I'm A Celebrity is set to launch a brand new spin-off called Wild Frontier, based in the Canadian wilderness, according to reports. The new series, which will be hosted by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, comes just days after the most chaotic finale of the ITV show ever, which saw a public feud between David Haye, Jimmy Bullard, and winner Adam Thomas.
New Format for the Spin-Off
Producers have reportedly greenlit the new version, which will see celebrities paired up and left to fend for themselves in the Canadian wilderness. A source told The Sun: "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."
Celebrities Paired Together
The source added: "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 has contacted ITV and representatives for I'm A Celebrity for comment.
Chaotic Finale of All Stars Series
The news comes days after the finale of the South Africa All Stars series, which saw Adam Thomas accused of "intimidating, abusive and aggressive" behaviour by Jimmy Bullard after a row 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."
Heated Exchange on Live TV
Jimmy then asked Ant and Dec for their opinions, saying: "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." Ant 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 Haye 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's Apology
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.
