Two I'm A Celebrity legends 'set to return' for epic All Stars series
The I'm A Celebrity… South Africa all stars series is officially returning to ITV later in 2025—and not one but two legendary jungle stars are in talks to come back. Starting in 2024, I'm A Celebrity… South Africa reunites old campmates from the ITV game show. This time, however, they're trading the Australian jungle for the desert. Last series saw the likes of Shaun Ryder, Gillian McKeith, Helen Flanagan, Phil Tufnell, and Jordan Banjo giving up luxuries for a gruelling challenge once more. The competition was ultimately won by Myleene Klass, who had originally finished second during the show's sixth series almost 20 years ago… but now, two more famous faces are coming for her crown. According to reports, beloved King of the Jungle Harry Redknapp is close to signing on the dotted line with ITV bosses. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. As per The Sun, Harry, 78, who became the oldest-ever winner in 2018 and was paid £500,000 for his stint, will fly back out for round two in autumn before the series airs in the New Year. 'It's going to be a real coup,' a source told the paper. 'Harry is TV gold and was first on the list of wannabe celebrity contestants.' The football icon's win in the main series was watched by 11million people, with the nation reduced to tears as he was reunited with his wife, Sandra, on the bridge after, having frequently declared his love for her while in camp. Harry's first run for Jungle champ made him one of the programme's high earners, but the likes of Coleen Rooney and Nigel Farage still come out on top, having received a mega £1.5million for their signings. And Harry's people are remaining tight-lipped on his career plans currently, as a spokesperson for the sports star said in response to the rumours: 'This is speculation.' Meanwhile, there's another huge name already attached to the upcoming South Africa series… and it's Gemma Collins. The Towie star and TV personality, 44, is one of the most treasured personalities on British TV, and ITV is apparently hoping she'll boost viewing figures again this time around. Gemma infamously only managed three days in the Jungle when she was last on the show and made no secret of how much she hated every second. 'People who murder get treated better than this,' she famously said before quitting. 'That's the truth. Even a murderer gets fed three times a day.' Gemma's tears and tantrums gave social media a meme collection that still gets used today, so it's no surprise she's wanted back. A source told The Sun previously: 'She hated it first time round, but knows it would be TV gold for her fans if she gave it another go. 'The discussions could go either way, but signing her would be a huge win for execs.' For Gemma fans hoping she'll give I'm A Celebrity a second try, the recent rumours line up very nicely with comments the Dancing On Ice star made in 2019. Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, she said: 'I will never forget getting the call. Looking back, I don't feel I was ready for that show. I was new to TV; I was the underdog on Towie. 'I wasn't the best-looking girl, I didn't have a model figure, I was this car girl from Romford selling cars. I was being put in the Jungle, and in hindsight, I wasn't ready for it.' She continued: I felt hugely out of my depth—I was petrified. If I was to go back now, I've got more experience. I've got a tougher skin now, and I think that's where the GC came into play. If they asked me back, yes, I'd go back.' Things didn't get off to a good start when Gemma went into the jungle in 2014, firstly refusing to parachute into camp with the rest of her teammates. She then withdrew due to panic attacks and later said that her ex-boyfriend, Alexander Moss, had 'severely beaten' her the night before she joined. The reality star said that ITV advised against her entering at first, but Gemma insisted she didn't want to waste the opportunity of a lifetime. Alexander, now 44, was eventually jailed for 21 months in 2019. More Trending Gemma told the Everything I Know About Me podcast: '[There was] all the embarrassment of like, you know what the TV programmes were saying, 'Gemma Collins left the Jungle, she was hungry, she was this.' And it wasn't my fault. 'I can remember lying in my flat where I lived and just thinking, I just want to die. I haven't done anything wrong. I've left the Jungle because of something that happened to me.' ITV has been contacted for comment. I'm a Celebrity… South Africa will return to ITV1 and ITVX early next year. Got a story?

