Plans for a new spin-off series featuring Reverend Richard Coles and GK Barry from the popular ITV show I'm A Celebrity have reportedly been scrapped.
The pair's dynamic and unexpected bond during their time on the show had generated high hopes for the new project, with producers excited about the contrast between the wise older man and the streetwise millennial.
Provisional filming had taken place, but it was ultimately decided not to proceed with the series, much to the disappointment of everyone involved.
GK Barry had previously expressed enthusiasm for the show, describing it as an opportunity to explore walks of life from two different generations, with a mix of deep subjects and humor.
She had even joked about bringing her girlfriend, Ella Rutherford, onto the show if it made it to the full series.
Richard Coles, too, had seemed optimistic about the project, describing their friendship as a deep and meaningful connection that extended beyond their time in the jungle.
The exact reason for the decision not to pursue the series is unclear, but it appears that their conversations about life and death, including a reference to coffins, will not be making it to air.
During their time on I'm A Celebrity, viewers had been entertained by GK's attempts to offer Richard an eye-opening sex education lesson, which had sparked laughter and surprise from the audience.
The decision not to proceed with the series has left many disappointed, but it remains to be seen what other projects the pair may be working on in the future.
The representatives of ITV, GK Barry, and Reverend Richard Coles have been approached for comment, but so far, no official statement has been made.
