ITV's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here has already identified a clear frontrunner to be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle, even before the 2025 series officially begins. The initial batch of ten celebrities is set to enter the jungle camp on November 16, but bookmakers have already placed their bets on who they believe will triumph.
Jungle Favourite Emerges Before Campfire is Lit
According to data compiled by Oddschecker, a definitive early favourite has emerged from the lineup of campmates. This follows the pattern set in the previous series, where McFly's Danny Jones was crowned King of the Jungle in December after being the long-standing favourite throughout the competition. Jones had faced stiff competition from Coleen Rooney but ultimately secured his victory, adding to his win on The Masked Singer earlier that same year.
Breaking Down the 2025 Betting Odds
The complete list of early odds reveals who the bookmakers believe has the best chance of winning the public's vote. While these odds are likely to shift dramatically once the show begins and viewers see the celebrities in action, they provide a fascinating early snapshot.
Comedian Eddie Kadi currently finds himself with the longest odds to win the entire series. He is sitting at 66/1 to be crowned the winner, making him the least likely victor before a single Bushtucker Trial has been attempted.
Not far ahead of him is comedy legend and Girls on Top star Ruby Wax. She is given a 50/1 chance of winning via Oddschecker, placing her among the outsiders in this early stage of the competition.
Alex Scott, the former Lioness and Arsenal football star, is also not currently considered a top favourite. The sports presenter has been given odds of 20/1 to become the Queen of the Jungle, suggesting she has potential but is not the bookmakers' primary pick.
Shona McGarty, best known for her long-running role in EastEnders, enters the jungle with odds of 18/1. While more favoured than some of her fellow campmates, she is still not tipped as the most likely winner before the launch show.
What to Expect as the Series Kicks Off
The 25th series of the popular ITV reality show promises another round of gruelling trials, camp drama, and unexpected friendships. The initial odds provide a starting point for viewers, but the true test begins once the celebrities face their fears and the British public starts voting. The journey to find the next King or Queen of the Jungle starts now, with all bets on for a dramatic and entertaining series.
