Comedian and entertainer Eddie Kadi is trading the spotlight for the jungle as he joins the I'm A Celebrity 2025 lineup this November. The 42-year-old performer will be facing Bushtucker trials and camp life alongside fellow celebrities including Aitch, Angry Ginge, and Alex Scott.
From Congo to Comedy Stardom
Born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eddie moved to the UK with his family when he was just eight years old. Settling in London, he developed his passion for performance and television that would eventually propel him to fame. While he's recently appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, Eddie is primarily known for his work on the comedy circuit.
Speaking about his jungle adventure, Eddie admitted: "I've never been anywhere near a rainforest or a jungle. As excited as I am, I think I need a map. My biggest worry is the diet! I've tried not to think about the trials. I'm brave indoors!"
Record-Breaking Career Achievements
Eddie made entertainment history by becoming the first ever Black British solo comedian to sell out the IndigO2 arena. He later repeated this incredible feat at the main O2 arena, cementing his status as a groundbreaking performer.
Reflecting on his ambitious career moves, Eddie told The Independent: "Some people would say that I should continue playing it safe in smaller venues but I don't see why I should keep taking baby-steps when I am confident I can take giant leaps. I am always looking to improve and move my career forward."
Beyond stand-up comedy, Eddie has expanded his creative portfolio to include acting, reality television appearances, and hosting his own podcast.
Private Personal Life
Despite his public profile, Eddie remains intensely private about his personal relationships. His current relationship status and whether he has children remains unknown, as the comedian has chosen to keep this aspect of his life away from the spotlight.
As Eddie prepares to face the jungle challenges, fans will be watching to see how his indoor bravery translates to the Australian wilderness when I'm A Celebrity 2025 begins.
