Fan-Favourite I'm A Celebrity Spin-Off Axed After One Episode

Fan-Favourite I'm A Celebrity Spin-Off Axed After One Episode

The highly anticipated spin-off of I'm A Celebrity, featuring Reverend Richard Coles and GK Barry, has reportedly been put on hold indefinitely.

There were initially high hopes for the project, as producers were excited by the dynamic between the two, which seemed to amuse viewers during their time on the ITV series.

The pair formed an unexpected bond on the show, with producers looking forward to exploring their interactions and conversations about deep subjects.

However, after provisional filming took place, it was decided not to proceed with the series, much to the disappointment of everyone involved.

GK Barry has previously discussed the ill-fated show, saying that it would explore walks of life from two different generations.

The content creator also joked that she would wrangle her girlfriend, Ella Rutherford, into the show if it made it to the full series.

Meanwhile, Reverend Richard Coles seemed optimistic about the strength of their bond, saying that they struck up the best of friendships in the jungle.

It's unclear exactly what put execs off pursuing the idea, but it seems that their deep conversations about coffins will not be making it to air anytime soon.

During their time on I'm A Celebrity, viewers were especially tickled by GK's attempt to offer an eye-opening sex education lesson for Richard.

The spin-off's cancellation has left fans disappointed, but it's unclear what the future holds for the project.

Metro has reached out to ITV, GK Barry, and Reverend Richard Coles' representatives for comment, but so far, there has been no response.
