I’m A Celebrity is set to launch a brand new spin-off – based in the Canadian wilderness, it has been claimed.
Just days after the most chaotic finale of the ITV show ever – which saw a very public feud between David Haye and Jimmy Bullard and winner Adam Thomas break out – it has been reported that a new spin-off is in the works.
It has been revealed that the producers have greenlit a new version, which will be hosted by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly. It will see celebrities paired up together and left to fend for themselves in the Canadian wilderness in a new format for the ITV show.

“This has all been very hush-hush, but everyone involved is really excited to get cracking with filming. The scenery will be stunning and the action explosive,” a source told The Sun.
“Imagine the tension of two stars paired together, forced to eat, sleep, breathe and work together in constant near proximity. There will likely be fireworks and already some pretty big names are in the mix to appear.”
The Mirror have contacted ITV and representatives for I’m A Celebrity for comment.
It comes days after the finale of the South Africa All Stars series, which saw Adam accused of “intimidating, abusive and aggressive” behaviour by Jimmy Bullard after the pair rowed following the Rancid Run trial.
During the final, Jimmy told the former Emmerdale star: “Listen, Adam and all of you can be upset with me and I absolutely threw him under the bus, I get it and I’ll wear that.
“But what I don’t stand on, is someone being abusive, aggressive and intimidating, I don’t stand on that.” He then asked Ant and Dec – who were hosting the show – to share their opinions.
“You were there and you didn’t show any of that footage. You didn’t show any of the C-bombs, it’s a liberty,” Jimmy told them. Ant then argued back: “The reason we didn’t air the C-bomb is because that is unbroadcastable. I was there and I didn’t think it was intimidating. I was there Jim.”
David then stepped in to back Jimmy over Adam, who was sat in front of him. The soap actor interjected: “Let the finalists speak,” as he was cheered on by the audience.

Adam insisted: “I take full responsibility for my actions and yes emotions were definitely running high in that moment. I have nothing but love for Jimmy in that moment. I have apologised to Jimmy on numerous occasions and I do take everything that he is saying into account and the only thing I can do is apologise.
“That is not how I want to show myself off and I have never shown myself off like that before or after that. I do apologise Jimmy.” Chaos then ensued and when the show wrapped, David and Jimmy claimed they had been “kicked out” of the final.
