I'm A Celebrity All Stars which was filmed in South Africa won't be returning this year despite being a huge hit with fans and featuring a star-studded cast.
ITV have decided to ditch the spin-off show for now, which aired in celebration of the main show I'm A Celebrity.. Get Me Out Of Here's 20th anniversary.
The show - which was pre-recorded and did not allow viewer voting - was won by Myleene Klass but also saw the return of Helen Flanagan, Joe Swash and Phil Tufnel.
In a switch up to the original format, the celebrities competed in trials to see who would be booted off the show, which was filmed in Kruger National Park.
A TV insider told the Sun: 'ITV have decided I'm A Celebrity South Africa will not return this year and there are currently no plans for another series.

'It may well return in the future so it's not necessarily gone for good, but it definitely won't be happening this year and there is nothing set in stone for when it will be.
'This will come as a disappointment to fans as Ant and Dec had previously hinted that it would be back and it was expected that it would be an annual thing.'
An ITV spokesperson confirmed: 'Im A Celebrity... South Africa was commissioned to air in 2023 to celebrate favourite campmates from the past 20 years as they returned to the jungle.
'The series was one of the biggest Entertainment shows of the year averaging 5.2m across its consecutive weeknight run and reaching over 1 million 16-34s for the launch episode. It was never planned for the series to return again this year.'
The series was filmed towards the end of 2022 and then aired the following year in April 2023.
Myleene was crowned I'm A Celebrity 'legend' after beating Jordan Banjo in a stomach-churning eating trial. During the challenge she ate 60 mouse tails and 40 spoons of fermented tofu.

Fatima Whitbread finished in third place while Phil Tufnell was fourth.
During the most recent series of the show, which is filmed in Australia, hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly teased a return of the spin-off.
Speaking on an Instagram Live, a fan asked the presenting duo if Ferne McCann could be on the next series.
Ant told the viewer: 'Ferne's already done it, she's already done it! But she could do South Africa when we do that. We could have her on that.'
He added: 'We must do a little South Africa list.'
