Alison Hammond is heading back to the jungle — well, almost! The beloved TV presenter is reportedly gearing up for a triumphant return to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! as part of the show’s new spin-off series, Unpacked, marking 15 years since her original appearance.
According to The Sun, Alison, 50, will fly to Australia later this month to share her trademark wit and warmth as she joins the spin-off panel dissecting the chaos of the latest season. An insider revealed that ITV bosses are “thrilled to have her back,” calling her “a national treasure whose humour and positivity light up any screen.”
“She’ll only be away for a week, so This Morning won’t miss her too much,” the source added, hinting that Hammond’s jungle reunion will be short but unforgettable.
Alison first took part in the main show back in 2010 as a late entry, charming viewers with her big personality and fearless attitude. Now, 15 years later, she’s back to offer her take on the new batch of celebrity campers — and fans can’t wait.
Her upcoming TV trip comes amid a storm of drama surrounding this year’s I’m A Celebrity line-up. Earlier this week, This Morning colleague Nick Ferrari reportedly “threw the show into chaos” after pulling out of talks to join the jungle at the very last minute — following an intervention from his LBC bosses, who matched ITV’s fee to keep him on air.
Meanwhile, model Kelly Brook has already been spotted jetting off to Australia, flashing a huge smile at Heathrow in a chic £1,000 Chanel tracksuit and matching £6,000 handbag as she prepares to brave the Bushtucker Trials.
With Alison returning to add her signature sparkle to the spin-off and big names like Kelly in the main lineup, this year’s I’m A Celebrity is shaping up to be one of the wildest yet.
