A new I’m A Celebrity spin-off show has been announced ahead of the latest series of the popular ITV programme. The main series, presented by Ant and Dec, will be back on our screens on Sunday, November 17 at 9pm.
ITV has not yet officially confirmed any of the campmates participating in this season. However, Coleen Rooney is a strong favourite with bookmakers to join this year’s camp. Also rumoured to be joining the series are Ally McCoist, former footballer John Barnes, darts legend Phil Taylor and Coronation Street star Alan Halsall.
On Tuesday morning, Good Morning Britain’s entertainment presenter Richard Arnold announced a new I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! spin-off show to accompany the series. I’m A Celebrity Unpacked will be hosted by comedian and 2016 runner-up Joel Dommett as well as 2023 winner Sam Thompson and presenter and DJ Kemi Rodgers.

Dommett told the ITV programme: “I did the extra show for three years, which I loved. I feel like I learned everything there. And then it stopped for a couple of years and it feels like the right time to bring it back.
“We’re really sort of mixing it up. We’re changing it a lot. Obviously, we’ve changed the name, which is great. And we’re going to have Ant and Dec on every day talking through lots of stuff.”
“We’re going to have the campmates coming straight to us for big interviews. We’re just going to really divulge everything about the show, really get into the nitty gritty of everything.”
Dommett also welcomed his “jungle buddies” Thompson and Rodgers on to the show. Rodgers revealed she has never been to Australia, where the programme is filmed.
The spin-off show, axed in 2020, has previously been called The Daily Drop, I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp, and I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! Now! This year’s contestants have yet to be announced. The new series will start on Sunday November 17 on ITV1 and ITVX.
