The competition for the crown in the 2025 season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! kicked off with ten new contestants taking on the challenges of the Australian jungle. Former contestant Tony Bellew, who reached the final three in a previous season, has shared his predictions for this year’s potential winners. The series debuted on Sunday evening, hosted once again by Geordie duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
This year’s lineup features a mix of familiar faces from various fields, including comedian Ruby Wax, rapper Aitch, television presenter Alex Scott, and content creator Angryginge. They are joined by well-known personalities such as Lisa Riley from Emmerdale, singer Martin Kemp, television host Kelly Brook, and Shona McGarty from EastEnders, all vying for the title of King or Queen of the Jungle.
Tony Bellew’s Predictions
Speaking to EsportsBets, Bellew expressed his belief that Jack Osborne will emerge as a standout contestant this season. He remarked, “I think he’s going to be a revelation there.” Bellew noted that moments of silence from Osborne would reflect on his father, which could resonate with both the audience and fellow contestants.
In addition to Osborne, Bellew also pointed to Alex Scott and Aitch as strong contenders. “I think those three will go down an absolute storm,” he added, highlighting their potential to connect with the viewers during their time in the jungle.
Shona McGarty’s Early Impression
Meanwhile, body language expert Judi James has identified Shona McGarty as a likely winner based on her initial actions. McGarty made a striking entrance, parachuting onto a beach and engaging in a challenging offal task before even entering the jungle. James remarked that her body language displayed “authentic bravery,” coupled with a sense of humor and empathy.
“Her poses for the camera and her rodeo rider gesture suggested a desire to get on with the action,” James stated, adding that McGarty’s concern for fellow contestant Eddie Kadi during the offal exercise revealed a caring nature. “A display of empathy and caring support this early on suggested a trait of authentic warmth that could make her popular with the campmates as well as the viewers.”
As the competition unfolds, viewers will be keen to see if Bellew’s predictions hold true and whether McGarty can maintain her early momentum. The dynamics in the camp and the challenges ahead will undoubtedly shape the journey to the crown in this year’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.
