The winner is set to be crowned on Sunday night (December 7)
EastEnders star Shona McGarty has come in third place after appearing on the 25th series of ITV I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, leaving Angry Ginge and Tom Read Wilson battling it out to be crowned King of the Jungle.
Three weeks ago, twelve celebs headed down under to battle it out to survive in the Australian wilderness in a bid to be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle, taking part in gruelling challenges to earn food for the camp.
Celebs already evicted include footballer Alex Scott, actress and comedian Ruby Wax, Emmerdale star Lisa Riley, musician and actor Martin Kemp, Manchester rapper Aitch, model and actress Kelly Brook, and TV personality and son of Ozzy Osbourne, Jack Osbourne.
Aitch was unexpectedly the ninth celebrity to be voted out of the jungle, after being a firm favourite to win throughout the last three weeks, leaving E4 Celebs Go Dating host Tom Read Wilson, streamer Angry Ginge, and Shona in the final three. But it was Shona who took third place, announced shortly before 10pm on Sunday night (December 7).
After leaving the jungle, Shona said to Ant and Dec: “I feel great, I do, I feel great. I made it this far, I cant believe it. I’ve done it all. I can’t believe you kept me going in here, it looks like I had fun in there and I did.”
Sharing her favourite part of taking part in I’m A Celebrity, Shona said: “Favourite part was seeing my sister, but I’d have to say the pirate ship trial, I absolutely loved it.
Earlier in the series, Shona was caught using contraband in camp and was dethroned from being leader after just a short time, but it turned out that it was Angry Ginge – real name Morgan Burtwistle – who brought in the butter.
“He got away with murder in there,” Shona told Ant and Dec. Reacting to Kelly, Aitch and Ginge stealing the milk bottles after a Dingo Dollar challenge earlier in camp, Shona said: “You wait till I see you Aitch.”
Then, Ant and Dec showed Shona a compilation of moments she shared with Manchester rapper Aitch in the camp. She said: “To be completely honest when he came in he had that rapper thing going on, but underneath it all I could see that he was quite strange. He’s normal, down to earth, I felt like a big sister I just wanted to look after him.”
In a candid message to Ant and Dec, Shona revealed: “I will take away from this that I came in here shaking like a sh****ng dog, and my anxiety has been up and down for as long as I can remember but I have learnt a lot about myself in here and it has been a healing process for me in here.
“In real life, I’m going to handle things a little easier now.”
Sharing her chosen winner, Shona said she wants to see Tom be crowned the winner of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2025. The winner will be crowned shortly as the final airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
