Ex On The Beach in huge format shake-up as show DUMPS celebs from line up
EX On The Beach will undergo a huge cast shake-up, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
We can report the iconic MTV series will ditch famous faces in favour of "explosive" civilian contestants when the next season airs.
A source told The Sun: “The last two series of the show have featured all celebrity casts but bosses really felt like now was the time for the show to go back to its roots.
“They have already shot a new run with regular people and they are really excited for the audience to see it. It's really explosive.
"The original non-celeb show created some real stars like Ashley Cain, Megan McKenna and Chloe Goodman who went on to become breakout reality stars, so they're hoping for the same."
The show sees singletons flirt up a storm in a sun-soaked location - yet their exes always appear at different stages of the experiment in an attempt to wreak havoc.

The Sun has contacted Ex On The Beach reps for comment.
The last regular series of the show, series nine, hit screens in 2018.
Series 10 did not air due to the sad death of ex Love Island star Mike Thalassitis.
Mike had taken part in filming for Ex on the Beach, which was due to air on MTV later that year.

Mike, who shot to fame on the 2017 series of the ITV2 dating show, had also suffered a painful split from his Towie star ex-girlfriend Megan McKenna prior to his passing.
A statement from MTV at the time of Mike’s death in 2019, said: “We were very sad to hear the tragic news and our thoughts are with his family and friends."
A TV source then added: “It looked like the show might have been over for good when it didn’t come back, but that isn’t the case.
You're Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society - from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let's all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others... You're Not Alone.
