The jungle is about to get even tougher for the celebrities in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2025 as the first eliminations loom. After a relatively peaceful first week allowing the stars to acclimatise, the competition is set to intensify dramatically.
When Will the First Campmate Be Voted Off?
The initial ten celebrities have been joined by two late arrivals, bringing the total campmates to twelve. While they've had time to settle into Australian camp life, the safety of numbers is soon coming to an end. The public vote, which determines who stays and who goes, has not yet opened but is imminent.
Historically, eliminations do not begin during the early stages of the competition. Based on patterns from previous years, the first public vote to evict a celebrity is expected to commence towards the end of the second week. If the 2025 series follows the same schedule as the 2024 season, viewers could see the first elimination as early as Friday, November 28.
A Look Back at Previous Series' Timings
To better predict the 2025 schedule, it's useful to consider when past eliminations began. In the 2024 series, the first campmate was sent home on Friday, November 29. The 2023 series saw its first public elimination on December 3, though this was preceded by two voluntary withdrawals from the show.
This indicates that the timing can shift slightly depending on circumstances within the camp, such as medical issues or early departures. For now, all twelve celebrities remain in the jungle, but that is certain to change very soon.
How to Have Your Say
When the time comes, hosts Ant and Dec will officially announce the opening of the public voting lines during the live show. They will provide clear instructions, ensuring viewers have ample opportunity to vote for which celebrity they want to save or see leave the camp.
The tension is set to ramp up significantly as the campmates face not only the gruelling Bushtucker Trials but also the judgement of the viewing public. The first elimination marks a pivotal turning point in the series, signalling the real beginning of the race to be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle.
