I'm A Celebrity 2025: Huge clue that Martin Kemp has signed up for ITV show as Spandau Ballet star cancels appearance

Martin Kemp could be set for stint on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here after a huge clue leaked online indicating that he is heading Down Under.

The Spandau Ballet member and former EastEnders star has been among the rumoured names joining this year’s show, which kicks off on ITV1 later this month. If he does take part, he would follow in the footsteps of son Roman Kemp, who finished third place in 2019.

Now, a huge clue has been released online that points towards those reports of Martin’s involvement being accurate. The music star had been due to host a Back To The 80s music night at Fubar nightclub in Stirling, Scotland - but the venue has revealed on social media that the star has cancelled his appearance at the last minute.

Fubar said in a statement: “We’ve just had word that Martin Kemp won’t be able to join us this Saturday as planned. He’s been called away for a major TV commitment (you’ll no doubt see it all over the telly very soon 👀📺🌴🕷).”

The statement was accompanied by emojis including peering eyeballs, a television set, a tropical tree, and a spider. This is a huge clue that points towards there being truth to the rumours that Martin is taking part in this year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

A source previously told The Mirror that Martin had signed up for the show, saying: “Martin is a household name having been top of the hit parade with Spandau Ballet in the 80s and then in EastEnders in the early 2000s – he’s a great signing and everyone is very excited at the prospect of getting him Down Under.”

The return of the ITV reality show was confirmed in a new teaser trailer starring long-running hosts Ant & Dec. The duo could be seen in the teaser serving up a bushtucker trial-inspired Christmas dinner in anticipation of the new series.
