I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! fans now have only days to wait until the return of the beloved show. It was confirmed on Saturday November 1 that the hit ITV jungle show will be returning later this month for its 25th season.
In a new teaser, iconic duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly shared the exciting news in a Christmas style trailer as they announced the start date. Dressed in matching I’m A Celebrity style Christmas jumpers, with patterns of spiders, bugs and gold stars, the hosts teased that the return of the jungle series can only mean one thing – the festive period is also officially on the way too.
Ant says: “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!” While Dec adds: “Yes, it’s time to Ant and Dec(k) the halls and clear your diaries, because we’re coming back to your screens on 16th November!”

The official I’m A Celebrity.. Get Me Out of Here! 2025 line-up is yet to be announced.
However, big names such as Love Island’s Tommy Fury, Wayne Rooney and Denise Van Outen are all in the rumour mill so far. Other speculated stars include Emmerdale favourite Lisa Riley, social media star Angry Ginge and Jamie Oliver’s wife, Jools.
It’s also been announced that the spin-off show, Unpacked, will be back with comedian Joel Dommett and presenter Kemi Rodgers reprising their hosting roles.
Fans can watch as they explore the behind-the-scenes secrets, exclusive interviews, unseen clips and rare insights into Bushtucker Trials.
A post uploaded by the official I’m A Celebrity Instagram account announced: “Joel Dommett and Kemi Rodgers return as your I’m A Celebrity… Unpacked dream team. Join them and their celebrity guests every night on ITV2 to unpack the madness!”
Sam Thompson, who won the King of the Jungle title in 2023, was a main presenter on Unpacked’s debut series last year, but it seems that he will only be appearing for several episodes this year.
It’s a big year for the hit programme as I’m A Celebrity marks its 25th anniversary with the upcoming series.
The celebrations will seemingly continue into 2026 as the show will launch its second instalment of I’m a Celebrity…All Stars next year.
The spin off show first debuted in 2023 and is now returning after three years.
The rumoured line up includes Gemma Collins, Harry Redknapp and Scarlett Moffatt.
