The penultimate episode of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! 2025 delivered a major upset, booting one of the favourites from the jungle just one day before the grand final.
Favourite Falls at Final Hurdle
After 22 gruelling days in camp, rapper Aitch was eliminated in Friday night's episode, missing out on a place in the last three. His departure means the final will be contested by social media sensation Angryginge, EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, and Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson.
Aitch revealed to his campmates he had a feeling his time was up. 'I told you last night. I was packing my bag and it was time to go,' he said upon his exit.
Viewer Outrage Over 'Daylight Robbery'
The elimination sent shockwaves through the show's fanbase, with many taking to social media to express their disbelief. The reaction on platform X was one of widespread surprise and disappointment.
'WHATTT HOW HAS AITCH COME FOURTH!?' wrote one viewer named Seema. Another, Dan, declared: 'I think I speak for the entire of the U.K. right now when I say Aitch, WTF!? I had him down to win I'm so shocked.'
Fans speculated that his popularity may have worked against him, with user Lauren suggesting: 'Everyone must have just thought he was safe without voting. Daylight robbery poor Aitch.'
Cyclone Chaos and Looking Ahead
Despite the shock exit, the episode was not short on the show's trademark chaotic challenges. The remaining four celebrities faced the legendary Celebrity Cyclone, which hosts Ant and Dec described as 'the world's most expensive slip and slide.'
Dressed in bright costumes, the finalists were pelted with water, slime, and exercise balls but ultimately triumphed, each winning a star. They were later treated to choc ices containing messages from home.
Looking back on his jungle journey, Aitch told Ant and Dec he was philosophical about leaving. 'I'm over the moon – those three are mega. This morning, I woke up and didn't care who was winning,' he said, before backing his friend for victory: 'That crown needs to come back to my hotel…so it needs to go to Ginge.'
The episode also featured a surprise double elimination earlier in the night, which saw Jack Osbourne and Lisa Riley leave the camp.
The I'm A Celebrity 2025 final airs on Sunday at 9pm on ITV1, where either Angryginge, Shona McGarty, or Tom Read Wilson will be crowned the new King or Queen of the Jungle.
