The grand final of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is on its way, with three campmates confirmed to duke it out for the title of King or Queen of the Jungle.

Despite speculation that this series would end with an all-male final, it was rapper Aitch who stumbled at the last hurdle on Saturday night, with viewers giving him the least votes and sending him home.

This meant that TikTok star Angryginge, actor Shona McGarty and Celebs Go Dating host Tom Read Wilson are this year’s finalists.

As he left camp, Aitch told his campmates that he predicted that he wouldn’t make the final and saw his departure coming. Speaking to hosts Ant and Dec in his exit interview later, Aitch said that he adored his fellow celebrities. “They’ve all been a good laugh, they’ve all been good people, and all are unique in their own way,” he explained, while adding that he wanted his jungle BFF and fellow Mancunian Ginge to take the win.

Also on Saturday’s episode, the campmates successfully bagged four stars after taking part in the show’s infamous Celebrity Cyclone challenge, while they later feasted on wallaby meat.

I’m a Celebrity concludes on Sunday at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.

Key Points

  • Aitch is the shock ninth eliminated star!
  • The campmates win four stars in the infamous Celebrity Cyclone challenge
  • Rats have visited the camp!
  • Jack Osbourne and Lisa Riley become seventh and eighth evictees
  • Who will win the show?

Last month, our writer Rachel McGrath wrote an insightful piece about the state of I’m a Celebrity’s celebrity line-up, and whether the show can sustain its importance in an era of Celebrity Traitors. Give it a read!

Remember Alex Scott’s relatively short time on the show this series? Well she’s since come out and said that she found her “edit” slightly disappointing, and had hoped ITV would have shown more of her “fun stuff” while she was still in the jungle...

As we head into the finale, anyone remember when Tom Read Wilson showed off his “real” voice earlier in the series?

04:00 , Adam White

With Aitch now eliminated from the show, it’s worth resurfacing the old rumour that he was actually (and somewhat surprisingly) the highest-paid campmate on I’m a Celeb this year. At least according to a “leak” of the stars’ fees last month...

03:00 , Adam White

Was it a bit of an oversight for Ant and Dec not to ask Aitch about his slight flirtation with Shona in the jungle? Venture onto social media and you’ll find a raft of people insisting they get together. That said, was it all a bit more hot air than hot chemistry?

image is not available 02:00 , Adam White

Fancy knowing who’s currently predicted to take home the title of King or Queen of the Jungle this year? Bookies seem to be favouring Angryginge for the title, which wouldn’t come as an enormous surprise based on the history of I’m a Celeb...

01:00 , Adam White

There’s also a lot of love for fallen campmate Ruby Wax, who was arguably booted off the show a tad early. She did at least provide us with jokes and a degree of tension in the camp, whereas our three finalists have generally plodded through the series carried by general niceness...

00:00 , Adam White

So fans don’t seem to be thrilled with the results of tonight’s semi-final, with many taking to X to mourn the demise of Aitch and Ginge as a duo...

23:00 , Adam White

So, as the sun sets on another evening in camp, let’s reiterate who’s in the running for pole position tomorrow night...

Angryginge!

Shona McGarty!

Tom Read Wilson!

All three will fight it out for the title of King or Queen of the Jungle, in the process rescuing us from what seemed likely to be at one point an all-male final.

Asked to say who he wants to win, Aitch backs Ginge.

“I love Shona to death,” he says. “If she gets it, she more than deserves it. Same with Tom, what a legend he is. That said, that crown needs to be taken back to my hometown, so I pick Ginge.”

Aitch says he’s not worried about being exposed for stealing sweets in the series recently.

image is not available 22:11 , Adam White

“They’ve all been a good laugh, they’ve all been good people, and all unique in their own way,” Aitch tells Ant and Dec.

22:08 , Adam White

And here he is! This is very unexpected, isn’t it?

“I’m over the moon,” he tells Ant and Dec. “Those three are mega!”

image is not available 22:06 , Adam White

And our ninth eliminated contestant is...

AITCH!!

Unexpected!

22:05 , Adam White

And we’re back! With Ant and Dec stepping into camp to announce our three finalists!

