The winner of I’m A Celebrity 2025 has been officially announced, with social media star Angry Ginge claiming the coveted King of the Jungle crown. The competition boiled down to a gripping final three: EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, Celebs Go Dating’s Tom Read Wilson, and Angry Ginge.
Shona secured third place, Tom came in second, and Angry Ginge emerged victorious, much to the delight of fans. After his win, Angry Ginge described the moment as a “dream come true,” a sentiment echoed by fans who praised the well-deserved outcome. One fan wrote, “Knew this would be the outcome since the beginning. But he’s honestly really nice, and it’s deserved.” Another added, “You love to see it!!! So deserved!!”
Reflecting on his journey, Angry Ginge admitted to hosts Ant and Dec that the experience was far tougher than anticipated. He confessed to moments where he “wanted to throw in the towel,” emphasizing that he didn’t join the show with the goal of becoming King and would have been equally happy if Tom had won.

Tom Read Wilson expressed his joy at the final results, describing the jungle experience as transformative. “Historically, I tend to be a little introspective, and that’s not very good for me,” he shared. “Here your whole focus has to be outward, and it’s a very nice way to live.”
Shona McGarty, who was delighted to reach the final, spoke candidly about her relationship with rapper Aitch, denying any romantic involvement. “When he came in, he had this rapper persona, but underneath it all, I could tell he was quite scared of the whole experience…he’s normal, he’s down to earth,” she said. Acting as a protective “older sister,” Shona described the show as a healing journey for her, helping her manage anxiety and encouraging her to “take things easy.”
The finalists each faced individual Bushtucker trials during the series finale to earn their final meals, with all three securing the maximum four stars. Shona braved a box filled with 100 rats, maggots, and mealworms, using only her tongue to retrieve stars. Tom tackled a grim eating challenge, consuming fermented eggs, scorpion, and pig’s vagina. Angry Ginge endured the discomfort of immersing his head in helmets containing spiders and snakes.
Rapper Aitch, a fan favorite and one of the frontrunners for the crown, narrowly missed out on a spot in the final, being voted out on December 6. Last year’s champion was McFly’s Danny Jones, with Coleen Rooney and Reverend Richard Coles finishing second and third respectively.
