I’m a Celebrity Returns With App Glitch as Ruby Wax and Angryginge Set for First Trial

The launch drew complaints over a faulty ITV app that blocked votes for the opening Bushtucker Trial.

Overview

  • Ten contestants, including Aitch, Martin Kemp, Ruby Wax and Jack Osbourne, entered the Australian jungle as the 25th series began.
  • The premiere featured helicopter jumps to a beach and a messy key‑fob challenge, while others at a luxury villa faced snakes and green ants to win a ride to camp.
  • Viewers reported the ITV app would not verify phone numbers or register votes, leaving some unable to participate in selecting the first trial.
  • Ant and Dec announced that Ruby Wax and YouTuber Angryginge will take on the series’ first eating challenge at The Divey.
  • Early social media reaction tipped Martin Kemp as a potential frontrunner, as separate complaints targeted frequent ad breaks and the revamped title sequence.
