A POPULAR I’m A Celebrity spin-off show will return to ITV this year.
Former 2016 show star Joel Dommett, 39, let slip a major change to the programme – which kicks off next month.

Talking on Good Morning Britain, the jungle runner-up confirmed The Sun’s exclusive story revealing the Extra Camp comeback for the upcoming season.
Yet the additional slice of action in camp Down Under will come under a new name – and now be dubbed I’m A Celebrity Unpacked.
Joel said: “I feel like it’s the right time to bring it back.
“There’s a thirst for it.”
Yet he then introduced the rest of the Unpacked presenting “gang” – this being reigning jungle king Sam Thompson, 32, and radio DJ Kemi Rodgers.
Sam then continued: “I am not joking, it is the best show on TV.
“Being a part of it, then being on the other side, is a dream come true.”
Joel then added it was a “real privilege” to be a part of.
We previously told how the sister series will run alongside again with several hosts and offer viewers inside gossip and entertainment on the all star campmates.
Joel confirmed the show would see chats with hosts Ant and Dec every day as well as juicy interviews with campmates.
EXTRA CAMP HISTORY
The last presenters to have fronted the spin-off include Emily Atack and Adam Thomas.
Radio 1 DJ Vick Hope hosted a version of it during 2020 called the Daily Drop on ITV Hub.
A show spokeswoman was first to tell us this month: “Since Extra Camp came off air four years ago the conversation and engagement around I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues to grow across all social media platforms.
“This new ITV2 companion show will bring together all those conversations in one place, to give viewers the ultimate IAC destination for all of their news, gossip and behind the scenes fun around TV’s biggest entertainment show.”
A source said: “There is a huge buzz around I’m A Celeb this year and everyone wants the mischief of Extra Camp to return as well.
“It is believed that there will be a different show name as it makes a comeback with lots of names in the mix to host.
“And it looks like there will be a few presenters as well to add to the fun of the show.”
Stars lined up to appear on the main show include Tommy Fury, Oti Mabuse, GK Barry, Alan Halsall and Tulisa.
I’m A Celeb returns on Sunday, November 17 on ITV.
