I’m A Celebrity fans have being revealing their picks for the jungle next year (Picture: Rex)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s been just over a week since I’m A Celebrity<\/a> 2024 ended so that means it’s time to start thinking ahead to next year’s show to fill that jungle void in our lives.<\/p>\n

It was McFly star Danny Jones<\/a>, 38, who was crowned champion<\/a> of the ITV<\/a> show earlier this month after beating finalists Coleen Rooney<\/a>, 38, and Reverend Richard Coles<\/a>, 62.<\/p>\n

Next year’s I’m A Celebrity has a lot to live up to as the 2024 line-up, which also featured the likes of GK Barry<\/a> and Maura Higgins<\/a>, was hailed by viewers as its ‘best’ yet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But fans have already begun compiling a list of their dream campmates for 2025, including a 00s<\/a> TV star who has kept a lower profile in recent years.<\/p>\n

They’re hoping Karl Pilkington<\/a>, 52, makes a splashy comeback on I’m A Celebrity – and we’re sure Ricky Gervais at least would approve of his pal suffering through Bushtucker Trials.<\/p>\n

Karl first soared to fame on the comedian’s Radio X show before going on to front his own travel series An Idiot Abroad from 2010 until 2012 and companion series The Moaning of Life from 2013 until 2015.<\/p>\n

Karl’s first major TV role was arguably An Idiot Abroad (Picture: Sky)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

His last major TV show in which he had a leading role was comedy-drama series Sick of It, which concluded in 2020 after two years. <\/p>\n

Since then, Karl’s had small rolles on The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe, Rain Dogs and Ludwig.<\/p>\n

Now, though, Karl’s fans are desperate for him to return to centre stage on I’m A Celebrity, with Leather-Assistant902 writing on Reddit: ‘I\u2019d love to see Karl Pilkington in it. I know he never will do it, but it\u2019d still be nice.’<\/p>\n

Other users were keen to see the likes of comedian James Acaster<\/a>, TV presenter Alan Carr<\/a>, singer Jamelia<\/a> and Clarkson’s Farm star Jeremy Clarkson<\/a> in the jungle.<\/p>\n
