The popular reality show, I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, is set to return this Sunday, November 16, 2025. Ant and Dec will host the 25th season of this exciting series. Fans can tune in to the first episode at 9 PM on ITV1, which will run for 95 minutes.

Significant Rule Change for Campmates

This season, the series will introduce a notable rule change that alters how contestants can participate in the Bushtucker trials. In a push to diversify the experience for viewers, participants will be limited to two consecutive trials. This new guideline aims to give more celebrities the chance to engage in the challenges and, consequently, showcase their personalities.

Reasons Behind the Change

Last year, Dean McCullough notably participated in seven trials, which drew viewer frustration.
Nigel Farage from the 2023 season previously highlighted that trial participants received 25% of the airtime.
The rule change is designed to enhance viewership experiences by reducing repetitive trial participation.

Under the new rules, if a celebrity is elected for two consecutive trials, they will be off the voting list for a third day. This system allows for a reset that enables contestants to be voted again after a break.

The Star-Studded Line-Up

This year’s lineup includes various well-known figures from different entertainment sectors. Notable contestants are:

Lisa Riley (Emmerdale)
Morgan Burtwistle (YouTuber, Angry Ginge)
Shona McGarty (EastEnders)
Ruby Wax (comedian)
Alex Scott (TV presenter)
Jack Osbourne

Producers aim to make this milestone 25th series truly memorable, with enhancements based on feedback from past participants. Many have suggested that trials should be more fairly distributed among contestants, ensuring diverse representation.

Historical Context of Trials

Over the years, numerous contestants have participated in multiple Bushtucker trials. Some notable instances include:

Adam Thomas – 12 trials in 2016
Scarlett Moffat – 10 trials in 2016
Jacqueline Jossa – 10 trials in 2019
Helen Flanagan – 7 trials in 2012

As excitement builds ahead of the season launch, the changes promise not only to enhance viewer engagement but also to give a broader range of personalities a chance to shine. Fans of I’m A Celebrity will be eager to see how this fresh format plays out in the latest adventure.
