Shock Exit: Celebrity Favorites Abruptly Quit New Series as Cameras Start Rolling
What’s wilder than swapping kangaroos for caribou and watching minor celebrities trade in the steamy outback for the chilly Canadian wilderness? Evidently, the answer is: dropping out of your own reality show before the cameras have barely started rolling. As filming kicks off for ITV’s freshly-confirmed I’m A Celebrity…The Wild Frontier, we’ve already got two would-be stars bolting before the first creepy crawly snack. If you’re the sort who finds yourself wondering, “Who in their right mind signs up for this jungle mayhem—then changes their mind at the last minute?”—you’re not alone. The notorious series has always delivered big on chaos, but this “all-new format” spin-off is promising even more delicious unpredictability, major shake-ups, and yes, some dramatic exits before anyone’s even eaten a bug .
I can’t decide if I wish I could fast-forward to 2027, or just need a countdown clock to all the campfire mishaps—and it’s not just about who’s in the line-up anymore; it’s about who’s already said nope! This show has gone transcontinental, thrown out the solo act, and—plot twist—wants you to watch celebs squirm in pairs . Rainforest? That’s old news. Snow, sleet, and maybe the occasional wild moose? Now, that’s TV. If you’re bracing yourself for the next ridiculous “celebrity” duo or wondering which Instagram influencer will cry first, you’re definitely in the right place .
Curious? Trust me, you haven’t seen reality TV until you’ve seen it hyped, dropped, and then rebooted on the Canadian tundra, all before the Christmas chocolate even leaves the shelf . LEARN MORE
Filming for ITV’s new show I’m A Celebrity…The Wild Frontier is underway, but two contestants have reportedly already pulled out.
Swapping the rainforests of New South Wales, Australia for the wilderness of Canada, prepare to buckle up for the spin-off of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!
After weeks of excited whispers of anticipation, I’m A Celebrity…The Wild Frontier has been officially confirmed by the channel.
But what can we expect from this new reality series and who’s faces can we expect to spot munching some sort of creepy crawly on our TV screens?
Who’s on the line-up for I’m A Celebrity…The Wild Frontier?
Well, we know who reportedly isn’t set to be on the line-up anymore, with Super TV, The Sun and TV Zone reporting that Venezuela Fury, daughter of boxing legend Tyson Fury, and her partner Noah Price have pulled out.
The outlets alleged the newly weds quit the show days into filming.
The pair are reported as having been replaced by Love Island winner Toni Laites and her best friend Marielle.
LADbible has contacted ITV and representatives of Venezuela Fury and Noah Price for comment.

Other contestants are reported as including: Content creators Paul Olima and Jeremy Lunch; partners Rio and Kate Ferdinand; Boyzlife musicians Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy; ice skaters Christopher Dean and Karen Barber; Louise Redknapp and brother Joe.
Indeed, if this raised your eyebrows, the show features a major twist compared to its predecessor.
What will the challenges be in I’m A Celebrity…The Wild Frontier?
The challenges will follow a similar nature to the OG I’m A Celeb, seeing contestants take on hair-raising trials and be faced with getting far too close for comfort with some creepy crawlies.
However, celebrities are set to compete in pairs, rather than as individuals. And this doesn’t just mean a celebrity with a celebrity either.
Celebrities may end up being paired with friends, family members, or fellow celebrities, as per Radio Times.
The pair only maintain their place in the competition by ensuring both people get through the challenge.
And if you were wondering about your other favourite duo…

Who will host I’m A Celebrity…The Wild Frontier?
Ant and Dec are indeed set to return to host the I’m A Celeb spin-off.
Reflecting on the news being announced, Ant said: “This brand new series is I’m a Celebrity like you’ve never seen before. It’s a brand new format with lots of twists and surprises.”
Dec reassured the show is set to ‘retain some of the elements that we know viewers love from the Australian series’ too.
He added: “Buckle up, it’s going to be brilliant.”
But when can you expect to see it on screen?
When will I’m A Celebrity…The Wild Frontier air?
Well, sorry to make you realise just how quickly this year has gone, but you can expect to see the spin-off on your screen pretty soon.
ITV’s director of entertainment, reality and daytime, Katie Rawcliffe, said in a statement: “The format takes duos to the most spectacular locations in Canada. The duos enter as a pair, play as a pair and leave as a pair. With all the brilliant DNA of I’m a Celebrity, brand new gameplay and the dynamics of living and playing with your spouse, best mate or sibling, it promises to be a treat for audiences in 2027.”
Yup, 2027! And if you’ve stepped into a supermarket recently and spotted not only are Halloween chocolates lining the shelves but also some Christmas merch too, you’ll know this isn’t even that far away!
I’m A Celebrity… The Wild Frontier is set to hit screens sometime in 2027.
