality TV favourites.
ITV’s long-running survival show will once again be hosted by Declan Donnelly, 50, and Ant McPartlin, 49, who will oversee a new batch of celebrities taking on Bushtucker trials in Dungay, New South Wales, and The Sun has reported it has the full line-up of famous faces for the latest run of the Australian-based series.
Among those said to be preparing to head into the jungle is actor and comedian Ruby Wax, 72. Ruby, who rose to fame in the 1970s, is best known for Girls On Top and the BBC series Absolutely Fabulous, as well as her own shows The Full Wax and When Ruby Wax Met… .
A source told The Sun: “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.”
Reportedly joining her is social media personality Angry Ginge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, 23, who found fame on YouTube and Twitch talking about football.
A source 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.”
TV presenter and former footballer Alex Scott, 41, is also said to be joining the line-up.
A source 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.”
Actor Shona McGarty, 33, known for playing Whitney Dean on EastEnders, will take part following her departure from the BBC soap, according to The Sun.
She recently starred as Bettie Page in Queen Of Pin-ups: The Musical.
Presenter Vogue Williams, 40, has also reportedly signed up.
A source told The Sun: “She is really fun and gets on with everyone, so bosses reckon she will be a hit with viewers.”
Other names said to be confirmed include Emmerdale star Lisa Riley, 49, model and TV personality Kelly Brook, 45, musician and Spandau Ballet member Martin Kemp, 64, comedian Eddie Kadi, 42, and television personality Jack Osbourne, 39.
Rapper Aitch, real name Harrison James Armstrong, 25, will also reportedly enter the jungle.
An insider added: “Aitch has a massive following among teenagers and 20-somethings and bosses will be hoping he’ll bring a new generation of fans.”
Rounding out the line-up is said to be Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson, 38.
A source said: “ITV bosses are confident Tom will be a real breakout star in this year’s series. He’s got a huge personality and is totally hilarious, so he could be a real dark horse and be hugely popular with the public.”
