I'm A Celebrity 2025: All the stars rumoured to be heading into the jungle

The upcoming eleventh season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is set to premiere on January 19, with hosts Robert Irwin and Julia Morris welcoming a brand new group of stars to the jungle. Ahead of the launch, Channel 10 has started dropping clues for which celebrities will be donning an Akubra, facing their fears and flying to South Africa.

The show’s official Instagram account shared in a since-deleted post that the cast will include a Star of the Silver Screen, a Matinée Idol, a Football Strongman, a Leading Lady, a Sporting Hero, a Chart-Topper, a Comedy Genius, a Pop Culture Icon, a Radio Star and a Stadium Superstar. The guessing game has begun, so here’s everyone who may be appearing on I’m A Celebrity 2025.

Stand-Up Comedian

The latest celebrity descriptor posted on social media is a female Stand-Up Comedian who has “travelled the world and had a surprise TV hit”.

“Let’s see if their jokes can charm a snake or two,” Robert says in the promo.

The clue’s specificity seemingly points to Kitty Flanagan, whose comedy series Fisk became one of the top 10 shows on Netflix globally when it was added to the streaming service last year.

The clue package also features a globe pointing at Montreal and Edinburgh, and Kitty has been a regular performer at Just For Laughs in Montreal and Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Fans appear to be thrilled by the idea of the Logie Award winner joining the cast, with one person commenting: “If it is Kitty, that would be the best.”

UK TikTok Star

Another celebrity who has been announced is an English TikToker, with the voiceover teasing: “Hope they’re ready for some creepy new followers.”

“The only thing they’ll be posting is a cry for help,” Julia adds.

Fans have guessed it might be Amelia Dimoldenberg, best known for her Chicken Shop Date web series, or Jordana Grace, known as ‘That British Girl’ on TikTok but lives in Australia.

Others have questioned whether it might be Maddie Grace Jepson, who was nominated for ‘International Creator Of The Year’ at the 2023 TikTok Awards Australia and recently attended this year’s award show as the red carpet host.

Interestingly, Maddie is still in Australia after the event took place in November and has been spending time on the Gold Coast.

Influencer

Influencer Skye Wheatley took home the crown on the most recent season of I’m A Celebrity, and now another influencer is hoping to achieve similar success.

“An influencer with a taste for love is heading into the jungle, but she may not love the taste of Africa,” the clue says.

Social media users have predicted the influencer might be The Bachelorette’s Georgia Love, MAFS’ Jessika Power or MAFS’ Ella Ding, who has previously expressed interest in joining the show.

“I'd love to do I’m A Celebrity, I feel like that would be an amazing experience,” she told Yahoo Lifestyle in 2022. “It would be super challenging and outside my comfort zone. It would be very different.”

Reality Royalty

Someone else who has been teased on social media is a celebrity described as “reality royalty”, suggesting it’s someone who has either won a reality TV show or appeared on multiple shows.

“She’s conquered one house, but can she conquer camp?” the clue teases.

While some fans believe the house clue has to do with The Block, others think it might be referring to Reggie Bird who won Big Brother Australia in 2003 and 2022.

“If she's conquered a house... that means she's a Big Brother contestant, and if she's royalty that means she's won a season,” one fan commented. “There’s Reggie, Tay, Ari, Aleisha, or Terri, all of them have won before. But Reggie has won twice, so I feel like her chances are higher than the others.”

Meanwhile, plenty of people have suggested the celebrity will be Jessika Power, who has appeared on Married At First Sight, Celebrity Ex On The Beach, Celebs Go Dating and Big Brother VIP. The latter stint makes her not only 'reality royalty', but someone who has 'conquered one house'.

Another star who could be linked to this clue is Drag Race Down Under favourite and Logie-nominated performer Kween Kong, who fits the 'royal' clue thanks to their regal-sounding name.

Real Life Hero

Joining the lineup is someone who’s been described as a “real life hero”, with the clue reading: “A real life hero is taking on the African jungle, but this time, will they need to be rescued?”

Social media users predict the celebrity will most likely be someone who has appeared on Bondi Rescue, such as Bruce ‘Hoppo’ Hopkins.

Spicy Reality Star

One contestant tipped to cause drama in camp is a Spicy Reality Star who Channel 10 has described as “controversial”.

“Our digs in South Africa are known for making an impression, so will it be love at first sight, or will this Reality Star get a reality check?” the clue reads, all but confirming it will be someone from Married At First Sight.

Fans in the comments have guessed it’s Lauren Dunn, Jessika Power or Cyrell Paule, who recently competed on The Amazing Race Australia. However, a Channel 10 insider has told Yahoo Lifestyle it could be 2023 groom Harrison Boon.

The production source revealed last month that the father-of-one had been brought up “several times” within the network's discussions, although it's unclear if he’s received an actual offer to appear.

“Channel 10 wants the show to go back to being talked about in every office across Australia every morning, with huge personalities clashing in every episode,” our source detailed. “Harrison may not be the biggest name, but his views on women and feminism will infuriate people across the country and generate discussion - and they need a villain.”

