One I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! campmate has been hit with a devastating blow already.
10 famous faces have signed up for the gruelling ITV reality show, which kicks off tonight (November 16) but there can only be one winner.
Shona McGarty, Eddie Kadi, Aitch, Alex Scott MBE, Jack Osbourne, Lisa Riley, Kelly Brook, Angry Ginge, Ruby Wax OBE and Martin Kemp are all swapping their life of luxuries for camp life in an Australian jungle.
As usual, it is likely that they will be joined by some late arrivals with Irish TV personality Vogue Williams and Celebs Go Dating receptionist Tom Read Wilson rumoured to be flying out to Oz in the coming days.
Ozzy Osbourne’s son Jack and content creator Angry Ginge, real name Morgan Burtwhistle, are the most popular names to win this year’s I’m A Celeb, according to Ladbrokes.

The bookies have revealed exactly where the money has gone so far, and while clear 7/4 favourite Angry Ginge is unsurprisingly leading the way in the popularity charts, having been the subject of 19.6% of all bets placed so far.
Jack is close behind in terms of bets placed with 18.8% of the backing, while former Spandau Ballet singer Martin Kemp makes up the podium spots at 14.9%.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Angry Ginge is clearly the one to beat Down Under – he’s got the backing of punters up to this point, but Jack Osbourne’s popularity may well surprise a few ahead of the series opener.”
Meanwhile, at the other end of the scale, comedian Eddie Kadi is tipped at just 50/1.
I’m a Celebrity is not Eddie’s first reality show appearance as he previously took part in the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2023.

He danced alongside professional partner Karen Hauer where they were the fourth couple to leave the competition.
Eddie is known for his radio presenting work for the BBC. Most notably, BBC 1Extra’s Official UK Afrobeats Charts Show and BBC Radio 5 Live’s sports comedy panel show Fighting Talk. In 2010, he performed at the O2 arena as part of his comedy tour and has since then performed all around the world.
Eddie Kadi admitted it was an “immediate yes” when he was asked to take part in I’m a Celebrity as he wants to make his daughter proud.
“Raising a daughter is a beautiful thing and my daughter is extremely excited. It’s going to be a story for her every single day.
“And if I were to be crowned ‘King of the Jungle’, my daughter would be the proudest daughter in the world,” he said.
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! airs at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
