There are just a matter of days before I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here will be back on your screens after the official start date of the new series was confirmed.

The hit ITV reality show will be back later this month with a new bunch of celebrities swapping their lives of luxury for up to three weeks in a camp Down Under.

The first trailer for the 2025 edition, which is the shows 25th series, shows hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly seen serving a bushtucker trial-style Christmas dinner, as they confirm the new series will start on Sunday, November 16.

The 60-second teaser sees the Geordie duo interrupt a family’s festivities to offer up plates filled with items often seen during food challenges where celebrities have to eat gruesome food to win stars for camp.

The presenting pair don matching Christmas jumpers adorned with patterns of spiders, bugs and the gold stars that have long been synonymous with the show. The family look gleeful as they are showered with maggots and other bugs after opening their Christmas crackers.
