Jungle Crown Up for Grabs as Bookies Reveal Early Favourites
The race for the I'm A Celebrity 2025 crown has officially begun, with bookmakers already revealing their predictions for who might become the next King or Queen of the Jungle. The new series launched on Sunday night on ITV, plunging its famous contestants directly into the demanding environment of the Australian outback.
Meet the Frontrunners: Top Five Contestants to Watch
Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has installed YouTube sensation Angry Ginge as the 9/5 favourite to win the entire competition. The content creator, who boasts an impressive 897,000 YouTube subscribers and 1.3 million Twitch followers, is already causing a stir in camp. He found himself at the centre of a minor controversy when actress Ruby Wax told him to 'get out the way', sparking outrage among his Gen Z supporters.
In second place with odds of 10/3 is rapper Aitch. The Mancunian artist is reportedly the highest-paid campmate this year, commanding a fee of £250,000. Aitch has already revealed his main pre-show worry was his snoring potentially disturbing other celebrities, and he holds an advantage through his existing friendship with favourite Angry Ginge.
Completing the top three is Tom Read Wilson at 11/2. Best known as the charismatic receptionist on E4's Celebs Go Dating, the tipped late arrival has already captured audience attention. The question remains whether the singer-turned-reality star can convert this early impression into a victorious campaign for the King of the Jungle title.
Established Names and Soap Star Hope Chase the Leaders
Television personality Jack Osbourne has entered the competition as a strong contender with odds of 10/1. The son of music legends Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne has been open about dealing with his father's death earlier this year, creating emotional moments that have already resonated with viewers.
Tying with Osbourne at 10/1 is EastEnders icon Shona McGarty, who represents the only female contestant among the top frontrunners. Soap stars have a formidable history in reality television, with past I'm A Celeb winners including Joe Swash, Charlie Brooks, and Jacqueline Jossa, all benefiting from their dedicated fanbases.
The full list of contestants and their odds includes:
- Angry Ginge – 9/5
- Aitch – 10/3
- Tom Read Wilson – 11/2
- Jack Osbourne – 10/1
- Shona McGarty – 10/1

- Kelly Brook – 17/1
- Vogue Williams – 25/1
- Alex Scott – 33/1
- Lisa Riley – 33/1
- Eddie Kadi – 50/1
The diverse lineup features celebrities from various backgrounds, including radio personality Kelly Brook, legendary Lioness Alex Scott, and actor Martin Kemp. As the nation tunes in to watch friendships form, feuds develop, and celebrities confront their fears of wriggling insects, the betting odds will undoubtedly fluctuate with each dramatic episode.
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here continues to air at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
