A BREAKFAST TV legend has been ‘lined up for I’m A Celeb 2025’ claim bookies, after a rush of bets on the ITV star.
We’ve not got long to go until I’m A Celebrity returns to screens, and speculation is rife as to who’ll be heading onto the hit show.

And according to the latest Ladbrokes odds shift, one such star could be Denise Van Outen, 51.
The star has previously said that she’s turned down appearing on the Ant and Dec hosted show on several occasions.
But Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes thinks 2025 could well be her year, saying: “It looks like the stars have finally aligned to give us Denise van Outback in 2025.
“With a new album in the autumn and a tour booked for the spring, there’s a glaring hole in her calendar that she could fill with a Bushtucker Trial or two.”
Bookies have slashed her odds of finally heading Down Under to 2/1 from 5/1.
Denise became a household name when she co-hosted The Big Breakfast with Johnny Vaughan from 1997 to 2001.
She has presented many TV shows including Who Dares, Sings and Something For The Weekend, Sunday Brunch (as a guest presenter), and she’s been a judge on Born To Shine and Ireland‘s Got Talent.
Aside from appearing on Celebrity Gogglebox she was also on The Masked Singer, in which she sang disguised as a Fox.
She’s been the narrator for The Only Way Is Essex since 2010.
Denise is also an actress and starred in EastEnders in 2015 and Neighbours for 19 episodes in 2019-2020.
In 2021 she competed in Dancing On Ice, but had to withdraw following injury.
Other names linked to this year’s I’m A Celeb include Emmerdale star Lisa Riley, and Shona McGarty.
Lisa, 49, has never hidden her desire to go into the jungle either, and is now in advanced negotiations with producers with a view to heading Down Under this autumn.
And Shona McGarty, 33, is in advanced talks to be an early signing for the ITV show, which films this Autumn in November.
It comes after Shona left the BBC One soap last year after 16 years playing iconic Whitney Dean on Albert Square.
A source said: “Jungle bosses have been keen to sign up the soap queen for ages.
“Shona is Walford royalty and hugely popular with TV viewers, she’s got bags of charisma and producers think she’ll 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.
“Show bosses are already talking to some brilliant names for the new series.”
