The race for the jungle crown on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! 2025 has exploded into life over the past few days – and has now reached its climax with Angry Ginge officially crowned King of the Jungle. His victory comes at the end of a dramatic final week that began with a shock double elimination, sending two big names packing just days before the final. Viewers watched in disbelief as Jack Osbourne and Lisa Riley were both voted out, clearing the way for a fiercely contested race. The semi-final then claimed rapper Aitch, leaving Angry Ginge, Shona McGarty and Tom Read Wilson to fight it out in the live final – before the public vote delivered a decisive win for Angry Ginge.
According to live coverage from outlets such as The Independent , the double eviction earlier in the week was not widely expected in camp, leaving the remaining celebrities stunned as the numbers thinned out overnight. A follow-up semi-final episode then saw Aitch depart the jungle as the ninth contestant eliminated, confirming the final three still in the running for the jungle crown – before tonight’s final saw Angry Ginge announced as the winner, with Tom Read Wilson and Shona McGarty completing the podium.
Shock double exit: Jack and Lisa leave the jungle
Friday night’s episode confirmed that Jack Osbourne and Lisa Riley would be the latest stars to cross the bridge and say goodbye to the jungle. After Ant and Dec revealed that a double eviction was on the cards, tension soared as the names were read out.
Jack, who had built a reputation as a steady, good-humoured presence in camp, bowed out after narrowly missing out on the iconic Cyclone challenge. Lisa, a fan-favourite soap star known for her infectious laugh, also fell at the final hurdle before the last trials. Both left on a high, praising their campmates and reflecting on the surreal experience of jungle life.
Their departures follow a ruthless run of eliminations this week, which has already claimed Martin Kemp, Ruby Wax, Kelly Brook, Vogue Williams, Eddie Kadi and Alex Scott, as documented in detail by Radio Times .
Who made the I’m A Celeb 2025 final three?
Before the winner was revealed, the jungle had been narrowed down to three celebrities. One of these stars was always destined to be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle:
- Angry Ginge – The social-media star became one of the breakout personalities of the series, mixing emotional moments with chaotic humour. His resilience in trials and raw honesty helped build a strong online following – and ultimately carried him all the way to the crown.
- Shona McGarty – The former soap favourite had one of the most emotional journeys in the jungle, opening up about personal struggles and forming deep bonds with fellow campmates. Many viewers saw her as the heart of the camp, and she was announced in third place on final night.
- Tom Read Wilson – Initially seen as a polished late entry, Tom steadily grew into a fan favourite thanks to his wit, kindness and eloquent confessionals. He handled trials with style and ultimately finished as runner-up to Angry Ginge.
During his earlier exit interview, Aitch praised all three remaining stars but publicly backed Angry Ginge to win, telling Ant and Dec that the crown “needs to be taken back to my hometown” – a prediction that has now proved correct.
Betting markets and TV pundits had framed the race as wide open going into the final, with different outlets highlighting different favourites. In the end, Angry Ginge’s combination of vulnerability, humour and grit in the trials appears to have captured the public mood.
From milk-bottle sweets to brutal Cyclone: a chaotic final week
The final result is the climax of what has been a rollercoaster last week in camp. Earlier episodes were dominated by the now-infamous “milk-bottle sweets” saga, after departing campmate Kelly Brook revealed that she, Aitch and Angry Ginge had secretly taken more than their fair share of treats from a camp reward.
The confession sparked debates about trust and fairness in camp, and fans quickly dubbed the incident “milk-gate” on social media. While some viewers saw it as harmless mischief, others argued that the move was selfish with food already scarce in camp. That controversy has now become part of Angry Ginge’s wider jungle story – one that still ended in victory.
On top of that, the semi-final episode delivered a brutal Celebrity Cyclone that many fans are calling the toughest yet, with Tom, Shona, Angry Ginge and Aitch all battling huge water cannons, flying inflatables and slick conditions to hang on to their stars. The images from that trial will likely be among the defining moments of the 2025 series.
Social media reacts to Angry Ginge’s win
As soon as the winner was announced, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and TikTok lit up with reaction – from emotional posts to playful memes – as fans celebrated Angry Ginge’s victory and paid tribute to Tom Read Wilson and Shona McGarty.
- Fans of Shona McGarty and her close friend Bal continue to praise “the amount of love for Shona and Bal”, with many EastEnders viewers saying she leaves the jungle as “a winner in our eyes” despite finishing third.
- Tom Read Wilson has his own devoted fanbase, with multiple posts declaring “Tom is MY winner” and thanking him for bringing charm and calm to camp life during some of the tensest moments of the series.
- Angry Ginge dominates the main hashtag, with fans celebrating his win, sharing clips of his emotional confessions and trials, and joking about how he’ll react when he returns to normal life and checks his football team’s league position.
- Others are enjoying the lighter side of the finale, praising this year’s more practical shorts, Ant and Dec’s links, and the overall feel-good energy of the closing show.
- Fan-made content continues to flood in, including edits set to music and a “Jungle Club 2025 jingle” written for Ant and Dec, showing just how creative – and committed – the #ImACeleb audience has become.
Between heartfelt posts, voting campaigns and jokes about being “strapped for cash” while still backing their favourites, the live hashtag has been buzzing all night – and the online energy confirms this finale as one of the most passionately followed yet.
