TV favourite Alison Hammond is reportedly preparing to head Down Under — 15 years after first braving the jungle — for a sensational return to the I’m A Celebrity universe.

The This Morning presenter, 50, is said to be flying to Australia later this month to appear on the hit show’s spin-off series “Unpacked”, where she’ll share her hilarious take on this year’s lineup and the chaos inside camp.

According to The Sun, an insider revealed:

“Alison is a national treasure, and bosses are thrilled to get her on board. Her trademark charm and infectious humour are guaranteed to be a hit. She’ll only be away for about a week, so This Morning won’t miss her too much.”

The Daily Mail contacted Alison’s representatives for comment.

📺 Meanwhile, another This Morning regular has caused last-minute chaos for the 2025 I’m A Celeb lineup — Nick Ferrari, 66, reportedly pulled out of talks just before signing his contract.

The veteran broadcaster had been in discussions with ITV, but his bosses at LBC, where he hosts Nick Ferrari at Breakfast, intervened to stop him jetting off to the jungle.

According to reports, the radio station offered to match his ITV paycheck to keep him on air.

“Nick is a key part of the LBC schedule, and they didn’t want to lose him for up to six weeks,” a source told The Sun. “Global really flexed its muscles to keep their man — and Nick ended up with a well-deserved pay rise out of it.”

The Daily Mail reached out to both Nick’s team and LBC for comment.

Despite the grueling Bushtucker Trials ahead, the 45-year-old model appeared in high spirits, flashing a bright smile as she became the first celebrity to set off Down Under.

Kelly opted for a casual yet luxe travel look — a brown fitted tracksuit paired with £1,000 Chanel sandals and a matching £6,000 handbag. She completed the outfit with oversized sunglasses as airport staff helped her manage her mountain of luggage.

With filming days away and stars already en route, this year’s I’m A Celebrity promises major drama, big personalities, and an unforgettable mix of jungle chaos and laughter.