Comedy Heavyweight

The show has teased that “one of Australia’s most famous funny guys” is heading into the jungle, prompting fans to guess Tom Gleeson, Carl Barron, Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes and Aaron Chen.

Many people are also convinced it’s Kath & Kim star Glenn Robbins after the show’s official Instagram account recently started following him - which is often a telltale sign as the account only follows former contestants.

Meanwhile, others have suggested the clue is about Hamish Blake, writing: “Hamish Blake won [the] 2011 New York bodybuilding championship in the heavyweight category. It was a joke and he was the only one heavy enough in his category so the heavyweight clue fits, and he is a legend.”

Romantic Leading Man

Reality TV fans are convinced a Bachelor star will be joining the cast as the Romantic Leading Man, following in the footsteps of former Bachelors Tim Robards and Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins.

“Can Mr Smooth sweet talk his way through camp?” the promo teases. “Hope he doesn’t break his heart!”

There are 13 possible contenders if it is a former Bachelor, although many think it could be season seven star Matt Agnew as he’s recently been increasing his media appearances and even popped up on Shark Tank last month.

There are 13 possible contenders if it is a former Bachelor, although many think it could be season seven star Matt Agnew as he’s recently been increasing his media appearances and even popped up on Shark Tank last month. There’s also a chance it could be Osher Günsberg, who has hosted every season of The Bachelor Australia as well as its spinoffs The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise.

I’m A Celebrity’s official Instagram account has recently started following Osher, which may be another clue that he’s joined the cast.

AFL Star

Another celebrity who has been teased is an AFL premiership winner who is “fresh from the game”.

“From the roar of the crowd to the roar of the lions,” Robert says in the promo, prompting fans to guess Brisbane Lions premiership player Joe Daniher. The 30-year-old made his debut with the Lions in 2021 and announced his retirement in October, just five days after winning the 2024 premiership.

Footy Legend

A Footy Legend is heading into the jungle, with the clue saying he’s “swapping his glory days for gory days”. Most fans are convinced it’s someone who has played for the Brisbane Lions as the clue package uses maroon and gold colours and hints that they have something to do with an iconic African animal.

The specific clue ‘A Footy Legend’ also appears to confirm it’s an AFL star based on the first letters, and social media users think it might be Jason Akermanis, Ben Hunt or Jonathan Brown.

Award-Winning Actress

The new season is set to feature a mega movie star who will “steal the spotlight in Africa”, with her clue reading: “This multi-award winning actress has had some massive roles, but will this be her biggest role yet?”

Many fans think the celebrity might be Sigrid Thornton, best known for her roles in The Man From Snowy River and All The Rivers Run, as the clue package features horses and a river. The 65-year-old has also won multiple awards, including two Logies and an AACTA.

Others have guessed Claudia Karvan, Jessica McNamee and Pia Miranda, who won Australian Survivor in 2019 and is rumoured to have turned down an appearance in Survivor: Australia v The World.

TV Host

Another star packing their bags for South Africa is a TV Host who is “no stranger to the fame game”, with the clue reading: “This TV host is trading the fame game for the fun and games of the jungle, and we think it’ll be a scream!”

Fans have guessed the TV Host heading into the jungle will be Georgia Love, Sonia Kruger or former MasterChef judge Melissa Leong - who has previously been tipped to join the new season.

An insider previously told Yahoo Lifestyle that Channel 10 likely won’t renew Dessert Masters for a third season next year due to low ratings, however, they “don’t want to lose their relationship” with the food critic and are hoping to cast her on another show.

“What has happened in the past with Channel 10’s ‘network talent’ after their flagship show gets cancelled is that they get offered a significant pay cheque to enter the jungle,” our source shared. “We saw that with Tristan McManus last year after Studio 10 was axed. He was reluctant but eventually agreed as the network promised him more work if he signed up for the reality show.”

Headline-Grabbing Olympian

The first celebrity Channel 10 teased is a Headline-Grabbing Olympian who is “no stranger to making headlines”, writing: “They’re a freestyle lover, but how much will they love being free with creepy crawlies when they land in the jungle?”

Viewers immediately took to social media to predict that the celebrity is none other than Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn, who broke the internet and became a household name thanks to her performance at the 2024 Olympics.

“I’m boycotting the show if it’s Raygun,” one person commented, while another added, “I will not watch if Raygun goes into the jungle”. A third remarked: “If Raygun is there, just vote her in for EVERY SINGLE tucker trial.”

A source close to production told Yahoo Lifestyle earlier this month that Raygun had changed her mind after previously announcing that she wouldn’t be appearing on reality TV anytime soon and was “very close to signing on”.

“Raygun is one name at the top of the list who bosses have been working on since she went viral,” they shared. “Initially Raygun’s team declined, but now she’s realising her window to make big money is quickly closing - and it’s unlikely she’ll ever get a six-figure sum to do a show ever again.”
