Overview
- Series 25 launches tonight at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX with Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly introducing 10 celebrities including Kelly Brook, Aitch, Ruby Wax, Martin Kemp and Alex Scott.
- The premiere sets up early stakes with a parachute drop to a beach for an offal-and-slime key‑fob race for the Getaway car, while others face green ant hand boxes with their heads enclosed as snakes are introduced.
- ITV’s new rule bars viewers from voting the same contestant into a Bushtucker trial for a third straight day after two consecutive appearances.
- Heavy rain and thunderstorms on Australia’s Gold Coast disrupted early filming and left the camp wet on the first night, according to on‑site accounts.
- Multiple outlets report contestants must remain 72 hours to secure full fees, and the Unpacked companion show returns nightly on ITV2 and ITVX hosted by Joel Dommett and Kemi Rodgers.
