The launch of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 2025 served up an unexpected helping of chaos that has viewers absolutely thrilled. The first episode of the ITV reality show, which aired on Sunday, November 16, 2025, revealed a camp full of celebrities with a startlingly common problem: a complete lack of culinary skills.
Culinary Catastrophe Strikes the Camp
After months of intense speculation, the new lineup of campmates finally entered the Australian jungle. The group includes a diverse mix of talent such as comedian Ruby Wax, model and presenter Kelly Brook, rapper Aitch, YouTuber Angry Ginge, and Jack Osbourne. The celebrities successfully won six stars in their first bush tucker trial, earning them a food hamper. However, their triumph was short-lived when the reward was revealed to be an emu neck.
The camp's disappointment was palpable. Kelly Brook could barely hide her dismay, while Shona McGarty, the EastEnders star, vented to the camera, complaining, 'It's not even the good bit of the bird.' The situation escalated when Jack Osbourne, the 40-year-old son of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, posed a crucial question to the group: 'Wait, hold on. Who can cook?'
He was met with a wall of blank stares and utter silence, a moment so awkward that Angry Ginge dryly remarked, 'Wow that silence was loud.' Shona McGarty eventually tentatively raised her hand, leading Jack to explain to viewers, 'It appears I am the only one that has any amount of cooking experience which is shocking to me.' Shona reluctantly took on the role of head chef, and despite the emu neck being described as 'chewy', several celebrities admitted it was 'actually alright'.
Viewers React to the Jungle Drama
The moment of culinary incompetence did not go unnoticed by the show's dedicated audience. Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) erupted with reactions as fans celebrated the potential for hilarious mishaps.
One user, @superTV247, perfectly captured the mood, writing: 'A camp where nobody can cook? We have struck gold #ImACeleb.' Another, @__Haleemaa, posted a fitting image of a tumbleweed blowing across a deserted landscape in response to Jack's question. Meanwhile, @PatelBropodcast commented, 'Only 1 celebrity knows how to cook… these guys live in in la la land ImACeleb.'
Humidity Puts Medics on Alert
While the cooking crisis provided the comedy, a more serious issue is developing in the jungle. Reports indicate that I'm A Celeb medics have been put 'on red alert' due to dangerous levels of humidity. On Sunday, humidity levels reportedly soared to 90%, which is a significant 20% higher than the average for this time of year. Show bosses are closely monitoring the situation to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all the celebrities.
I'm A Celebrity continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