22:02 , Adam White

Just one more ad break until elimination!

22:00 , Adam White

This has generally been quite a nicey-nice series hasn’t it? No real tension, or in-fighting, as much as everyone tried to make a Kelly Brook face-off happen. As the final four eat dinner, they bond and share their feelings. Ginge talks up his love for Tom despite their differences in background. Aitch admits to being insecure at points on the show, and happy that he stuck it out. Shona echoes those feelings, and says she’s most enjoyed being able to be herself. Then she starts to cry.

“I’m proud of myself,” Ginge says. “I’ve made my mum proud, and my family, more than anything.”

Winner’s edit?

image is not available 21:57 , Adam White

And we’re back from the ads again and so close to tonight’s elimination, but first we must watch Angryginge play with a stick insect. And then the campmates have dinner, led by wallaby ‘wings’, which just sounds a bit grim, doesn’t it?

21:47 , Adam White

Right, I don’t want to be too negative, but gosh this is a bit dull tonight isn’t it? So the campmates have now got their choc ices, only to discover that the choc ice sticks have some secret messages written on them.

Ginge’s message is a football score, Aitch gets told his friend has a girlfriend (?), Shona is told who won Drag Race (??), and Tom is told that his nephew won “Star of the Week” at school. Sure!

image is not available 21:44 , Adam White

And we’re back from the ads, and the start of a new challenge. This one, called “Bright Ideas”, sees the campmates wearing helmets with light bulbs on them. This is a bit vague, but someone needs to say something, someone needs to touch something, someone needs to do something and someone needs to be somewhere. And all four campmates need to figure out which one of them has to do which thing. If all four bulbs are turned on at once, they win some choc ices.

Could this be... the very worst task in the history of I’m a Celebrity? It might just be! Proper “end of series, let’s go to the pub” vibes from the producers, ain’t it?

image is not available 21:36 , Adam White

The campmates are currently sitting around discussing which superpower they’d love to have. Tom wants “transmogrification powers”, meaning an ability to transform whatever he wants in the moment. Shona would like freezing powers for some reason, Aitch wants to have slo-motion powers (what is wrong with these people?), and Ginge wishes to have invisibility. Believe Martin Kemp had that power, Ginge!

Snore! Where have the rats gone?

21:30 , Adam White

And we’re done! Our four very wet celebs congregate to chat all things cyclone.

“A jet stream was between my head and my gusset,” Tom says. Tom to win! No more boring winners, ITV!

The stars got four stars total, which means four meals total. Good for them!

image is not available 21:25 , Adam White

Angryginge is currently being pelted with water and giant balls while a ghastly Oasis cover plays in the background, in case you’ve migrated away from the TV.

image is not available 21:24 , Adam White

So this does look quite fun, doesn’t it? Tom and Shona are up first, battling the elements to pick up stars...

image is not available 21:16 , Adam White

So, for those of you reading who aren’t aware of Celebrity Cyclone, it involves our campmates dressing up as superheroes and asked to navigate around an elaborate obstacle course that’s sort of a meaner version of Total Wipeout. Floors are slippy, a revolving platform sends them spinning, and a cyclone machine will pelt them with water, inflatable balls, and so forth. Telly!

image is not available 21:12 , Adam White

“I’m gassed!” yelps Aitch as it’s announced that all four remaining campmates will take part in Celebrity Cyclone, I’m a Celeb’s most popular task.

“Oh, my sainted Aunt Fanny,” says Tom, inexplicably.

21:09 , Adam White

And our final four are left to mourn the loss of Jack and Lisa. Ginge in particular can’t believe he’s made the final, which suggests he has never watched an ITV reality show before in his life.

image is not available 21:07 , Adam White

Ugh, so we kick off with rats! Those wonderful little creatures have invaded camp. We’ve also gone back in time a little, for Lisa and Jack’s final hours before shuffling off this mortal (I’m a Celeb jungle) coil.

“I feel fresh and alive and ready for whatever anyone throws at me today,” Lisa says, in words that shriek “doomed”.

“We cannot predict who’s gonna leave,” Jack adds. Foreshadowing!

