The spin-off of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here has had a difficult time during filming. The show, called I'm A Celebrity: The Wild Frontier, is set in the remote Callaghan Valley in Canada and is hosted by Ant and Dec. It features celebrities facing challenging tasks in the wilderness, such as abseiling and overnight challenges known as "Bear Watch." One of the trials involved celebrities jumping from cranes into the Pacific Ocean, but this was disrupted when a former crew member blocked the activity over a disagreement about payment. The individual anchored his boat under the cranes, forcing producers to negotiate a resolution to continue filming.
The production faced more difficulties recently when the camp was put under "lockdown" after a bear attack in the nearby area. A female hiker was taken to the hospital by helicopter, and a black bear found at the site was killed due to safety concerns. Authorities closed public access to the area, which is just 30 minutes from the celebrities' camp.
Soon after, Venezuela Fury and her husband Noah Price left the show shortly after filming began. According to a source speaking to The Sun, they realized early on that the challenges and living conditions were too tough. They left despite trying their best. In their place, Toni Laites, the 2025 Love Island winner, and her best friend Marielle have reportedly been brought in to continue filming.
The show's format includes celebrity pairings such as Rio Ferdinand and Kate Ferdinand, Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy, and Christopher Dean and Karen Barber. In a promotional video, Ant and Dec hinted at the show's location in Canada and warned that "danger lurks around every corner," with bears being a major threat. Metro has reached out to ITV for a response to this story.
