The fresh series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! is anticipated to kick off in just a few weeks' time, featuring a brand new batch of famous faces tackling the notorious Bushtucker Trials. The celebrities will jet off to Australia to share living quarters in the jungle camp. This year's participants will be hoping to emulate the success of musician Danny Jones, renowned as part of McFly, who claimed the King of the Jungle crown last year. Initially, they must endure the ordeal of the programme, which will once more be presented by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly. Whilst we eagerly anticipate the comeback of the ITV programme, we examine the stars who are speculated to feature in the upcoming series or have dropped hints about a jungle adventure. The casting speculation prior to the official announcement encompasses soap stars, a football player and a social media sensation. Emmerdale darling Lisa Riley is reportedly being considered to exchange the Yorkshire Dales for the Australian wilderness, with sources indicating she's in serious discussions to participate, reports the Mirror . She's most recognised for portraying Mandy Dingle in the ITV drama, a character she originally embodied in 1995. A television source revealed to The Sun: "Lisa is the perfect celebrity for the show because not only is she from a soap watched by millions she's one of its biggest characters and it's an ITV show to boot. "She also has a naughty, mischievous sense of humour which is guaranteed to get a big response from her other celebrity campmates during their time in the jungle. Lisa is by no means the first star from Emmerdale to have gone on I'm a Celebrity and those that do always tend to get a great response from viewers at home." Earlier this year, Lisa hinted at her interest in joining the reality show, saying: "I'm A Celebrity...is something I would do before I turned 50 as a test for myself." OK! has contacted ITV for comment. Social media sensation Angry Ginge, who boasts over three million followers across platforms like Instagram and Tik Tok, is another name being bandied about. He could potentially follow in the footsteps of previous contestants Nella Rose and GK Barry. The social media influencer, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, reportedly caught the eye of ITV bosses during the annual charity football match Soccer Aid. An insider 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. He made a great impression." While Tommy Fury was rumoured to join last year's show, he's back on the speculative list for 2025. He allegedly declined an offer to join I'm A Celebrity due to a boxing match. Love Island's Tommy Fury has expressed his interest in joining the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! line-up, telling the Mirror: "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." EastEnders ' Shona McGarty , who played Whitney Dean, could be swapping Albert Square for the Australian jungle. After leaving the soap, she revealed her desire to "pursue things that are in [her] heart," and reports suggest she's in advanced talks to join the show. Jools Oliver, wife of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver , might be stepping into the limelight after Jamie hinted at her participation during a livestream with Ant and Dec. He said: "Thanks for the offer, boys. I would love to come on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! , I think it's an amazing show," Admitting he wouldn't take part himself, he suggested: "But what I can give you is my wife Jools. She would love to be on the show. Go on, Jools!" TV presenter Denise van Outen is also rumoured to be joining the campmates. No stranger to reality TV, having appeared on Strictly Come Dancing , The Masked Singer and Dancing on Ice, Denise could be set to face the jungle trials next. Denise Van Outen has previously hinted at a possible appearance on I'm A Celebrity. In a chat with The Sun in 2021, she revealed: "I will do it at some point." She also mentioned that participating in the show for her 50th birthday would be "nice," although she turned 51 this year and hasn't yet made her debut as a campmate. According to The Sun, bookmakers recently cut her odds of joining the jungle from 5/1 to 2/1. A Ladbrokes spokesperson told the publication: "It looks like the stars have finally aligned to give us Denise van Outback in 2025. With a new album in the autumn and a tour booked for the spring, there's a glaring hole in her calendar that she could fill with a Bushtucker Trial or two." Ex-footballer Wayne Rooney has hinted he might follow in his wife Coleen Rooney's footsteps by taking part in the jungle-based reality show. Coleen was a finalist on last year's series, finishing as runner-up. Speaking about the possibility, he said on an episode of the Wayne Rooney Show released earlier this month: "I think I would ... I would ... at the right time. I'd struggle with some of the trials, though. Y'know the worst one, y'know where they walk into a room [and] there's like a big ostrich just looking at you." He added: "I didn't [know I was scared of ostriches] but I'm just picturing them being there." Kae Kurd, Wayne's co-host, cheekily suggested: "I reckon the producers of I'm a Celeb are watching this and just going ... rubbing their hands at this opportunity now." However, Wayne was quick to point out his work commitments, saying: "I can't, can I? Because I wouldn't be able to do the podcast in there, so I can't do it." Kelly Somers, another co-host, agreed that it was a "good excuse". Boxing sensation Conor Benn is rumoured to be joining the new series of I'm A Celebrity. The son of former two-division world champion boxer Nigel Benn, Conor is set to face off against Chris Eubank Jr on 15 November in a much-anticipated rematch. "The logistics are a challenge given how close the match is to the start of the jungle, but ITV and Conor are keen to make this happen if they can," an insider revealed about Conor's potential jungle stint. "Conor's profile has soared due to the intense rivalry between him and Chris Eubank Jr. Obviously, Conor's main priority is the fight. But with his great physique, he is also likely to provide the show with this year's male pin-up. I'm A Celeb bosses think he'll make a great addition to the camp. One option is that he goes in as a late entry." Comedy legend Ruby Wax is reportedly in advanced talks to join the new series of I'm A Celebrity. "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," a source said. Ruby is no stranger to putting herself out of her comfort zone. She spent ten days on a remote island for Channel 5's Ruby Wax: Cast Away back in 2023. Former Lioness and sports TV presenter Alex Scott is reportedly being lined up for the new series. According to reports, Alex is keen to show the British public a different side to her personality as they only see her in a professional manner. "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," a source said. They added: "Alex is game for anything and is a tough cookie so she's ready for anything that gets thrown at her - literally." Alex's personal life has also been a talking point after it emerged that she was in a relationship with singer Jess Glynne. 10 years after her husband Spencer Matthews was removed from I'm A Celebrity, could Vogue be heading for the jungle? The Made in Chelsea star was removed from camp after three days back in 2015 because he was taking steroids and didn't tell producers beforehand. Now, Vogue has been tipped as "one of the most glam signings" in years. "She is really fun and gets on with everyone, so bosses reckon she will be a hit with viewers," a source explained. "It has been a hard decision to go on the show, because it will mean so much time away from her kids, but she wants to fight her fears and go for it. "Spencer is a massive thrillseeker and is always off on an adventure, but now it is Vogue's turn to have one."
