I'm A Celebrity star spotted at airport before flying to jungle after line-up 'leak'

The first star to join the eagerly-awaited 2025 series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! has been spotted at Heathrow airport, ahead of the show's launch next week.

Glamour model and Loose Women panellist Kelly Brook was seen leaving the terminal, dressed in chic brown loungewear, as she prepared for her long-haul flight to Australia.

The 45-year-old telly favourite, who recently featured on Celebrity Race Across The World, was snapped checking in her vintage luggage, beaming warmly for the cameras as she navigated through the airport bare-faced.

Kelly is one of the rumoured stars set to mingle with a host of famous faces in the jungle, including EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, reality TV personality Jack Osbourne, presenter Vogue Williams, and Emmerdale's Lisa Riley, reports the Daily Star.

Other speculated contestants include comedian Ruby Wax, YouTube star AngryGinge, ex-footballer Alex Scott, Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp, comedian Eddie Kadi, rapper Aitch, and Celebs Go Dating's Tom Read Wilson.

However, one notable name who won't be braving the jungle is Nick Ferrari, who has withdrawn from the show after his radio bosses agreed to match the hefty fee offered by I'm A Celebrity.

As reported by The Mirror, the This Morning star had been in "really productive conversations" with the show's producers before ultimately deciding against participating.

However, sources close to the situation have indicated that upon learning of the LBC presenter's intentions, his employers at Global "pledged to match any fee he was set to receive" given his strong listener appeal.

But the famous faces aren't the only ones braving the Australian wilderness this year. The location has been overrun by thousands of deadly amphibians.

Wildlife experts have eliminated more than 38,000 toxic cane toads from the vicinity as they represented a serious risk to the arriving personalities.

A source disclosed: "The celebrities are always given a strict talk about what wildlife to avoid when they are in the camp but it is quite easy to brush past one of these toads and get slime on your hands or people might think they are cute frogs and try to stroke them."

A representative from conservation group Watergum said: "The cane toad population has completely exploded in Australia because they are invasive species with no natural predators.

"They are toxic at every life stage and poison Australian native wildlife like birds, quolls and native frogs, causing declines and local extinctions.

"They have a voracious appetite and they can lay up to 35,000 eggs at a time."

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! 2025 is confirmed to start on November 16 on ITV
