The jungle drums are beating louder than ever as ITV has officially confirmed the highly anticipated return of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! for 2025, with the show making its triumphant return to its original Australian home.
After several years of uncertainty and temporary relocations to Wales, the iconic reality series will once again film in the lush rainforests of Australia, much to the delight of fans worldwide. The network has locked in a November 2025 premiere date, perfectly timed to brighten up those dark autumn evenings.
Back to the Jungle Roots
The confirmation comes as a relief to longtime viewers who have been eagerly awaiting news about the show's future location. While Gwrych Castle in Wales provided a dramatic backdrop during pandemic restrictions, producers have made it clear that the Australian jungle is where the magic truly happens.
An ITV spokesperson expressed excitement about the homecoming: "We're thrilled to confirm that I'm A Celebrity will return to Australia for the 2025 series. The jungle provides the perfect setting for the challenges and adventures that have made the show so beloved by millions."
What to Expect in 2025
While specific details about celebrity contestants remain tightly under wraps, insiders suggest the 2025 series will feature:
- All-new terrifying Bushtucker Trials that push celebrities to their limits
- Enhanced production values taking full advantage of the Australian landscape
- Surprise format twists that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats
- The return of fan-favourite segments with fresh jungle twists
The dynamic hosting duo of Ant and Dec is confirmed to return, bringing their signature humour and chemistry back to the jungle camp. Their presence has been a constant throughout the show's successful run, and producers credit much of the programme's appeal to their hosting prowess.
Why the Australian Return Matters
The return to Australia represents more than just a change of scenery. The authentic jungle environment creates a level of intensity and authenticity that temporary locations couldn't fully replicate. From the oppressive humidity to the very real wildlife encounters, the Australian setting adds an irreplaceable layer of challenge for the celebrity contestants.
Viewers can expect the same high-stakes drama, emotional camp moments, and hilarious challenges that have made I'm A Celebrity a national institution, now amplified by the raw beauty and danger of the Australian wilderness.
Mark your calendars for November 2025 – the jungle is calling, and this time, it's taking us back home to Australia.
