Social Media Slip-Up Reveals Potential Jungle Stars
In what appears to be a major pre-launch blunder, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! fans believe they've uncovered four contestants for the 2025 series through social media activity, despite ITV maintaining official silence about the line-up.
Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that several famous faces have all recently started following the show's official Instagram account, sparking widespread speculation that their participation has been accidentally confirmed ahead of schedule.
The Suspected Contestants
According to evidence shared by fans on Reddit, the four celebrities whose social media activity has raised eyebrows are:
- Martin Kemp, 64-year-old Spandau Ballet legend and EastEnders actor
- Alex Scott, 41-year-old football pundit and former Lioness
- Lisa Riley, 49-year-old Emmerdale favourite known for playing Mandy Dingle
- Eddie Kadi, 42-year-old comedian and Strictly Come Dancing alum
One excited fan posted screenshots on Reddit as supposed proof, writing: "It looks like Martin Kemp, Alex Scott, Lisa Riley and Eddie Kadi have all followed the I'm A Celeb page... surely that confirms it?"
Behind the Rumoured Signings
This social media activity adds substantial weight to ongoing speculation about this year's jungle inhabitants. Lisa Riley has previously expressed interest in the show and was reportedly in discussions with ITV bosses. An insider revealed: "Lisa's perfect for the jungle — she's funny, mischievous and loved by soap fans. She'll definitely stir things up in camp."
Martin Kemp brings reality TV experience and would follow in the footsteps of both his son Roman and former Spandau Ballet bandmate Tony Hadley, who previously appeared on the show. A source told The Mirror that producers were "excited" about securing such a big name, adding: "Martin's an icon from the 80s and a household name thanks to EastEnders — he'd be a fantastic signing."
Meanwhile, Alex Scott is rumoured to be taking the plunge to show viewers a different side to her serious broadcaster persona. Sources told The Sun the former footballer wants to "push herself out of her comfort zone" and is "up for a challenge and ready for anything."
Eddie Kadi, known for his quick wit and charm, is expected to bring plenty of humour to the camp. A source revealed: "Eddie's hilarious — he'll keep morale high and win over a lot of new fans."
Wider Speculation and Official Silence
While these four names appear strongest in the speculation, other rumoured contestants said to be in talks include EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, TV personality Jack Osbourne and comedian Ruby Wax.
Despite the compelling social media evidence and multiple insider reports, ITV has yet to confirm any official cast details for the upcoming series. The broadcaster typically maintains strict secrecy around the line-up until closer to the show's launch, making this potential social media revelation particularly significant for eager fans.
As anticipation builds for the 2025 series, viewers are piecing together every available clue about who might be facing bush tucker trials in the jungle later this year.
