I’m A Celebrity spin-off Extra Camp has been cancelled after 17 years.
Joel Dommett confirmed the news in an Instagram post on Thursday, as he said “the time has unfortunately come to put Extra Camp to bed in its uncomfortable hammock.”
“The show will no longer continue. It’s been a huge privilege to be a part a show with such a rich history filled with amazing hosts,” he continued. “The producers have assured me that @emilyatackofficial @adamthomas21and myself are not to blame – they said the show was better than ever and also that Joel is the sexiest presenter we have ever had (I wasn’t listening but it was something like that) – it is simply because it’s expensive given how late it’s on and the funds will be used in more prime time slots. I’ve told them that Adam will do it for free but the decision is made.”

He ended the post by thanking the crew who had “made this the most wonderful three years”.
“You have shaped me as a person and presenter,” he said. “I’ve learnt so much. Thank you to everyone for watching #extracamp.”
Adam Thomas, who joined the series as a co-presenter alongside Dommett and Emily Atack for the most recent season, also took to Instagram to share the news.

“Ok so this isn’t awkward … imagine your first ever presenting role on a show that’s been running for years… you do one show and it gets cancelled,” he wrote, alongside a bunch of laughing emojis. “You can’t write it haha aww not gonna lie wish I could have had another go at it… but that’s life! What a job what an experience at least I can tell my kids I was once a presenter!
“Thank you to all the team @itv2 was an absolute pleasure getting to know and work with each and every single one of you ! Until we meet again.”
