Ant and Dec have teased the the I’m a Celebrity line-up for 2025 in a new video on the ITV show’s official social media account.
It comes days after the debut trailer for the upcoming series, marking the programme’s 25th anniversary, which features Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly conducting a bushtucker trial-inspired Christmas feast, whilst confirming the fresh ITV series will commence on Sunday, November 16.
The minute-long preview shows the hosts gatecrashing a family’s festive celebrations to serve up dishes packed with ingredients typically featured in food challenges, where famous faces must consume revolting fare to secure stars for the campsite.
Ant declared: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year and it’s about to get even better with the news that the new series of I’m A Celebrity is just weeks away!”

In a fresh clip shared on the official Ant and Dec Instagram profile, they try to throw a pen into a mug and announce: “If we get the pen in the cup we’ll reveal the I’m A Celeb line-up.”
The duo then deliberately avoid the target, with Ant grabbing the pen from Dec’s grasp, reports the Mirror.
They wrote beneath the post: “Ah well, guess you’ll have to wait.”
Rumours are circulating about the fresh faces joining the series following a celebrity-packed cast last year.
Maura Higgins and Danny Jones were among last year’s campmates
The most recent series of the reality programme witnessed McFly’s Danny Jones being crowned jungle champion, with Coleen Rooney claiming the runner-up spot and Reverend Richard Coles securing third place.
Other celebrities participating in last year’s series included Coronation Street’s Alan Halsall, Loose Women and TikTok sensation GK Barry, former pugilist Barry McGuigan, choreographer Oti Mabuse and N-Dubz member Tulisa Contostavlos.
Speculation is mounting about which celebrities will exchange their creature comforts for the Australian wilderness this year. Television figure and model Christine McGuinness has added fuel to appearance rumours after admitting she’s embracing a more daring attitude this year.
At the Pride of Britain Awards, she remarked: “In the past I was never away from my children; I’d be frightened of the creepy crawlies; I have sensory issues. I have never been outside Europe so flying over there would be quite a challenge, but I’ve got a bit of ‘f*** it’.”
Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley has remained high on producers’ target lists – and she’s acknowledged the invitations continue arriving. She revealed to the Daily Star in 2023: “They ask me every year. They dangle that big carrot every year. I’ve always said ‘no’, but the older I get… I’m 47. I always go, ‘Corr, I’m getting old’.”

Television host and entertainer Denise Van Outen is similarly being suggested for a jungle adventure. A Ladbrokes representative informed Heart Radio: “It looks like the stars have finally aligned to give us Denise van Outback in 2025.
“With a new album in the autumn and a tour booked for the spring, there’s a glaring hole in her calendar that she could fill with a Bushtucker Trial or two.”
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! returns to ITV1 and ITVX on Sunday, November 16
