A former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here star has issued a ‘guarantee’ about Eddie Kadi as he heads into the Australian jungle.
The comedian is among the ten famous faces set to take part in the ITV reality show this year when it returns on Sunday (November 16) at 9pm.
As well as Eddie, Model Kelly Brook, former England Lionesses footballer Alex Scott and TV personality Jack Osbourne are among the stars taking part in this year’s edition of the Ant and Dec-fronted show.
The I’m A Celeb 2025 line-up is completed by comedian Ruby Wax, Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley, social media star Morgan Burtwistle, who is known as Angryginge, actress Shona McGarty, singer Martin Kemp, and rapper Aitch.
While he’s already been seen skydiving onto an Australian beach as filming got underway this week, Eddie’s friend and Man Like You podcast co-host Babatunde Aleshe as hinted he might struggle with the tougher trials.
Speaking to The Sun, the comedian, who braved the jungle himself three years ago and cried ‘I’m A Celebrity.. GET ME OUT OF HERE’ in the first episode, said: “Eddie confessed to me how scared he is of the whole experience and I was shocked.

“I’m scared of frogs, snakes, spiders and thought Eddie was the brave one, but he confessed to me that he’s really, really scared of ALL the things.
“I’m going to be as surprised as everybody else about how he’s going to react to things. So I’m kind of looking forward to that. I’m recording every episode to watch back the screams.”
And while he doesn’t know exactly how his friend will handle the trials thrown at home, Babatunde has hailed Eddie’s personality – and the former Strictly Come Dancing star’s keenness to dance.
In his conversation with The Sun while launching BeStreamWise’s initiative to raise awareness of the dangers of illegal streaming, Babatúndé said: “Let me tell you something about Eddie. That guy lights up a room.
“He’s one of the most charming people I’ve ever met in my life. He will smile, he’ll dance, he’ll joke with every single person so he won’t have an issue or problem fitting in and getting along with everybody.
“Knowing Eddie he’s going to dance in the first 30 seconds of being in there. I guarantee you. I’ve actually got a bet on it with my wife. Within the first minute of him arriving you’re going to see his hips shaking, I just know it…”
