“I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here” is getting a brand new, challenging spin-off with Stephen Mulhern as presenter.

In a surprising tie-in, ITV has combined its jungle reality show with the game show Deal Or No Deal.

This means that a number of Ant and Dec’s favourite I’m A Celeb contestants will be taking on Stephen’s famous red boxes and trying to win. Money for charitable purposes.

The special episode will be part of the game show’s new season – the second with Stephen as host after he succeeds Noel Edmonds in 2023.

There will also be three more celebrity expenses, ITV announced yesterday.

In Deal or No Deal, contestants open the famous red boxes and try to win a life-changing cash prize in a nerve-racking game that relies on thrill and intuition. But the Banker stands in their way, ready to unsettle, seduce and trick our players.

The tension in the studio is increasing: Who will have what it takes to beat the banker?

With the successful launch of Deal or No Deal in 2023 on ITV1 and ITVX, the critically acclaimed series reached an incredible 14 million viewers (13.7 million) across all devices.

The series was streamed five million times and the first season was 38% above average compared to the broadcast time average.

The new season aired every weekday at 4pm on ITV and was part of the popular late afternoon/early evening game show schedule.

Last year, both footballer Michael Owen and Coronation Street actor Simon Gregson took part in the show’s prime-time celebrity specials.