Liam Payne left emotional over Building The Band star's admission in final TV project
Liam Payne's final telly project, Building The Band, is airing on Netflix, and one admission from a contestant left the late singer feeling emotional on the set Liam Payne was lost for words after a contestant on Building The Band revealed his link to the late singer. Former One Direction star Liam filmed the Netflix show last year, just weeks before he tragically died. The Polaroid musician tragically died aged just 31 in October last year, having fallen from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He sustained injuries that were not compatible with life and was pronounced dead at the scene. But just weeks prior, Liam appeared in his element, working alongside his pal Nicole Scherzinger, who created his former band, and American chart-topper, Kelly Rowland, filming the show in Manchester, with his relatives even joining him for the process. A clip of the show sees the late musician left speechless when Australian contestant Mason Watts, who is part of the band Midnight Til Morning, revealed his unexpected connection to the band that Liam found fame in. "I just wanna say, Liam, when I was about 11 years old, my family won tickets from Australia," Mason said. He added: "My sisters were obsessed with you; they won flights for my whole family to sit front row at Madison Square Garden when I was a little kid. Ever since that moment, I wanted to be in a group. It's kind of a full-circle moment to be here with a group and be performing in front of you, so thank you, man." Shocked by the admission, Liam eventually said: "Thank you," before looking at the camera and sending a message to Mason's sisters. He said: "Hi sisters!" Mason went on to add: "Thank you man," with Liam adding: "Amazing, thank you so much." Fans watching the clip were also left emotional with one writing on social media: "That's so cool Mason, living your dream and performing for Liam Payne, what an amazing full circle moment!" A second asked: "Is he tearing up?," with one fan replying: "Yes he is, it means the world to him." Another fan commented: "I can't watch this. This breaks my heart into a million pieces. Life is so unfair. Liam is so kind. I met him back in the 1D days several times, and he was always one of the most appreciative and sweetest in the band. These promos for the show are making me so sad." "He was genuinely touched. I'm not into many celebs, but he was so clearly a salt of the earth kind of man, and it's gutting that he is gone," said another. Prior to the show airing last week, doubts had been raised about whether the show should move forward, but Nicole revealed that bosses had the blessing of Liam's relatives. She said: "Liam meant and means so much to all of us, and we were very obviously sensitive to the whole process. We ultimately left it in his family's hands and wanted to respect how they felt about everything and how to move forward. And his parents were there during the filming. They were amazing. It was so wonderful. "They were actually kind of sat right next to us through the whole process, and they've been with Liam and with us through this entire process. So to know that we had their blessing, to know that they were so proud of him on the show, they were like, 'Oh, yes, this is how we want everyone to remember Liam.'" Building The Band is available to stream on Netflix now.

John Torode returns to TV for first time since MasterChef sacking
John Torode has appeared on TV for the first time since being axed from MasterChef. Just days ago, it was confirmed that Torode, who began hosting the BBC cookery programme in 2005, would not have his contract renewed. He had been accused of using racist language, a complaint upheld as part of a wider investigation commissioned by production company Banijay into allegations of sexual harassment by co-host Gregg Wallace. Torode is said to have made the remarks in 2018 or 2019, but maintains that he has 'no recollection of the incident'. Today, the TV chef was back on screens alongside his wife, Lisa Faulkner. Torode, 59, and Faulkner, 53, married in 2019, and together they host John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen. The Saturday morning show has been on air for nine series, and it sees Torode and Faulkner invite guests to prepare simple dishes and share tips. And while there was undeniably an elephant in the room during the latest episode, neither Torode nor Faulkner addressed recent events. Instead, opening their first show following Torode's racism scandal, his partner said: 'Hi there, we are so happy to see you in our Weekend Kitchen.' John added: 'We're gonna make your day even happier. 'How do you like the sound of stunning but simple recipes with just homemade ingredients?' As viewers watched along at home, reactions to ITV's decision to air Weekend Kitchen amid the drama were split, with @naked_auditor writing on X that the channel has 'shown an astonishing lack of judgement'. But speaking ahead of the episode going out at 11:40am today, an ITV insider claimed that it was still business as usual for them. 'I think we will keep going with the show,' said the source. 'We don't know the details of the BBC issue and have never had any trouble with him ourselves.' The source added: 'We obviously have our own complaints handling procedure and a code of conduct for talent at ITV. 'There have been no issues raised with John, so the series is set to continue to air.' On Monday night, it was confirmed that Torode was the subject of an allegation of using racist language that was upheld as part of a review carried out by law firm Lewis Silkin. It is currently unknown what Torode said that led to the Beeb letting him go, although there have been reports of him using the N-word previously. Meanwhile, BBC director-general Tim Davie had earlier condemned the term that the Australian-born presenter was alleged to have used this time. Details of the circumstances leading up to Torode's sacking revealed that the cook had nine complaints against him in total, including racist language, abusive language to junior production staff, and sexual language. Taking to his Instagram Story earlier in the week, Torode reiterated that he could not remember using a racist term, claiming to have learned from reading media reports about his 'sacking'. But he also acknowledged that 'it's time to pass the cutlery to someone else'. On Tuesday night, he penned: 'Although I haven't heard from anyone at the BBC or Banijay – I am seeing and reading that I've been 'sacked' from MasterChef and I repeat that I have no recollection of what I'm accused of. 