COMEDIAN Eddie Kadi has arrived in Australia ahead of his forthcoming I’m A Celeb stint.
Eddie Kadi, who will no doubt be the practical joker of the group in this year’s series, has touched down at Brisbane airport after flying into Australia for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2025.
Keeping spirits high, the funnyman, 42, is ready for camp life in the Aussie jungle and has told The Sun what he’ll miss most while he’s away from his life in the UK.
He clearly didn’t get the memo that the lineup has been announced when we quizzed him, but said he’d miss his daughter most.
When asked if he was excited to be going into the jungle, he referenced The Jungle Book and The Lion King.
Eddie, who wore a light pink tracksuit with black palm tree pattern on it, joked: “I’m looking for Mowgli.

“I’ve heard my best mate Mowgli and Timon and Pumbaa are around somewhere, so I’ve come to catch up with them.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen them.”
He then asked: “Are there jungles here? If there is, you can show me round. Have you been to one?
“I don’t mind. I’m a tourist, man, so why not?”

Eddie went on to say: “I feel good. I feel good about life altogether.
“It’s been a long flight getting to Australia, I can tell you that.”
He said he will miss his family and his daughter, adding: “Oh gosh, absolutely.
“My little girl, I’m gonna absolutely miss her.
“I’ve been doing little videos for her along the way – she’s never travelled this far.”
His jungle stint comes after the star appeared on BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing in 2023, partnered with Karen Hauer.
He has also previously filmed for Celebrity Apprentice.
When The Sun revealed the official lineup for this year’s I’m A Celeb, a source said of Eddie’s signing: “Eddie is hilarious and will provide some much needed comic relief to campmates in the jungle.
“He’s very quick-witted and the show will hopefully help land him lots of new fans.”
Earlier this year Eddie launched the Man Like You Podcast with former I’m A Celeb campmate Babatunde Aléshé, 39, who took part in the series in 2022, and TV presenter Mo Gilligan, 37.
