The jungle camp is now complete and the ‘content creator’ Angry Ginge, is popular in the 2025 I’m A Celebrity betting. He headed the market at 7/4 before the show was launched and has been a solid performer on all but one occasion screened since.
Born in Manchester and christened Morgan Burtwistle, Angry Ginge is an extremely successful creator of football related content online. He has also taken part in charity football matches, including Soccer Aid, putting him into mainstream media. Described as energetic and entertaining, he ought to do well if his many online followers want to see more of him. He thinks he is ok with snakes. Being on this show is a dream for him, he has been watching it for years.
Facing the challenge for a place in the ‘getaway vehicle’ he changed his mind and begged the warders to tell him what was being placed in the box on his head. Snakes were first and he did well. Angry Ginge has only shown one moment of frustration that has been aired so far. He started criticising a more knowledgeable campmate’s fire-starting technique. He blows on candles to put them out. How could that work to get a fire going?
It was Aitch, aka Harrison, the 25-year-old rapper from Manchester who wisely steered Angry Ginge away from the first fire to be lit in camp. Aitch has won a Brit Award and ‘gone platinum’ a couple of times. He said the tandem jump out of the helicopter was the best thing he had ever done in his life.
Aitch is embracing life in the jungle and has shortened from 13/2 to 7/4 in the I’m A Celebrity betting for a reason. He has been sharing his modern language with the older camp members in an entertaining way that has gained him air time. He was chosen by the public to be camp leader and is a serious contender for the jungle crown.
Jack Osbourne, rock legend Ozzy’s son, was the experienced fire-starter. He was extremely focused in the first task, gaining a place in the getaway car. He has camped a lot and lit the inaugural fire.
Reality TV stars have done particularly well in the jungle which ought to put Jack firmly in the frame. He is close to the ideal age band too but is struggling to process his father’s death. He took charge of the camp immediately, trying to do everything. He ruffled the feathers of his campmates when he decided to step back and single-handedly allocate tasks. As a father he naturally takes control but these are adults. He has drifted like a barge in the 2025 I’m A Celebrity betting from 15/2 to 25/1.
Kelly Brook, the 46-year-old model, actress and Heart Radio host is so scared of heights she avoids escalators. She managed the jump from the helicopter with minimal fuss and seemed to be smiling as she came into land. She has a positive spin on eating trials, they are full of collagen which is good for the skin. Kelly appears to be a decent person but is unlikely to score in this company.
The comedian, actor and presenter from the Congo, Eddie Kadi, had never even camped before. He loves his food and wants nothing to fall off his bones. He is going to try to be brave as his daughter will be watching.
When forced to search for tools in a tank of rancid animal flesh he shouted ‘it’s just meat, it’s just meat’. Only Aitch was faster. He is not likely to win but his chances of staying in camp for a while are probably better than his current price of 125/1 in the I’m A Celebrity betting suggests.
Martin Kemp became famous as a member of the extremely successful 1980s band Spandau Ballet and is now a respected actor and popular television personality. He was asked to audition for the role of James Bond in the 1990s but Pierce Brosnan was preferred.
Martin’s son Roman came third in the 2019 I’m A Celebrity. He would love to do better and admitted he wants to win. It is not out of the question as he appears to be a thoroughly likeable, emotionally generous character but his current price of 25/1 seems justified.
Ruby Wax, the US born comedian, actor, interviewer and writer is 72 years old and does not seem to realise what she has signed up for. She bossed one of her rivals for getting in between her and the camera at the meet-up location and was selected by the public to take part in the first trial with Ginge. They both munched their way through all the disgusting offerings gaining a full set of stars.
Wax is extremely intelligent and knows how to be entertaining. She is great at coaxing interesting stories from her campmates too. Her I’m A Celebrity odds have shortened from 33/1 to 20/1.
Lisa Riley aka Mandy Dingle in Emmerdale admitted that she is not good with animals and is dreading rats and cockroaches. She is going to be 50 in July and signed up for the jungle in an age-related now or never moment.
Losing her mum in 2012 led to a disastrous downward spiral involving three bottles of wine a night. She has emerged with credit from the abyss and is a sympathetic, emotionally generous mother figure in the camp. She was a 16/1 shot before the launch show and is now fourth in the I’m A Celebrity betting for good reason. Caring people usually do well but she looks an unlikely winner.
The former Lioness Alex Scott is now a football pundit and received an MBE for her services to the sport. She is confident in her ability to cook and clean but admits that she is definitely not as brave as a lioness. She managed the first task well but narrowly missed the final space in the luxury ‘getaway car’.
Alex is an admirable person but is unlikely to gain much air time in a camp full of big personalities. She is consequently a 125/1 shot in the 2025 I’m A Celebrity betting.
EastEnders actress Shona McGarty likes to have fun but suffers from social anxiety and rarely makes the cut. She has never been further from home than Greece but thinks she will be able to handle spiders. She looked completely terrified leaving the helicopter but got on with it.
Shona was pragmatic when dealing with an emu neck as camp chef and butchered it efficiently, leaving Alex in awe. Her current price of 28/1 seems an accurate reflection of her chances.
The extraordinary Tom Read Wilson, best known as the receptionist on Celebs Go Dating, has had a major impact as a late arrival to camp. Ginge thought his cut glass accent must be a pretence, expecting him to drop it. He was wrong.
Tom chose to sing to the many snakes in his first trial and reassured them that he ‘came in peace’. His accent was unchanged when one of them decided to explore the contents of his shorts. Tom’s family have been teachers for generations and have educated him well.
He recited Shakespeare’s most famous sonnet in full to Ruby Wax and proved he is an extremely talented mimic when Aitch asked him to try doing his voice. Tom was so impressive that his response was aired twice. Initially a 6/1 shot, his odds have shortened to 4/1 since he has appeared on the show. He is a one-off and is likely to make the final if he copes with conditions in the jungle.
Vogue Williams, the model, presenter and television personality from Ireland was the other late arrival. She has viable credentials for the jungle, winning a Bear Grylls Mission Survive programme ten years ago. Facing the same snake-filled trial with Tom, she screamed a lot but got the job done.
Vogue comes across as kind and considerate but is going to struggle to achieve air time in this company. She is currently a 125/1 outsider for good reason on all evidence to date.
2025 I’m A Celebrity Betting Tip
Most of the recent winners in the jungle have been in their 30s or younger. Angry Ginge is in his twenties and has a massive following online. He has been selected to take part in three trials which has to be a positive, putting him on the shortlist.
His fellow Mancunian, the 25-year-old Aitch is also popular and was selected by the public to be the camp leader. He chose his best mate Ginge as his deputy, guaranteeing air time.
It looks a close run battle between them but the 38-year-old TOM READ WILSON is such a phenomenon that he could attract countrywide support. Made In Chelsea’s Sam Thompson proved that posh boys can win in 2023 and there is reason to think there could be another. Back Read Wilson to win, currently priced at 4/1 in the 2025 I’m A Celebrity betting.
