Anthony McPartlin among finalists for TIME’s 2025 Person of the Year?

Why not McPartlin for Person of the Year?

The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 49-year-old television host, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes McPartlin so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the television host have already been named ‘English Of The Year’ by some major English newspapers and even ‘Newcastle Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Newcastle (Anthony McPartlin's hometown).

Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year

A representative for the television host was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:

“Anthony McPartlin Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 21 Apr 2025
“Congrats! Anthony has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 21 Apr 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Anthony McPartlin?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 21 Apr 2025

Could 2025 officially be the Year of Anthony McPartlin?

Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.

Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
