Why 2025’s Lineup Excels
This year’s mix promises compelling television through diverse personalities: soap superstars (Shona McGarty, Lisa Riley), chart-topping talent (Aitch, Martin Kemp), sporting legends (Alex Scott), broadcasting icons (Ruby Wax, Kelly Brook), social media sensations (AngryGinge), and comedic wildcards (Eddie Kadi, Jack Osbourne).
The combination of people unfamiliar with reality TV alongside experienced television performers creates natural tension, humor, and genuine character moments that define the best seasons.
