The race to the I’m A Celebrity 2025 crown is tightening, and it looks like the finish line is now in sight — complete with a supersized final episode.
Although the series has only just wrapped its second week, reports claim producers have already locked in the finale date. After a chaotic 10 days filled with camp clashes, surprise twists and more sugar-fuelled scandals than anyone anticipated, the end is officially approaching.
Sources told The Sun that this year’s feature-length final will air on Sunday, December 7, kicking off at 9pm and running until 10.40pm — significantly longer than a standard episode. As expected, three celebrities will battle it out for the title of King or Queen of the Jungle.
But what viewers really want to know is: when will the first elimination drop?
Based on the timeline, and the need to narrow the camp down to just three stars, the first vote-off is expected to hit as early as Friday, November 28. Tensions are already simmering in the newly introduced Rivals challenge, where Vogue Williams and Kelly Brook are shown going head-to-head tonight in a bid to secure immunity. Even so, hosts Ant and Dec have yet to confirm the exact moment the axe will fall.
Meanwhile, the loved ones of this year’s contestants have begun flying into Australia ahead of the dramatic exits. Shona McGarty’s sister, Ruby Wax’s husband, Jeremy Parisi — Kelly Brook’s husband — and Tom Read Wilson’s mum have all touched down, ready to greet their stars on the iconic bridge.
But some may be in for a longer wait than others.
According to bookmakers, comedian Eddie Kadi is tipped to be the first to leave, with Vogue Williams now unexpectedly climbing the danger rankings. Aitch remains the firm favourite to win, ahead of Angry Ginge, Tom Read Wilson and Lisa Riley.
Shane Orton from Sportcasting explained the latest betting shift, saying viewers appear unconvinced by Vogue’s late arrival, noting that “she’s already at the top of the early exit betting.”