'The enquiry could not even state the date or year of when I am meant to have said something wrong. 'I'd hoped that I'd have some say in my exit from a show I've worked on since its relaunch in 2005, but events in last few days seem to have prevented that [sic]'. Torode added that Celebrity MasterChef and two Christmas specials, which he recently filmed, 'will be [his] last'. It remains to be seen whether they will make it to air. He went on: 'Personally, I have loved every minute working on MasterChef, but it's time to pass the cutlery to someone else. For whoever takes over, love it as I have. 'I will watch fondly from afar as I now focus on the many other exciting projects that I have been working towards. My tummy will be grateful for a rest after 20 years of eating, but what a joy it has been.' During an interview with BBC News earlier on Tuesday, Davie said he was not directly involved with the matter but was told of the recommendation to not renew Torode's contract and was 'happy that the team were taking action'. Asked exactly what Torode said, Davie replied: 'I'm not going to give you the exact term, because I think, frankly, it was a serious racist term, which does not get to be acceptable in any way, shape, or form.' As for Wallace, the 63-year-old also no longer has a future with the BBC. More Trending On Monday morning, the investigation findings were published, showing that 45 out of 83 allegations against Wallace were substantiated. This included one allegation of 'unwelcome physical contact.' Wallace posted a statement after the probe's discoveries were released, saying he was 'deeply sorry for any distress caused', stating that 'none of the serious allegations against [him] were upheld'. MasterChef viewers still await an official announcement on who will replace the original hosts, who have had the gig for 20 years. With speculation rife, it has been said that Saturday Kitchen's Matt Tebbutt, 51, and Great British Menu host Andi Oliver, 62, are the frontrunners. A report by law firm Lewis Silkin found there were 27 substantiated claims against Wallace relating to alleged incidents during this period, most of which related to sexually explicit comments. One allegation of unwanted physical contact during this timeframe was also substantiated. The report found that when concerns were reported to the production company during this period, there was a failure to retain records of any action taken. The report found that 17 upheld allegations relate to this period. In 2015, the production company behind MasterChef investigated an allegation about Wallace's behaviour, but he was not made aware of the complaint. The following year, the production company merged with Endemol, and more formal policies, regular training, and anonymous reporting lines were introduced. The BBC intervened in response to a complaint in 2017, following which Wallace was warned of the need to change his behaviour. One substantiated complaint about an inappropriate comment fell into this period. Wallace faced allegations of inappropriate sexual comments from 13 people across a range of shows over 17 years, BBC News reported. The TV star stepped away from presenting MasterChef while Banijay, the show's production company, announced that it was conducting an external review to 'fully and impartially investigate' the claims. BBC News said allegations include the presenter 'talking openly about his sex life, taking his top off in front of a female worker saying he wanted to "give her a fashion show", and telling a junior female colleague he was not wearing any boxer shorts under his jeans'. The charity Ambitious About Autism said it had dropped Wallace as an ambassador, citing the 'recent allegations'. Banijay UK confirmed it appointed law firm Lewis Silkin to lead the investigation into Wallace's alleged behaviour. Wallace said in a video posted to Instagram that accusations about him making sexual comments towards staff and guests have come from 'middle-class women of a certain age'. Downing Street said Wallace's response to the accusations being made against him was 'inappropriate and misogynistic'. A spokesperson added that Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy had held talks with BBC bosses in the wake of the Wallace row. Following the backlash, Wallace apologised for any 'offence' or 'upset' he caused with his remarks and said he would 'take some time out'. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said politicians should be ready to put in place 'mechanisms' that would instil 'confidence' that women will be taken seriously in reports of inappropriate behaviour after a Labour MP asked him about 'women of a certain age', reflecting comments Wallace apologised for. MasterChef co-presenter John Torode said in a social media post that he 'loves being part of' the programme and 'will continue to be a part of it'. Wallace told the Daily Mail he 'thought about suicide all the time' after allegations of misconduct were made against him. Wallace was sacked as MasterChef presenter following the inquiry into his alleged misconduct by production company Banijay. BBC News said it had not seen the final review from Banijay but understood the presenter had been sacked. In an Instagram post, the former greengrocer claimed he had been cleared of the 'most serious and sensational accusations' ahead of the published review. He also said he recognised that some of his humour and language were inappropriate 'at times' and apologised for this. The report by law firm Lewis Silkin for Banijay is published. It says that a total of 45 out of the 83 allegations made against Wallace during his time on the show were substantiated, including one allegation of 'unwelcome physical contact'. It concludes that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Mr Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour', adding that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated'. In the wake of the report's findings, Banijay say that 'Wallace's return to MasterChef (is) untenable'.
