It’s that time of the year again – prepare for some critters and disgusting meals as I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is back. With the 2025 edition due to get under way next weekend, the stars are beginning to make their way to Australia.
The 25th season of the long-running ITV reality series will begin on Sunday (16 November) as 12 celebrities enter the jungle for a variety of challenges which may include some physical exertion and creepy-crawlies.
With hosts Ant & Dec unveiling a Christmas-themed teaser trailer earlier this month, anticipation for the season ramped up ahead of its launch, with the line-up being confirmed last week.

Close behind was Emmerdale star Lisa Riley, with the actor also being pictured at the same airport. The star, who plays Mandy Dingle on the ITV soap, expressed her excitement when speaking to the Daily Mail.
“My family are really rooting for me, they’re really happy that I’m here,” she said. “I’m fine with creepy crawlings, I’ve worked on a farm for many years so it’s part of the job being Mandy Dingle.
