Meet Tom Read Wilson: The New Star Of 'I'M A Celebrity' - BABEOfficial 2025

Who is Tom Read Wilson?

If you’ve been glued to the latest season of 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here,' you've probably noticed a fresh face lighting up the jungle – Tom Read Wilson. Joining the adventurous line-up that includes Aitch, Eddie Kadi, Kelly Brook, Shona McGarty, and Angry Ginge, Tom has quickly become a standout personality among the stars braving the wilds of Australia. With his warmth, wit, and unmistakably unique voice, he’s already winning hearts. But who exactly is this charismatic newcomer?

Tom is no stranger to the spotlight. A talented singer, actor, and TV personality, he honed his craft at the prestigious Royal Academy of Music. He’s graced the stage in numerous musical theatre productions and even auditioned for series five of 'The Voice.' However, he’s perhaps best known for his role on the dating reality show 'Celebs Go Dating,' where he transitioned from a receptionist to a senior client coordinator. His television appearances don’t stop there – he’s also been spotted on 'Love Island: Aftersun,' 'Britain's Got More Talent,' and 'Countdown.' In 2020, Tom showcased his smarts by winning 'Celebrity Mastermind' with his expert knowledge of 'My Fair Lady.'

Tom’s Jungle Adventure

Joining the jungle crew might sound like an exhilarating escapade, but for Tom, it was initially met with a bit of trepidation. "My first thought when they approached me about taking part was abject terror," he confessed. "But I have got a very strict rule in life. If the only reason that you don’t want to do it is fear, you must do it, whatever it is."

“I’m fearful as a porcupine and I am very nervous that my grey cells won’t dance properly in camp,” Tom shared, highlighting his concerns about the lack of intellectual stimulation in the jungle. "At home, I do a cryptic crossword every day, I always have a book on the go and I am a bit worried that my frontal lobes will drop off if I don’t have a lubricant for it."

Despite his initial nerves, Tom's embracing the experience with open arms and has quickly become a fan favorite. His unique perspective and infectious energy are refreshing additions to the series.

Personal Life and Future Dreams

Beyond the jungle, Tom Read Wilson has been candid about his personal life. Openly identifying as gay, he shared with Pink News in 2018 that while he enjoys his own company and doesn’t feel pressured to find a partner, he dreams of having children one day. "If someone came into my life, it would be a beloved addition," he explained. "Most days I feel like a moist madeira sponge that doesn’t really require icing. But if there were icing, it wouldn’t go amiss." With three godchildren and three nephews, Tom cherishes his family connections and hopes to expand them in the future.
