I'M A Celeb bosses are hunting for new presenters for the Get Me Out of Here Now! spin-off after "losing" the usual trio of hosts.
Married couple Matt Willis and Emma Griffiths are stepping down - while Mark Durden-Smith has been axed.
Ex-model Emma, 33, and Matt, 26, fronted the ITV2 show live from Australia for two years.
But they are expecting their first child next week and no longer want to travel.
A Get Me Out Of Here Now! spokesman said: "Matt and Emma will be new parents and won't be going so viewers can expect some exciting new changes." The show's UK-based host Mark Durden-Smith, 40, is out of a job as part of the overhaul.
The source said: "With Matt and Emma going it's a chance to rip up the format and start again. Mark understands and has done a good job over the years."
New faces are now being sought for the spin-off, which airs nightly after the main ITV1 show. Ex-GMTV face Michael Underwood and his girlfriend Angellica Bell are in the frame.
Last year's stars David Van Day and Timmy Mallett have also been punted as a great comedy duo - provided they are banned from singing.
I'm A Celeb...kicks off in November for three weeks.

I'd bet my life on Myleene Klass getting the job. She seems to get first refusal on everything anyway, has been on our British one like a lot of our ITV2 presenters and is obviously doing the American one atm
