How long I’m A Celeb contestants must stay in camp to get paid as 2025 lineup confirmed

I’m A Celebrity is just around the corner, with contestants landing in Australia ahead of the upcoming season of the reality TV show.

Whilst they are nearly all guaranteed to receive some major payouts, with Colleen Rooney earning £1.5 million for her appearance on the show last year, this will only come into effect if they last a certain amount of time in the jungle, however.

This is intended to stop celebrities from appearing, deciding after one night they can’t hack it, then running off with £100,000. And anyone who fails to meet this requirement will be expected to say goodbye to their fee.

This year’s lineup will also have to adhere to this rule if they want their payout, as the celebrity case for the 2025 edition of the ITV show has finally been confirmed.

I’m A Celeb's 2025 lineup is confirmed

The 2025 I’m A Celeb lineup is headlined by rapper Aitch, but contains well-known stars such as Kelly Brook, Alex Scott, Martin Kemp, Angry Ginge, and Jack Osbourne, the son of the late Ozzy Osbourne.

Meanwhile, other names filling out the cast for this year are Eddie Kadi, Ruby Wax, Shona McGarty, and Lisa Riley. Despite this, there are two names that were not included in the lineup pictures who will be appearing in the jungle.

This is due to the customary late arrivals, with two celebrities not present from the very start.

Though these have not yet been officially confirmed, The Sun have reported that Irish TV personality Vogue Williams and Celebs Go Dating receptionist Tom Read Wilson will be the late arrivals.

How long do I’m A Celeb stars need to stay in the jungle to get paid?

I’m A Celeb stars hoping to get their money will need to stay a minimum of 72 hours in the jungle.

This is a widely reported secret rule in production, made obvious by Gemma Collins’ famous exit after just 72 hours on the show, with reports stating that she forced herself to last three days in the jungle.

This is one of several secret rules that celebrities must adhere to while in the jungle.

One of the most widely known ones is that, similarly to The Traitors and Love Island, contestants are not allowed to know the time.

Many fans picked up on this when they noticed that Ant and Dec sometimes wear watches with the face taped over, so contestants can’t spot the time.

Additionally, celebrities are not allowed to bring personal effects or luxury items. A number of celebs have tried to smuggle in items before, like spices, tea bags, or coffee, but are often caught.

I'm A Celeb producer, Olly Nash, previously explained that letting them have these comforts goes against the idea of the show.

He said: “You wouldn’t have anything that could be distracting, part of this game is making sure that you are creating reality and having a chat with other people and doing stuff and dealing with the boredom.”
