I'm a Celeb 2025 Premiere Packed with Surprises and Celeb Antics

The 2025 season of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here premiered on November 17th, 2025, with hosts Ant and Dec poking fun at the celebrity line-up. The duo teased the "biggest names" taking part, including Aitch from Steps, who Dec joked was "rapping now" instead of being in the band. They also poked fun at Martin Kemp, calling him a "classic nepo daddy" for following in the footsteps of his son Roman.

The celebrities faced a series of grueling challenges, including an eating trial dubbed "The Divy" that saw Ruby Wax and Angry Ginge as the first participants. ITV has changed the rules so that celebrities can only do two trials in a row. Meanwhile, other celebrities had to navigate a "Cockie van" filled with bugs and cockroaches to reach the camp.
