Tommy Fury pulls out of I’m a Celebrity just weeks before start date

Tommy Fury is no longer taking part in this year's I'm a Celebrity

There are just weeks to go until it returns to our screens, but Fury has reportedly quit already.

According to reports, the dad stepped away from the project because of a rematch between him and KSI.

Fury was "in talks with ITV producers for months" but dropped out just weeks before flying to Australia.

An insider told The Sun:

"Bosses are surprised Tommy has chosen to pull out of I'm A Celebrity at this late stage as it would have been a great opportunity for him too.

"Thankfully, the execs already had some great names waiting in the wings so they'll now be looking at which ones fit best into the line up already booked so they can deliver a truly great series."

Fury may be a big name to lose, but sources say the team has lined up "one of the most exciting casts in the show's history".

ITV has confirmed the new series of I'm a Celebrity will air on Sunday, November 17th.