20:51 , Adam White

Hello I’m a Celebrity devotees! We’re just 10 minutes away from tonight’s semi-final, which will see our stars taking part in the notorious Celebrity Cyclone, and one of them fall at the last hurdle and miss out on tomorrow night’s finale. Who will it be? (It’ll be Shona, won’t it?)

Who will be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle?

20:30 , Jacob Stolworthy

It’s still all to play for when it comes to the remaining celebs...

The betting odds have been shifting with each new episode, but Aitch and Angryginge have been repeatedly in a tussle for the top spot since the first week.

You can check out a rolling list of odds below:

Shona's family give seal of approval

20:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

It seems Shona’s family members are supportive of a possible romance with rapper Aitch, singing his praises during their reunion in last night’s episode.

I’m gonna throw it out there and assume the former EastEnders star’s sister is a fan of his music.

Tom had one question for his mum

19:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

The maudlin music kicked in when the campmates were emotionally shown catching up with their family members. In Tom Read Wilson’s reunion, the Celebs Go Dating star sweetly asked his mum: “How is granny?” Correct priorities.

Ginge catches up with family

18:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

Scenes from last night’s episode saw Ginge catch up with his mum and sister.

Naturally, he asked for the football scores.

Aitch is visited by his sisters

16:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

ICYMI, last night’s sweetest moment arrived when Aitchg was visited by two sisters, one of whom has Down’s syndrome.

The rapper made it clear he wanted to go on the show to spread awareness about the condition – and it was wonderful to see how much she adores her bro.

“We've missed you so much!” she told a visibly emotional Aitch.

'Democracy at last'

15:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

A new era of 'democracy' has dawned in the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! camp following a shake-up in the jungle.

Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson declared "democracy at last" after it was revealed there will be no more leaders in the camp.

Ginge celebrates 25 years of I'm a Celebrity

14:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

The latest Bushtucker trial was designed to mark the reality juggernaut’s 25th year on air. Ironic, then, that the contestant who undertook the trial wasn’t even born when the show premiered.

Angryginge, 24, won six out of six stars after being slathered in guts and intestines. A birthday cake might have sufficed...

Jack reflects on dad Ozzy's passing

13:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

ICYMI, in his exit interview, Jack told Ant and Dec “it was nice to unplug” months on for the death of his musician father.

He added that he enjoyed having “space and no distraction from the outside world”. That should quiet those critics who argued it was too soon for the grieving reality star to be on the show.

Who will win the show?

13:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

According to bookies, it’s a two-horse race between Aitch and Ginge – but I think Tom Read Wilson is a dark horse.

This would, of course, mean that tonight, Shona McGarty would go home.

Waith just one day to go until a new winner is crowned, why not check in on how the bookies think the episode will play out? Save for Ruby Wax’s premature departure, they have largely been right throughout the series...

Lisa calls show 'basket of bliss'

11:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

...which isn’t how you’d expect someone to describe an experience where you’ve been covered in guts and forced to scoff down gruesome cocktails live on air. But, for Lisa, she “embraced the juvenile” and made friends for life.

“Life’s too short to sit in a bog of doom,” she told hosts Ant and Dec. “You never know how long you have left.”

Celebrity Cyclone!

10:30 , Jacob Stolworthy

Tonight’s episode being the penultimate instalment of the series can only mean one thing: it’s time for the annual fan favourite trial, Celebrity Cyclone.

Catch a preview below:

Who do Jack and Lisa want to win?

10:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

In his exit interview, Jack threw his support behind Tom Read Wilson, while Lisa Riley tipped YouTuber Angryginge for the win.

I’m pretty certain they’ll finish top three alongside Aitch.

Double eviction drama

09:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

Lisa Riley and Jack Osbourne missed out on a chance to be this year’s Queen or King of the jungle after being eliminated in last night’s episode.

The news came as quite a shock to both of them as they had no idea two people were leaving!

08:00 , Adam White

So there seems to be a mixed response on X to the possible romance between Aitch and Shona, with some entirely taken with the idea of it, and others a bit more cynical.

Others, though, can’t help it’s a bit of a showmance...

