What is the full line‑up of I’m a Celebrity 2025?

Eleven names appear in the series, though only 10 started on day one – Tom Read Wilson entered later as a late addition. The ITV launch video confirmed the original ten. Below is a profile of each star.

Positions for those not in the final three are based on elimination order as reported by Cosmopolitan UK.

The pattern

The cast skewed heavily towards TV and music personalities – only Alex Scott and Kelly Brook brought sports and modelling backgrounds. That mix paid off: two of the top three had strong pre‑show social media followings, a modern advantage in a voting‑based show.

What this means: the modern voting demographic favors online personalities.

Who has been eliminated from I’m a Celebrity 2025?

The elimination order, confirmed by Cosmopolitan UK and the ITV launch video, ran as follows:

Who won I’m a Celebrity 2025?

  • Winner: Angry Ginge
  • Runner‑up: Tom Read Wilson
  • Third place: Shona McGarty

Ginge’s win was the culmination of a series that began with 10 contestants on 16 November (ITV launch video).

The catch

While Angry Ginge’s win was widely expected by mid‑series, the late entry of Tom Read Wilson reshaped the final race – Wilson finished second despite joining several days into the competition, a rare feat that underscores the advantage of charisma over tenure.

The implication: late entries can still compete for the top spot.

When did I’m a Celebrity 2025 start?

The series premiered on Sunday 16 November 2025 at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX, and STV (ITV launch video). The final aired on 7 December 2025, with Shona McGarty eliminated third, followed by Tom Read Wilson as runner‑up and Angry Ginge as winner.
