The eagerly anticipated line-up for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2025 has been officially confirmed, setting the stage for another dramatic series beginning this Sunday. While TikTok phenomenon Angry Ginge emerges as the bookies' favourite, a compelling dark horse is waiting in the wings, poised to capture the nation's heart.
The Front-Runner and The Favourites
This year's jungle is set to be dominated by social media star power, with Angry Ginge (real name Morgan Burtwistle) leading the pack. The 23-year-old boasts an astronomical following of more than two million on TikTok, where his faux-furious rants have cultivated a fiercely loyal fanbase. His position as the hot favourite to be crowned King of the Jungle mirrors the trajectory of previous social media stars like Grace Barry, who used the show to become a household name.
Hot on his heels in the betting are a trio of well-known faces: Tom Read Wilson from Celebs Go Dating, Manchester rapper Aitch, and music and television legend Martin Kemp from Spandau Ballet. All are considered strong contenders to take the title from last year's winner, McFly's Danny Jones.
The Prime Contender Everyone Is Underestimating
However, the most intriguing potential winner is being severely underestimated. That contestant is Vogue Williams, who is scheduled to enter the camp as the obligatory latecomer a day or two after the initial group. The 40-year-old mother of three has undergone a remarkable career transformation.
For years, she was primarily recognised as Brian McFadden's wife, a TV presenter with limited screen time, and was better known in Ireland than the UK. A controversial 2017 column, for which she apologised, seemed to have stalled her path to mainstream fame. Everything changed in 2021 with the launch of her podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me, which she co-hosts with comedian Joanne McNally.
Why Vogue Williams Could Clinch The Crown
The podcast is not just a success; it's a cultural movement. Its live shows, including a packed-out event at the London Palladium, generate a level of fervent adoration comparable to a world-class boyband. Williams and McNally have tapped into a massive, dedicated audience of listeners who feel a genuine, personal connection with them.
This loyal fanbase is prime I'm A Celebrity territory. While Martin Kemp is a beloved national treasure, and the other male front-runners have their own supporters, few can command the intensely engaged following that Vogue possesses. Many of her fans have stated they will be tuning into the show for the first time in years specifically to support her.
Her journey bears a striking resemblance to that of Vicky Pattison, who entered the jungle as a latecomer in 2015 and was transformed into one of the show's biggest success stories. In a stellar line-up that also includes Jack Osbourne, Ruby Wax, Alex Scott, and Kelly Brook, underestimating the impact of Vogue Williams would be a mistake. This could very well be the breakthrough moment that solidifies her status as a star in her own right.
