A former Strictly star and comedian is said to be the latest rumoured name to sign up to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2025. Eddie Kadi is best known for his comedy career but it looks like he could be swapping the stage for the jungle in two weeks time.
The 42-year-old is no stranger to reality TV as he competed in Strictly Come Dancing back in 2023 and has also starred in Celebrity Apprentice. If he is to head to the jungle, he can seek advice from his pal, former I’m A Celeb campmate Babatunde Aléshé who took part in the series in 2022.

A source told The Sun: “Eddie is hilarious and will provide some much needed comic relief to campmates in the jungle. He’s very quick-witted and the show will hopefully help land him lots of new fans.”
ITV is yet to confirm which celebrity faces we can expect to see taking on the Bushtucker Trials this year although the rumoured line-up include Kelly Brook, Martin Kemp and Lisa Riley. However, a start date has been revealed and fans only have two more weeks to wait for the iconic show.
ITV has confirmed the popular reality TV show has been scheduled to kick off on November 16, as they released an exciting teaser trailer starring Ant and Dec yesterday.

In the clip, Ant and Dec are seen wearing Christmas jumpers as they serve up gruesome looking meals to a family at Christmas. It opens with the dad telling a joke at the head of the table before the iconic I’m A Celeb jungle sound effect begins before one of them clears their throat loudly to interrupt the fun.
The famous pair are then seen bringing the iconic wooden cloches to the table, which are used to serve celebrities up with meals during the Bushtucker Trials.
However, the family look excited and grateful as they make “Oooh” and “Aahhh” sounds before Ant declares to Dec: “It’s that time of year again!”

“It comes so fast doesn’t it,” Dec replies as they watch the family tuck into the disgusting dishes. The family are then seen pulling crackers which explode with gunge as they all burst into laughter around the table.
The daughter of the group then reaches into a gunge-filled stocking to pull out a star. Ant and Dec watch the festive mayhem before Ant declares: “‘Tis the season…” before Dec places something in his mouth to interrupt Ant as he says: “For I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!”
The show’s iconic theme tune plays before a voiceover adds: “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! returns Sunday, 16 November live on ITV1 and ITVX.”
Speaking about the show’s return for another year, Ant said: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year… and it’s about to get even better with the news that the new series of ‘I’m A Celebrity…’ is just weeks away!” Dec added: “Yes, it’s time to Ant and Dec(k) the halls and clear your diaries, because we’re coming back to your screens on 16th November!”
The Mirror have contacted Eddie’s reps for comment.
