With the news of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia being renewed for 2025, there have already been rumours swirling of the potential celebrity line-up.
The teaser trailer for next year’s season revealed contestant clues that have viewers already guessing who could be appearing on our screens.
The contestant clues for the 2025 season include:
- Headline-Grabbing Olympian
- TV Host
- Movie Star
- Footy Legend
- Comedy King
- AFL Star
- Romantic Leading Man
- Spicy Reality Star
- Reality Royalty
- Influencer With A Taste For Love
- English TikToker
- Stand-Up Comedian
A source told New Idea that co-host Robert Irwin’s famous connections could be great for the show, as he may be able to convince some big-name celebrities to join the cast of I’m A Celebrity in 2025.
“Robert has travelled the world and the Irwins have more A-list celebrity phone numbers than Kris Jenner,” a source at Network 10 told the publication. The insider added that he is “more connected than people realise.”
So, here’s who has been rumoured to enter the South African jungle next year.
Headline-Grabbing Olympian
Viral Olympic break-dancer Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn is tipped to be appearing on the reality show next year, as one of the contestant clues is ‘Headline-Grabbing Olympian’.
“They’re a freestyle lover, but how much will they love being free with creepy crawlies when they land in the jungle?,” the contestant clue said.
A production insider previously told Yahoo Lifestyle that Raygun is “very close” to signing on.
“Raygun is one name at the top of the list who bosses have been working on since she went viral,” the source shared. “Initially Raygun’s team declined, but now she’s realising her window to make big money is quickly closing – and it’s unlikely she’ll ever get a six-figure sum to do a show ever again.”
TV Host
A separate source also revealed to Yahoo Lifestyle that former MasterChef Australia judge, and current Dessert Masters host, Melissa Leong is in talks to enter the South African jungle in 2025.
The insider revealed that Dessert Masters is likely not to get renewed for a third season, but Ten still wants to maintain a relationship with Melissa.
“What has happened in the past with Channel 10’s ‘network talent’ after their flagship show gets cancelled is that they get offered a significant pay cheque to enter the jungle,” the source told the publication.
“We saw that with Tristan McManus last year after Studio 10 was axed. He was reluctant but eventually agreed as the network promised him more work if he signed up for the reality show.”
However, the I’m A Celebrity Instagram page released a teaser video for the ‘TV Host’ clue, and although her face was covered and her voice altered, her unique and recognisable engagement ring gave away who the person is.
It appears that Nicky Buckley, known for co-hosting Perfect Match in the early 1990s, will be part of the 2025 cast.
Movie Star
Rumours have swirled that Robert may be able to recruit the likes of Melissa Joan Hart from Sabrina the Teenage Witch, as he allegedly reached out to her last year but she wasn’t able to make the scheduling work.
“Maybe he can work his magic this time. Melissa is a good retro name,” the source shared. “Ten will get their chequebook out for one or two big names but that’s where the budget will get blown.”
On their official Instagram page, I’m A Celebrity teased that they were a ‘Mega Movie Star’, which had many people guessing it could be Australian actress Sigrid Thornton too.
Footy Legend
A ‘Footy Legend’ will be competing on I’m A Celebrity next year, and former winner Brendan Fevola has revealed who he thinks could be entering the jungle. The 2016 champion predicted that we could see former NRL player Willy Mason.
Meanwhile, fans took to the comments to share their own guesses, with Mat Rogers another name that was mentioned.
Comedy King
Australia has no shortage of successful comedians, so there have been multiple names thrown around for this contestant clue.
The I’m A Celeb Instagram page teased that this ‘Comedy King’ is one of the nation’s “most famous funny guys,” prompting fans to leave their guesses in the comments.
Carl Barron, Glenn Robbins, Aaron Chen and Dave Hughes have all been mentioned by fans speculating on social media.
AFL Star
Brendan Fevola also guessed that AFLW star Tayla Harris could be entering the jungle in 2025, while others suggested it could be Ben Cousins or Joe Daniher.
Ben Cousins recently appeared on Dancing With The Stars so could he be interested in doing another reality show?
Romantic Leading Man
Channel 10 teased a “smooth-talking” ‘Romantic Leading Man’, which lead many to speculate a former Love Island or The Bachelor star could be heading to South Africa. While many fans guessed Locklan Gilbert, Osher Gunsberg, or Dr. Matt Agnew, the network has confirmed the ‘Leading Man’ is none other than Matty J!
Matty J was the first celebrity identity to be revealed for I’m A Celebrity 2025.
Spicy Reality Star
A divisive former contestant of an unknown reality show is set to shake things up in the camp next year.
Many fans have speculated it could be someone from Australian Survivor, Aussie Shore or Married At First Sight.
According to Yahoo! Lifestyle, controversial MAFS contestant Harrison Boon could be the spicy reality star in question.
“Channel 10 wants the show to go back to being talked about in every office across Australia every morning, with huge personalities clashing in every episode,” a source told the publication.
“Harrison may not be the biggest name, but his views on women and feminism will infuriate people across the country and generate discussion — and they need a villain.”
Reality Royalty
‘Reality Royalty’ is heading into the jungle in 2025. Australia has no shortage of reality stars, meaning the options are virtually endless for who could be this elusive person.
However, one person commented, “If she’s conquered a house… that means she’s a Big Brother contestant, and if she’s royalty that means she’s won a season. There’s Reggie, Tay, Ari, Aleisha, or Terri, all of them have won before. But Reggie has won twice, so I feel like her chances are higher than the others.”
Could Reggie Sorensen (nee Bird) be appearing on I’m A Celeb?
Influencer With A Taste For Love
An ‘Influencer With A Taste For Love’ has been confirmed to be heading to South Africa, and there’s only one name on people’s lips for this contestant: Jessika Power.
The reality star-turned influencer has appeared on Married At First Sight, Celebrity Ex On The Beach, Celebs Go Dating and Big Brother VIP. Will she add another reality show to her resume?
English TikToker
Channel 10 has teased that an ‘English TikToker’ will be joining the show next year, which has had fans flocking to the comment section to name a variety of their favourite British influencers.
Names that have been thrown around include Amelia Dimoldenberg, Maddie Grace Jepson, Max Balegde and even Grace “GK” Barry, who recently appeared on the English version of I’m A Celebrity.
Stand-Up Comedian
Another comedian will be entering the jungle in 2025, with the network teasing a stand-up specialist with a hit show. They also alluded to the comedian being a woman.
This has prompted fans to suggest Celeste Barber, Celia Pacquola or Melanie Bracewell could be the person in question.
