Tonight, 10 celebrities entered the Australian jungle, where they will endure gruesome tasks and nail-biting challenges.
For the debut episode, Kemp, 64, and Aitch, 25, were joined by Kelly Brook, comedian Eddie Kadi, and EastEnders actress Shona McGarty in a helicopter jump onto a beach.
Meanwhile, Wax, Jack Osbourne, Emmerdale star Lisa Riley, former Lioness Alex Scott and YouTuber Angryginge came face-to-face with snakes within seconds of joining the show.
It was revealed at the end of the episode that Wax and Angryginge would take on the first Bushtucker Trial of the series.

Celebrity Traitors has exposed the fatal flaw of I’m a Celeb
After the flatulence and fanfare of ‘Celebrity Traitors’, the return of ITV’s annual jungle series and its predictable lineup falls seriously flat. The show’s bosses could learn a thing or two from the BBC, writes Rachel McGrath.

Kelly Brook and Aitch jump out of helicopter as I’m a Celeb 2025 takes off
ITV’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! got off to a flying start as model Kelly Brook and rapper Aitch parachuted out of a helicopter. The show returned to our screens for another year on Sunday night (November 16) with other famous faces, including former Spandau Ballet bassist Martin Kemp and broadcaster Ruby Wax also featuring. Aitch and Kelly Brook were the first to jump from their helicopters, with the rapper calling it one of the best things he’s ever done. Kelly Brook’s reaction was altogether different. “Honestly, I could vomit,” the 45-year-old model and actress said.

A promising start
As far as I’m a Celebrity launches go, that was the best in a while – perhaps due to the show not being marred by featuring a controversial contestant (see: Matt Hancock and Nigel Farage).
It was an understated affair and all the better for it. The contestants seem like a pleasant, entertaining bunch. Let’s see how things shake out.
Join us again tomorrow for all the action from episode two!

Everyone arrives in camp – and it’s dinner time
But some are stinkier than others AKA the lot who were in “the cocky van”. The van crew won six stars, meaning they get a luxury dinner of *drumroll* emu neck. Shona is NOT happy.

Martin Kemp howling with laughter in the van while everyone was screaming at the insects has to be an episode highlight.

Back to the cocky van
Cut back to the unsuccessful stars who are left to fend for themselves in “the cocky van”.
“Something’s gonna go on here,” says Martin, stating the obvious, with Kelly Brook adding: “It’s just screaming horror movie.”
Seconds later, maggots, cockroaches and other insects drop from the ceiling, covering the celebs from head to toe.

Papa Osbourne’s in the camp
Jack Osbourne manages to start a fire despite some unhelpful teasing by Aitch and Ginge.
Ozzy’s son has positioned himself as the dad of the group, a role he seems happy to take – but Martin might have a thing or two to say about that.
