The 2025 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has reached its dramatic conclusion, with social media personality Angry Ginge being crowned the new King of the Jungle.
From Final Three to a Worthy Winner
The original dozen celebrities were whittled down to a final trio during the last episode, which aired on Saturday, December 6. The finalists were EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, Celebs Go Dating receptionist Tom Read Wilson, and the eventual champion, Angry Ginge.
Shona finished in a respectable third place, with Tom securing the runner-up position. Upon his victory, Angry Ginge described the moment as a 'dream come true', a sentiment echoed by viewers at home.
Fan Reactions and Jungle Confessions
Fans quickly took to social media to celebrate the result, with many declaring it a just outcome. One supporter wrote: "Knew this would be the outcome since the beginning. But he’s honestly really nice and it’s deserved." Another echoed: "You love to see it!!! so deserved!!"
In a candid moment with hosts Ant and Dec, Ginge admitted the experience was tougher than anticipated, revealing he had 'wanted to throw in the towel' on several occasions. He humbly added that he hadn't entered the jungle to win, stating he would have been happy for Tom to take the title.
Tom, in turn, showed immense grace, saying Ginge's win was 'everything I want'. He reflected that the jungle had changed his perspective, helping him move past introspection. Shona also shared her disbelief at making the final, calling the show a 'healing process' for her anxiety.
Gruelling Final Trials and Near Misses
The final three each faced a last, individual Bushtucker Trial to win their final jungle meal, with all three successfully securing the required four stars.
- Shona McGarty was locked in a box with 100 rats, maggots, and mealworms, using only her tongue to retrieve stars.
- Tom Read Wilson endured a vile eating challenge, consuming fermented egg, scorpion, and pig's vagina.
- Angry Ginge bravely immersed his head in multiple helmets filled with creatures including spiders and snakes.
The final followed the elimination of rapper Aitch on December 6, who was a favourite to win but narrowly missed the final. The 2024 champion was McFly's Danny Jones, who beat Coleen Rooney and Rev. Richard Coles.
