JOEL Dommett is returning to I'm A Celebrity to co-host spin-off show Extra Camp, The Sun's Bizarre column can exclusively reveal.
The hunky comedian, 31, who came runner-up in last year's series, will join reigning Queen of the jungle Scarlett Moffatt, 26, after Stacey Solomon and boyfriend Joe Swash were dropped from the programme.
The shake-up comes after Vicky Pattison and Chris Ramsay were also previously axed by bosses.
A TV source said: “Show bosses wanted to refresh the format and give it a new lease of life.
“They feel Scarlett and Joel have great on-screen chemistry and they’re hoping the ratings will reflect that.
“They're a naturally funny pair together so the risk should pay off.”
A spokesman said: "We will announce our 2017 presenting line up in due course."
Scarlett has gone onto forge a presenting career on Channel 4’s Streetmate and had a starring role on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeover since winning the show.
And Joel has continued touring the country with his stand-up, as well as spending time with his model girlfriend Hannah Cooper.
I’m A Celebrity is scheduled to return to screens in November, with bosses currently scouting for star names to join the line-up for the hugely popular show.
