I’m A Celebrity kicked off in spectacular style for the 25th series on Sunday night as the stars faced fish guts and offal in their first trial.
The line-up waved goodbye to their glamorous lifestyles as they headed into the Australian jungle.
Ant McPartlin, 49, and Declan Donnelly, 50, were once again at the helm of the ITV show and put the celebrities through their paces for the first challenge.
Before they even set foot in camp, Kelly Brook, 45, was tipped the favourite to win by viewers who said on X: ‘It’s early days. But I want Kelly Brook to win’.
The presenter, Shona McGarty, 34, Aitch, 25, Martin Kemp, 64, and comedian Eddie Kadi, 42, faced dizzying heights as they had to parachute out of helicopters and land near the star launch pad, where the presenters were waiting for them.
Speaking of his son Roman Kemp placing third on the show back in 2019, Martin said: ‘The pressure is on me to do a bit better than that. I’d love to say I don’t wanna win, but I do…’

After landing with a bump on the beach, the celebrities soon learned they had to battle it out for two coveted seats in the getaway car – the fastest, most direct route to camp which awards them the comfiest beds in camp and steak for dinner.
The getaway car also allowed the two stars to enter the jungle in luxury with cocktails and canapés.
After wading through offal and slime to unlock the key fob, Aitch and Eddie secured the keys.
But the road into the jungle wasn’t easy and after losing their first challenge Kelly, Martin and Shona, joined Alex Scott, Jack Osbourne, Ruby Wax, AngryGinge and Lisa Riley as they were forced to travel in the back of the Cockie van.
The team were tasked with unlocking to retrieve stars for camp but in true I’m A Celeb style they faced thousands of critters and snakes crawling over the heads.
Alex squealed: ‘They’re all down my bloody bra!’ while Kelly screamed: ‘Oh my god, they’re biting my t***!’
Jack and AngryGinge were the fastest to unscrew the bolts and so headed for cocktails at the Getaway car.

Fans of the show were unhappy about the new introduction.
They wrote on X: ‘They changed the opening titles?!’ and ‘Not sure about the new title sequence’.
Loose Woman star Kelly is thought to be receiving a fee of £80,000 and not the estimated £300k that had been previously mooted.
The presenter made a U-turn after being persuaded by husband Jeremy Parisi to take part in the show, after previously declaring she would never do it.
Back in 2018, Kelly said there would be ‘a million’ other things she would rather do, like working in her local pub, than appear in the jungle.
‘I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles and all the things they have to eat on there,’ she said on her Heart radio show.

‘Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn’t do it.’
