I’m A Celebrity 2025 line-up: Kelly Brook
Loose Women star Kelly Brook became the first star to jet out to Oz on Saturday (November 8).

21 hours later, she opted for an outfit change in a multicoloured figure-hugging dress.

Lisa Riley
Emmerdale star Lisa Riley was then captured arriving in Australia while pushing her luggage through the airport.
As she was asked about her trip, Lisa, who plays Mandy Dingle in the soap, said: “We did Dingles Down Under many years ago, so it’s only fair we do Dingles Down Under again, I feel.”
As she prepares to take part in the show, Lisa added: “Us Northerners are made of tough skin”.
She told the Daily Mail: “I have worked on a farm for many years on Emmerdale, so you know it’s part of the job being Mandy Dingle, I suppose. I am just here to have fun and have a real good laugh.”
Shona McGarty
Former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, who played Whitney Dean in the BBC soap opera, was then captured Down Under.
When questioned about what brought her to the country, she joked to the Daily Star: “I got on the wrong flight! I thought it said Austria!”
The 34-year-old soap star appeared in a bright pink shirt while donning black shorts and a New York Yankees cap.
Rapper Aitch
Following last weekend, rapper Aitch is the latest star to be captured at the airport in Australia wearing a black Adidas tracksuit.
The Baby hitmaker, whose real name is Harrison Armstrong, told the Daily Mail: “I was gonna say that I’ll miss the rain in the UK but it’s raining here so nothing’s changed much.”
“I’ve been to Australia plenty of times. I love it over here. I don’t mind snakes, snake on toast,” he continued.
