Vicky Pattison, Stacey Solomon, Joe Swash and Chris Ramsey CONFIRMED for I’m A Celebrity spin-off show
The stars will be taking over from Laura Whitmore
Vicky Pattison, Stacey Solomon, Joe Swash and Chris Ramsey have been announced as the new hosts of the I’m A Celebrity spin-off show – which has been renamed I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp.
The successors for Laura Whitmore were revealed by ITV alongside a new picture of the line-up, captioned: “This year @ITV2 returns with the newly named I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp, as well as a new gang of super fan presenters! #ImACeleb”.
The confirmation comes just days after The Sun On Sunday exclusively revealed that Geordie babe Vicky would be hosting the show – which was formerly called I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here Now!
A source said of Vicky , who won the show last year: “Vicky made no secret of the fact that she would love to replace Laura. But while she was always the front- runner, ITV took their time with the decision.
“It’s only very recently that they have said they want her. Now all that remains is the formality of signing the contract.
“Vicky is beyond excited and can’t wait to get started.”
Meanwhile Joe, who is a long standing host on the show, will be joining his girlfriend Stacey Solomon down under.

The pair famously first met back in 2010 when Joe was presenting the spin-off show and Stacey was a guest on it.
Speaking about the gig, he said: "I’m a Celebrity is always my most favourite time of the year. I cannot wait to be back at my second home with a new gang of people. As always I’m sure this series will be the best one yet."
While Chris, who is a well-know comedian from South Shields, said of the role: "I'm a big fan of I'm A Celeb. I watch and talk about it every year, so it will be a delight to do it as a job this year in Australia! And it’s an absolute bonus that I won't have to taste kangaroo anus."
