‘I’m a celebrity…get me cut of here!’ According to the latest reports, Australia had an official run of 12 seasons before it was cancelled. The beloved reality show will not be airing in 2027 after the latest season aired this year in the early months. The reason behind the cut has been deemed to be financial struggles.The series, which was inspired by the UK series of the same name, is finally coming to an end. Earlier this year, the final season of the famed reality show aired; however, at the time, there had only been speculation about whether it would make a comeback next year.Metro confirmed that Channel 10, which hosts the show, has officially axed the show and that this year’s season was the last one. A statement from the report read, “We have made the decision to rest I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2027 as we focus on offering our audience a range of content on all platforms. We look forward to working with Julia Morris and Robert Irwin on other projects.”The Australia chapter of the series was hosted by reality TV stars and comedians Robert Irwin and Julia Morris, and was filmed in South Africa.
