Beloved ITV Series to Launch New Spin-Off Show with Big Twist 25 Years After Debut
Ant and Dec will return as the series sends paired celebrities into Canadian wilderness challenges, with ITV planning the 2027 debut.
ITV will launch a new Canadian spin-off of the Celebrity series in 2027, with presenting duo Ant and Dec returning to host. Celebrities will take on challenges "in the Canadian wilderness."
The arrival of the new series marks 25 years since the first Celebrity show began in 2002. Currently, the programme has a version based in South Africa, following the original Australian jungle series.
Named Celebrity Wild Frontier, the show will feature a "surprise twist" by pairing up well-known faces as they tackle "terrifying trials." The format forces celebrities into constant proximity during challenges.
Everyone involved has kept filming plans "hush-hush," though reports suggest "there will likely be fireworks" as big names are in the mix to appear. Production secrecy has fueled casting speculation.
This new Celebrity project follows controversy from Celebrity South Africa, where David Haye is reportedly suing ITV for "way more than £10,000,000" over his depiction during the series final.