07:00 , Adam White

In case you missed it, last night’s episode saw Jack Osbourne and Lisa Riley eliminated from the camp, with their fellow campmates reacting with shock to what they hadn’t realised was a double elimination...

That rumoured feud between Vogue Williams and Kelly Brook? (By the way, why is Kelly Brook always, at least according to the tabloids, feuding with someone or other?) Anyway, any tension between the pair seems to have been put to bed. At least if this initially tense but then very funny scene of their reunion suggests...

05:00 , Adam White

Has ITV made a quality investment when it came to this year’s stars? Considering Aitch is predicted to win the show, and allegedly took home the series’s biggest paycheque (really!), I imagine ITV will be pleased.

Check out the alleged list of celebrity salaries below...

Another post-exit revelation involved Vogue Williams’s mystery knee injury, which seemed to crop up overnight. Speaking to Ant and Dec, she revealed it was all came about due to some downtime silliness in the camp...

And in another post-exit bombshell, Martin Kemp, aka the most fascinating of this year’s campmates, admitted that he wished to purchase a Japanese toilet in the aftermath of his exit.

See, where was this wonderful oddness in the camp, Martin?

So one of the pleasures of watching people get booted out of the jungle is seeing how they react to the edit. This week Alex Scott, the show’s first eliminated contestant, admitted during an appearance on Lorraine that she wished the show broadcast more of her “fun stuff”...

So there’s a lot of love on X right now for our final four contestants, albeit with all signs pointing to a win for either Ginge or Aitch. They’ve got this sewn up, haven’t they?

Friday 5 December 2025 23:00 , Adam White

So to keep everyone up to date, our final four going into tomorrow’s semi-final are...

ANGRYGINGE!

AITCH!

SHONA MCGARTY!

TOM READ WILSON!

I’m predicting an Angryginge and Aitch final two, at least. What about you?

Friday 5 December 2025 22:23 , Adam White

And now it’s time for Lisa’s exit. Lisa’s departure, of course, means that Shona McGarty is the last woman standing on this year’s show.

“It feels amazing to be out,” Lisa told Ant and Dec. “I’m free.”

“It’s been my basket of bliss, every single second.”

Random joke from Ant McPartlin there about having had a drinking problem. Not sure if he meant to say that out loud...

Friday 5 December 2025 22:13 , Adam White

I’m not crazy, am I, but is Jack Osbourne suddenly speaking in a really, really American accent? What is happening? Who is this?

image is not available Friday 5 December 2025 12:49 , Annabel Nugent

We’re not yet out of the jungle yet and the campmates are already plotting their next big career moves.

Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Ant and Dec and do more presenting, said his sister on Lorraine.

“He would love to do some more presenting. I think he'd be great at that,” said Miranda. “I’d love it if he had a chat show, because the way he talks to people, he really cares, he really listens, I think he'd be really good at that.”

What time is the final on Sunday?

Friday 5 December 2025 12:30 , Annabel Nugent

This weekend’s grand final will take place on Sunday (7 December) with fans treated to an extra long episode of the show.

It will kick off at 9pm and finish at 10:40pm, airing on ITV1 and ITVX.

Who has previously won I'm a Celebrity?

Friday 5 December 2025 02:16 , Katie Rosseinsky

When one of the remaining stars is crowned King or Queen of the Jungle on Sunday night, they will be the 25th celeb to receive the honour. Yes, I’m a Celeb has really been on our screens that long. And yes, it does make me feel ancient.

Here’s a quick whizz through everyone who has sat on that makeshift throne...

Tony Blackburn

Phil Tuffnell

Kerry Katona

Joe Pasquale

Carol Thatcher

Matt Willis

Christopher Biggins

Joe Swash

Gino D’Acampo

Stacey Solomon

Dougie Poynter

Charlie Brooks

Kian Egan

Carl Fogarty

Vicky Pattison

Scarlett Moffatt

Georgia Toffolo

Harry Redknapp

Jacqueline Jossa

Giovanna Fletcher

Danny Miller

Jill Scott

Sam Thompson

Danny Jones

So that’s 14 Kings, 10 Queens, half of McFly (or three sevenths of McBusted?) and one now married couple.
