I'm A Celebrity 2025 is just around the corner, with the rumoured line-up teasing an Emmerdale legend, Manchester YouTuber and Loose Women star may be taking part. The annual Ant and Dec ITV series will return on Sunday, November 16, as a new batch of famous faces head down under to take on creepy crawlies and bushtucker trials. Last year saw McFly singer Danny Jones crowned King of the Jungle over Coleen Rooney and Rev. Richard Coles in a tense final. As with any other year, rumours have been circulating online on just who will be trying their hand at one of the nation’s favourite programmes. While it is yet to be announced or confirmed by ITV on who will be taking part, The Sun is reporting that these celebrities are taking part in I'm A Celebrity 2025 . Best known for playing Whitney Dean on EastEnders , Shona McCarty recently launched her own pop career just 12 months on from leaving Walford. Joining EastEnders when she was a teenager in 2008, the adopted daughter of Patsy Palmer’s Bianca Jackson was involved in a number of major storylines, including her affair with Danny Dyer’s Mick Carter. Model and actress Kelly Brooke wouldn’t be the first Loose Women star to join I’m A Celebrity, with Linda Robson, Janet Street-Porter and Jane Moore all serving as campmates over the years. Kelly is no stranger to reality TV, having finished in fifth place as Frog on The Masked singer in 2021 and taking part in Celebrity Race Across the World last year. Fans are convinved that Spandau Ballet bassist and former EastEnders baddie Martin Kemp is following in his son Roman’s, who appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2019, footsteps. Speculation has been growing after it was confirmed that Martin won’t be appearing at a scheduled event in Scotland at the weekend, with the organisers of the Fubar nightclub in Stirling issuing a statement. “We’ve just had word that Martin Kemp won’t be able to join us this Saturday as planned. He's been called away for a major TV commitment. You'll no doubt see it all over the telly very soon," they said. 42-year-old comedian Eddie Kadi is rumoured to be the latest comedian taking on the role of bringing the laughs to the camp. Eddie previously competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2023 with Karen Hauer, becoming the fourth couple to be eliminated from the competition. Jill Scott paved the way for former England footballers on I’m A Celebrity, famously winning the 2022 series. Alex Scott may be following in Jill’s footsteps, with the Football Focus presenter, who played 140 times for her country, rumoured to be taking part. Ruby, 72, isn’t afraid of going out of her comfort zone, having spent ten days on a remote island for Channel 5's Ruby Wax: Cast Away back in 2023. While I’m A Celebrity is a lot different from her past series, legendary comedian Ruby would be a big hit with viewers if she decides to take part. 39-year-old Jack suffered heartbreak earlier in the year when his dad and rock legend Ozzy Osbourne passed away at the age of 76 following years of health struggles. Heading into the jungle may be a good distraction for Jack, who has previously shared his love of thrills on his Adrenaline Junkie series. Lisa Riley , who has played Mandy Dingle on Emmerdale since 1995, has been rumoured to be part of the series for a number of months. While nothing has been confirmed, viewers of the ITV soap would be devastated to see Mandy taking a break from the dales. Manchester rapper Aitch is one of the most successful artists of his generation, scoring 20 top ten singles in the UK charts at the age of 25. Aitch, whose real name is Harrison James Armstrong, would be a huge pull for I’m A Celebrity in terms of bringing in younger viewers if rumours are to be believed. Podcaster and influencer Vogue Williams has been on fans’ wishlist for many years, having loved her on Netflix’s Bear Grylls: Mission Survive and the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special last year. The 40-year-old’s husband Spencer Matthews famously lasted just five days in the jungle after he was asked to leave the series for secretly taking steroid medication. Recent years have seen a rise in YouTubers taking part on reality TV shows, including George Clarke on Strictly, with Manchester’s Angry Ginge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, the next being tipped to make the move to mainstream TV. The 23-year-old, who took part in Soccer Aid this year, has remained tight-lipped after being teased on a number of his streams in recent weeks over the rumours he may be taking part. Having appeared on a number of panel shows and popular reality series, Tom may just be ready to take on his biggest challenge to date. Beginning his career on The Voice, Tom Read Wilson, 38, is best known for trying to find love on E4’s Celebs Go Dating. I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here returns on ITV One and ITVX on Sunday, November 16
