The jungle madness has officially begun! Filming for the latest season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is underway, and right out of the gate, stars like Kelly Brook and Martin Kemp are being thrown into the deep end—literally. With the ITV show set to premiere this Sunday, the celebrity lineup has already been captured on camera facing a heart-pounding start to their Australian adventure: a blindfolded helicopter leap that screams “welcome to the wild!”

In exclusive new snaps, Kelly, the Loose Women favorite, channeled her fierce side in a sizzling animal-print dress reminiscent of Scary Spice, while Spandau Ballet legend Martin kept it cool in a navy shirt paired with cream chinos. Joining the thrill ride were comedian Eddie Kadi, rocking a casual blue tee and beige pants, and EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, turning heads in a vibrant, colorful jumpsuit. The group was spotted on the sandy shores of Evans Head in New South Wales, Australia, where they were guided—eyes fully covered—toward waiting helicopters.
Once strapped in, they soared high into the sky before plunging into the unknown with that terrifying jump. But the drama didn’t end there! Upon landing, the celebs erupted in excitement, rushing to hug one another and even breaking into a quirky group dance. From afar, hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly watched the spectacle unfold from what looked like a majestic castle perch, no doubt plotting the chaos ahead.
An eyewitness spilled the beans: “When the celebs touched down, they were all over the place—running, hugging, and just buzzing with energy. They did this weird little dance together, and when they spotted Ant and Dec, they lined up like kids at school, waving wildly. Everyone was grinning ear-to-ear, but let’s be real—that joy might fade fast once those gruesome Bushtucker Trials kick in!”
Adding to the adrenaline? Both Kelly and Martin have confessed to a major fear of heights, making this opener even more nail-biting. Kelly admitted before jetting off: “I’m really petrified of heights. As you get older, you’re more aware of what can go wrong. When you’re younger, you’re like Teflon—nothing sticks!” Martin echoed her nerves, saying: “If you ask me to pick rats up, I can feel the shudder go through my body. I’m not very good with heights either, and like everyone, your stomach goes wobbly.”
This year marks the show’s epic 25th series, and ITV bosses are cranking up the competition with a fresh twist: the “two in a row and you miss a go” rule. Celebs can only be voted into Bushtucker Trials twice consecutively before getting a breather from the next vote—though they’re fair game again after that. The change aims to prevent viewers from piling on one star, as seen in past seasons where Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough endured six trials straight last year, and ex-Tory MP Matt Hancock faced a similar onslaught in 2022.
Rounding out this star-studded cast are rapper Aitch, presenter Alex Scott, TV icon Ruby Wax, YouTube sensation Angry Ginge, Jack Osbourne, and Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley. Plus, keep an eye out for late arrivals: Celebs Go Dating’s Tom Read Wilson and presenter Vogue Williams are rumored to crash the party soon.
Buckle up, folks—this jungle journey is just getting started, and if Day 1 is any indication, it’s going to be one unforgettable, scream-filled ride!
