The excitement in the jungle has reached fever pitch as I’m A Celebrity 2025’s finalists are officially locked in following a heart-pounding elimination that left fans reeling. With the grand finale looming, the ITV smash-hit show ruthlessly trimmed its four remaining stars down to three, sending one fan-favorite packing in a twist no one saw coming.

Former EastEnders sensation Shona McGarty, fiery streamer Angry Ginge (real name Burtwistle), and charismatic TV personality Tom Read Wilson have secured their spots in the epic showdown for the Jungle Crown. But in a brutal shock, rapper Aitch – widely tipped as the frontrunner – was given the boot just shy of the final, leaving the camp in stunned silence.
Shona McGarty couldn’t hold back the tears as Aitch bid farewell to the jungle, her emotions spilling over in a raw moment that captured the deep bonds formed among the campmates.
Viewers at home were equally floored by the unexpected exit, flooding social media with disbelief. One shocked fan tweeted: “how HOW is Aitch not top three #imacelebrity.” Another gasped: “I fully just gasped out loud … wtf how is Aitch out #ImACelebrity #ImACeleb.” A third chimed in: “Wow Aitch not even top 3 😮😮😮 #imacelebrity.”
In his candid exit chat with hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, Aitch – whose real name is Harrison Armstrong – kept it real and positive. The 25-year-old confessed: “I’m not going to lie to you, I’m absolutely over the moon, over the moon. And I’m not just saying it being cheesy, them three in there are just mega. And this morning I woke up and I didn’t care whether I was winning, Ginge was winning, Shona was winning, Tom was winning.”
He added with a grin: “I can’t wait to just get home and watch the whole thing.” Reflecting on his jungle journey, Aitch highlighted the genuine vibes: “The beautiful thing about everyone in here is they’ve just all been a good laugh. They’ve all been real people, they’re all kind of just unique in their own way so the fact that you just get to spend time with people like that, and also maybe somewhat just like-minded people.”
But before the dramatic elimination, the stars faced off in the legendary Celebrity Cyclone – a chaotic gauntlet of wind, water, and mayhem that tested their grit to the max. Dubbed “the world’s most expensive slip and slide” by Ant and Dec, the trial kicked off with Tom Read Wilson, aka “the sapphire surfer,” charging ahead to grab his marker. A mid-course tumble sent his stars flying, forcing a frantic scramble back to square one.
Next up was Shona McGarty, “the silver songstress,” who scooped up three stars from Wilson and powered on to her spot. Angry Ginge then grabbed the next two from McGarty, with the hosts cheering: “Run, run, as fast as you can, you won’t catch him, he’s the Ginge man!”
Aitch rounded out the team, snagging the final star from Ginge – but a fumble sent it tumbling, demanding a restart. As he neared the end, a massive tidal wave crashed down, hurling bouncy balls and the celebs alike into chaos. Another wave followed, knocking McGarty’s star loose, but the resilient quartet regrouped just in time to claim victory.
Ecstatic after the win, Shona declared: “That was the best day of my life!” while Aitch quipped: “Cyclone? Completed it mate.”
With final tickets metaphorically sold out and the jungle buzzing, all eyes are on Shona, Angry Ginge, and Tom as they gear up for the ultimate battle. Who will emerge victorious and claim the crown? Stay tuned – the finale promises more thrills, spills, and unforgettable moments!
