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
- Star of the Silver Screen
- Matinee Idol
- Leading Lady
- Sporting Hero
- Chart-Topper
- Comedy Genius

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 also 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.”
Star of the Silver Screen
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.
Matinee Idol
Australian actor and television host Rob Mills is reportedly in discussions to appear on I’m A Celebrity next year!
Fans believe he could be a good fit for the ‘Matinee Idol’ contestant thanks to his stage and musical theatre experience.
Leading Lady
There has been speculation that Australian actress and model Nicky Whelan could be heading into the jungle in 2025.
The former Neighbours star recently moved back home to Melbourne following 18 years in Hollywood, prompting speculation she could be appearing on I’m A Celebrity next year.
Chart-Topper
As for the ‘Chart-Topper,’ fans have speculated that Samantha Jade could be entering the jungle.
Considering she recently finished a stint on Dancing With The Stars, viewers wouldn’t be surprised to see her appear on another Aussie reality show.
Australian singer Sheldon Riley has also been rumoured to be the ‘Chart-Topper’.
Comedy Genius
Australia has no shortage of successful comedians, so there have been multiple names thrown around for this contestant clue.
Celeste Barber, Carl Barron and Aaron Chen have all been mentioned by fans speculating on social media.
Sporting Hero
Many have predicted four-time Olympian Jess Fox could be the ‘Sporting Hero’ on I’m A Celebrity in 2025.
Coming off the back of her wildly successful year, viewers said they wouldn’t be surprised to see the canoeist enter the jungle.
Football Strongman
A ‘Footy Legend’ will be competing on I’m A Celebrity next year, with former winner Brendan Fevola revealed who he thinks could be entering the jungle.
The 2016 champion predicted that we could see AFLW star Tayla Harris, ex-Socceroo Robbie Slater, and NRL legend Willy Mason. However, the contestant clue read “he,” ruling out Tayla.
