London-born comedian and entertainer Eddie Kadi is trading his microphone for mosquito repellent as he enters the Australian jungle for I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here 2025.
The popular ITV reality series celebrates its 25th season this year, with Kadi joining other celebrities facing bushtucker trials and campfire conversations.
From London to the Limelight: Eddie Kadi's Career
While some viewers might not immediately recognise his name, Eddie Kadi has been a prominent figure on the British entertainment scene for nearly two decades.
His career breakthrough came in 2006 when he won the BECA Award for Best Comedy Newcomer, launching him into the spotlight.
Kadi's comedy credentials are impressive - he made history in 2010 by becoming the first black British comedian to headline London's O2 Arena.
His international profile grew when he performed alongside music legend Lauryn Hill at New York's prestigious Radio City Music Hall in 2017.
Beyond the Comedy Circuit: Radio and Television Work
Eddie Kadi's talents extend far beyond stand-up comedy. Television audiences will remember him from Strictly Come Dancing in 2023, where he competed in series 21 before being eliminated in fourth place.
On radio, he hosts BBC Radio 1Xtra's Official UK Afrobeats Chart Show, bringing the latest afrobeats hits to listeners nationwide.
He's also a regular panellist on BBC Radio 5 Live's sports comedy programme Fighting Talk, where he showcases his quick wit and sporting knowledge.
What to Expect from Kadi in the Jungle
As Eddie Kadi prepares to leave behind home comforts for jungle life, fans can expect his trademark humour and charismatic personality to shine through the challenges.
His experience in live performance and broadcasting suggests he'll be comfortable with the constant cameras and campmate interactions.
The 2025 season of I'm a Celebrity promises to be particularly special as the show marks its quarter-century milestone.
Viewers can watch Eddie Kadi's jungle journey when the new series launches on ITV this winter, where he'll attempt to survive everything the Australian wilderness throws at him.
