ITV I'm A Celebrity star pulls out two weeks before launch with bosses 'surprised'

An ITV I'm A Celebrity star has sensationally PULLED OUT of the series just weeks before the launch in Australia. Ant and Dec will return to the ITV show this winter, as the next series of the ITV reality TV show gets ready to air.

But Tommy Fury, the Love Island alum, won't be among those competing. Fury has pulled out of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! - just two weeks before the stars were expected to fly out to the Australian jungle.

A TV insider said: "Bosses are surprised Tommy has chosen to pull out of I'm A Celebrity at this late stage as it would have been a great opportunity for him too. Thankfully, the execs already had some great names waiting in the wings so they'll now be looking at which ones fit best into the line up already booked so they can deliver a truly great series.

"With only weeks to go, bosses have lined up one of the most exciting casts in the show's history." The line up is expected to include WAG queen Coleen Rooney, Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse and NDubz singer Tulisa, the former ITV The X Factor star.

Instead of appearing in the jungle, Fury will instead fight KSI in a boxing rematch. After their fight in October, 2023, YouTube star KSI fumed and said: "That is a robbery, bro. How many jabs did you land? Look at your face, look at your eyes. I’m the YouTuber, you are the boxer so you have to win?

“He is the man who is supposed to be the pro boxer. He hit me on the back of the head over and over. It is outrageous. I want to appeal. I need to see it again. I felt like I won that.”
