DOUBLE ELIMINATION SHOCK: Ant & Dec Drop Jungle Bombshell as Martin Kemp Becomes 6th Star Voted Out — And More Exits Are Coming
The jungle was thrown into chaos on Thursday night as Ant and Dec stunned viewers with the announcement of a surprise DOUBLE elimination, just days before the I’m A Celebrity 2025 final.
Moments after Martin Kemp, 64, became the sixth campmate to be voted off, the iconic Geordie duo reopened the voting lines — revealing that two more celebrities will go home next, with the axe falling on Friday’s live show.
Martin’s exit came after 20 days in the wilderness and just hours after he finally took part in a Bushtucker Trial — following Vogue Williams’ revelation during a livestream that he had secretly been exempt from some challenges earlier in the series.
“I’ve Dreamed of This Moment”
The Spandau Ballet legend couldn’t hide his relief as he crossed the famous bridge to reunite with his wife Shirlie, 63, who had flown to Australia to support her husband of 40 years.
Sat with Ant and Dec, Martin admitted:
“I have dreamt about this moment. It’s been a weird trip — but I absolutely loved just sitting around talking with everyone. I’m not one for making new friends, and this is the first time in years I’ve done it.”
He said he felt he had achieved everything he wanted inside the jungle:
“I can walk out with some brilliant anecdotes. I wasn’t the one dancing or singing — I just brought a calm energy.”
Martin also joked he was “glad” not to have beaten his son Roman Kemp’s 2019 placement — Roman famously finished in third place.
The Trial That Shocked Viewers
Earlier in the episode, fans were stunned when Martin finally left camp to do a trial after Vogue Williams publicly claimed he had been exempt from some.
During the challenge Lethal Libraries, Martin teamed up with Tom Read Wilson, 39. While Tom rummaged through a towering bookcase teeming with snakes, Martin took on the question-answering role — leaving most of the “hands-on horror” to Tom.
The Race to the Crown Tightens
With Martin now out, six celebrities remain:
-
Jack Osbourne
-
Aitch
-
AngryGinge
-
Lisa Riley
-
Shona McGarty
-
Tom Read Wilson
Two will be eliminated next — and the final four will take on the legendary fan-favourite trial Celebrity Cyclone, battling it out for the title of King or Queen of the Jungle.
As the finale edges closer, loyalties are shifting, pressure is mounting, and I’m A Celeb has officially entered its most unpredictable stage yet.
