The 25th series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! launches this Sunday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with 10 celebrities heading into the Australian jungle. Reported salaries range from £75,000 to £250,000, according to The Sun, with Brit Award-winning rapper Aitch topping the list at £250,000.
The lineup features Jack Osbourne (£200,000), Alex Scott (£100,000+), YouTuber Angry Ginge (£100,000), Ruby Wax (£95,000), Lisa Riley (£95,000), Martin Kemp (£95,000), Shona McGarty (£95,000), Kelly Brook (£80,000), and comedian Eddie Kadi (£75,000). ITV does not officially disclose contestant fees.
Toughest Series Yet
Executive producer Olly Nash told The Daily Mail this will be the show's most demanding year. «We need to see more celebrities earning their keep, that's the most important thing,» he said. «Last year, we had a great positive happy cast that all joined together and had a happy time. This year they are going to have to fight more, earn more and play a bigger part in camp.»
Producers have introduced a new rule: contestants can only participate in two consecutive Bushtucker Trials before becoming exempt from the next public vote. The change follows viewer complaints about repeated trial selections. Luxury items have been removed, and a new "Getaway Car" feature rewards the first celebrities completing launch challenges with comfortable beds while others travel in a basic van.
Veteran's Warning
Former contestant Peter Andre, who appeared in 2004, offered advice on Good Morning Britain. «If people have done the dreaded thing which I always tell them never to do, it's to keep eating so much before you go in,» the 52-year-old said. «Because you think, 'I'm not going to eat so I may as well stock up,' but the problem is then your body goes into shock. So it's actually better to get your body used to it.»
Martin Kemp told fellow Greatest Hits Radio presenter Kate Thornton he was excited to follow his son Roman, who finished third in 2019. «When I was thinking about doing it, the first person I called was Roman,» Kemp said. «I asked him what he thought and he told me I had to do it. He said me telling him I was going in made him jealous because he knew how much fun I was going to have.»
