I’m A Celebrity 2024: Spin-off to return

Yesterday (Saturday, October 5) it was announced that I’m A Celeb spin-off, Extra Camp, will be making a return.

Extra Camp was the companion show to I’m A Celeb, airing on ITV2 after episodes of the main show aired.

The spin-off contained behind-the-scenes clips, unseen moments, and interviews with celebs.

It ran from 2002 until 2019, when it was cancelled by ITV. At the time, Emily Atack, Adam Thomas, and Joel Dommett hosted the show.

In 2020, it was replaced by The Daily Drop on ITVBe, hosted by Vic Hope. However, this didn’t return when the show returned in 2021.

Since then, there has been no spin-off for I’m A Celebrity.
