In a plot twist straight out of a celebrity thriller, Spandau Ballet icon Martin Kemp has seemingly been outed as the latest jungle-bound star for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!—all thanks to a cheeky Instagram slip-up from a Scottish nightclub. Fans are buzzing after Fubar in Stirling dropped a bombshell post that screams “bushtucker trials” without saying the words outright.
The drama unfolded when the venue announced Kemp’s sudden no-show for his scheduled gig this Saturday. But it wasn’t just any cancellation; their Wednesday night reveal, sprinkled with palm tree and spider emojis (hello, Aussie outback vibes!), hinted at something far juicier. “We’ve just had word that Martin Kemp won’t be able to join us this Saturday as planned,” the post read. “He’s been called away for a major TV commitment (you’ll no doubt see it all over the telly very soon).”
Ouch—that’s got to sting for eager fans who’d already booked hotels and cleared their calendars. The nightclub feels the pain too, admitting they’d footed the bill for his travel and digs. But hey, silver lining: They’ve locked in a rescheduled date for Saturday, June 13, 2026, with all tickets rolling over automatically. Not keen? Full refunds are available hassle-free via Skiddle. And to set the record straight, this wasn’t their call—blame it on those mysterious “TV commitments.”
The Daily Record has fired off queries to ITV and Kemp’s reps for the official scoop, but the speculation mill is already in overdrive. Could this be the confirmation we’ve been waiting for? After all, I’m A Celebrity is gearing up for its triumphant return on Sunday, November 16—marking a whopping 25th series under the watchful eyes of hosts Ant and Dec.
Rumors have been swirling like a jungle storm about this year’s lineup, with whispers of Ozzy’s son Jack Osbourne, Emmerdale powerhouse Lisa Riley, boxing sensation Conor Benn, ex-Love Island hunk Tommy Fury, and Loose Women star Kelly Brook all potentially swapping luxury for creepy-crawly chaos.
Adding fuel to the excitement, the first trailer for the 2025 edition dropped like a festive bombshell. In this 60-second gem, Ant and Dec crash a family’s Christmas dinner with a twisted take on holiday grub—think bushtucker trial classics like wriggling larvae and slimy surprises exploding from crackers. Rocking matching festive jumpers decked out in spiders, bugs, and those iconic golden stars, the Geordie duo declare: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year… and it’s about to get even better!”
Ant, 49, teases the thrills ahead, while Dec, 50, chimes in: “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!”
With Kemp’s “major TV commitment” looking more like a one-way ticket to the jungle every minute, fans are glued to their screens. Will he conquer the trials or cry uncle? Stay tuned—the secrets are spilling faster than a downpour in the outback!
