I'm A Celebrity 2025 Odds: Lisa Riley Tipped For Jungle Appearance
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! will return to our screens this autumn, and there is a star-studded market on betting sites surrounding who might take part.
Ant and Dec will be back Down Under to front the popular ITV reality show, which was won by McFly's Danny Jones last year.
I'm A Celebrity - which is set to air from November to December – should not be confused with spin-off programme I'm A Celebrity... South Africa, which is due to be filmed this autumn and air next year.
Soap stars have been a regular fixture in the I'm A Celeb camp, and it looks set to be a similar story this year.
Swapping Dales For Down Under?
Emmerdale legend Lisa Riley has often been linked to I'm A Celebrity over the years, but viewers could finally see her step into the jungle for series 25.
The Mandy Dingle actor is just Evens on betting apps to join the cast of 2025, after it was reported she is in advanced negotiations with show bosses to take part.
A TV insider told The Sun newspaper: "Lisa is the perfect celebrity for the show because not only is she from a soap watched by millions, she is one of its biggest characters and it is an ITV show to boot.
"She also has a naughty, mischievous sense of humour, which is guaranteed to get a big response from her other celebrity campmates during their time in the jungle.
"Lisa is by no means the first star from Emmerdale to have gone on I’m a Celebrity and those that do always tend to get a great response from viewers at home."
Lisa has previously fuelled her own jungle speculation, telling Woman's Weekly magazine: "I'm A Celebrity... is something I would do before I turned 50 as a test for myself.
"They ask me most years, and I would not rule it out."
Walford Queens In Oz?
The Australian jungle could resemble a soap set this year, because a couple of EastEnders stars have also been linked to the series.
Shona McGarty - best known for playing Whitney Dean in the show - is just 4/1, and fellow Albert Square icon Patsy Palmer is a 9/2 chance to take part in this year's series.
Last year, Shona bowed out of the BBC One soap after 16 years, and she is said to be in talks with I'm A Celebrity producers.
A source recently told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Jungle bosses have been keen to sign up the soap queen for ages.

"Shona is Walford royalty and hugely popular with TV viewers. She has got bags of charisma and producers think she will be a great campmate.
"Plus fans haven’t seen much of her away from Enders, so I’m A Celeb will be an opportunity for her to show a completely different side to her personality."
If Shona does not take part, then I'm A Celebrity bosses could opt for another Walford queen in Patsy, who is known for playing EastEnders' Bianca Jackson.
CBB King Aiming For Jungle Crown
Patsy is no stranger to reality TV of late, after she took part in this year's Celebrity Big Brother.
Another soap star, Corrie's Jack P. Shepherd, won the latest series, following in the footsteps of 2024 CBB victor David Potts. The former Ibiza Weekender star David could soon be testing himself in the Australian jungle.
Despite admitting he would be the "worst person that ever went on" the ITV show, David has not ruled it out.
He previously told Closer magazine: "I like putting myself into a position where it’s out of my comfort zone.
"Like when I did Karaoke Club, and then CBB again was out of my comfort zone. I’d be awful in the I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! jungle - I would actually be the worst person that ever went on.
"But great TV for everyone. I’d go in for the weight loss!"
The reality TV king is just 5/4 to sign up for the jungle, and he is in front of the likes of former Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker (11/8), comedian Adam Buxton (6/4) and ex-model Jools Oliver (13/8) - the wife of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver - in the market.
Professional boxer Tommy Fury nearly appeared in last year's I'm A Celebrity season, before pulling out to return to the boxing ring, and he is 3/1 to take part in the upcoming series.
