I'm A Celebrity bosses confirm major 'two in a row and then you go' Bushtucker Trial rule change
ITV execs have put a stop to the same campmate being voted for a trial every nightI’m A Celebrity…Get Met Out Of Here has confirmed a major rule change to this year’s Bushtucker Trials.
In a mega shake up, the 2025 campmates can only be voted two times in a row to carry out a gruesome trial before ‘missing a go’.
Bosses at TV have bought in the new rule to stop the same celebrity being voted every single night to carry out a trial.
Last year, Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough was voted to do seven consecutive Bushtucker Trials. He quit two of them before they had finished by shouting: “I’m a celebrity get me out of here!”
In other years, Gillian McKeith, Katie Price, Nigel Farage and Helen Flanagan all suffered the same fate at the hands of the public vote.
But ITV has now confirmed to TVGuide that the rules have changed for I’m A Celebrity 2025. This is thanks to the new ‘Two in a row and you miss a go!” rule.
I’m A Celebrity 2025: ‘Two in a row’ rule change
An ITV spokesperson tells us it will mean the Bushtucker Trials, which are carried out to win food for camp, will be shared out more evenly.
“Show bosses are keen to give all campmates the opportunity to shine in Bushtucker Trials this year and are bringing in a new rule that after a celebrity has been voted for two trials in a row, they cannot be voted for one on the next day,” the spokesperson said.
“This new rule means the responsibility for winning food is shared amongst more of the campmates.
“More campmates will have an opportunity to step up and play their part with viewers getting a chance to get to know them more, it’s their chance to shine.”
Host Ant McPartlin will be particularly thrilled. Last year, he moaned: “It’s not all about Dean. You just get to a point where you go, ‘Who’s still voting for Dean?’ I don’t get it.”
Who are the campmates this year?
I’m A Celebrity 2025 starts this Sunday, November 16, 2025. The campmates heading into the jungle were confirmed earlier this week and it is a great line-up.
Stars taking part include US comedy queen Ruby Wax, 80s pop star Martin Kemp and former model Kelly Brook. Jack Osbourne has also signed to the show, four months after the death of his rock star dad Ozzy.
Former Lioness Alex Scott is among the line-up, as is ex-EastEnders actress Shona McGarty and Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley. They are joined by comedian Eddie Kadi, social media star Angry Ginge and rapper Aitch.
Ant and Dec will of course host the show. I’m A Celebrity’s spin-off, Unpacked, will once again be presented by Joel Dommett and Kemi Rodgers.
We can’t wait for it to get going!
