It will be filmed in Canada
With 2027 marking a huge 25 years of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, ITV/STV bosses are making big plans to celebrate, including a new spin-off series called The Wild Frontier.
Set to be filmed later this year for a 2027 release, I’m A Celeb The Wild Frontier will be filmed in Canada, with bosses scoping out an appropriate location.
Who is rumoured for the I’m A Celeb spin-off?
With the news that the new spin-off will feature pairs of celebs, rumours have now begun about which famous faces will take part.
According to The Sun, The Wild Frontier will see Westlife’s Brian McFadden and Boyzone’s Keith Duffy pair up, with reports suggesting they’ve each signed a £100,00 contract.
A source told the publication: “Bosses are delighted that Keith and Brian will be taking part, they’ll each bring a lot of fun and mischief to the camp.
“The casting team are hopeful they can cast celebrity duos, but may also include some stars and their non-famous family members or partners.”

Although ITV/STV bosses are yet to officially announce the new series or cast, it’s understood Geordie duo Ant and Dec will host the show.
Of course, this won’t be the first I’m A Celeb spin-off series, in 2023, bosses launched I’m A Celeb: South Africa, which featured former stars from the main show.
The spin-off then returned earlier this year, starring the likes of David Haye, Adam Thomas, Scarlett Moffatt, Sir Mo Farah, Gemma Collins and Jimmy Bullard.
In what was one of the most dramatic series to date, the live final was thrown into chaos, with David Haye later threatening to sue ITV/STV.
Reports are rife I’m A Celeb: South Africa won’t become a yearly fixture to the TV schedule, meaning it won’t air in 2027.
A show insider said: “The aim was never for it to be made or be on air in 2027, even though there may be an appetite for that right now. The aim was to deliver something as a special show that was on from time to time, not an annual revisit like the main I’m A Celebrity show.”
