Poor unfortunate soul.

A brand new collection of bright-eyed celebrity contestants are swapping out their lives of comfort for cots, dirt and bugs in the 2025 season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Out of Here! Australia.

But with the many twists and challenges often presented on I’m A Celebrity, it’s reasonable to say that Julia and Robert will be the only constant in 2025.

We viewers will remain in the comfort of our walls, laughing while these unfortunate celebrities will face extreme tasks. However, no one will quite make us laugh like Welsh reality TV star, Callum Hole in the 2024 season.

Despite last year’s stellar line-up of contestants, we must put them aside to make room for the 2025 list of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia contestants.

In mid-January, Channel Ten teased fans with the identity of one contestant. Continue scrolling to find out which celebrity contestants are heading into the South African jungle in 2025.
