The upcoming ITV spin-off of the “I’m A Celebrity” franchise, titled *The Wild Frontier*, has encountered disruption after Tyson Fury’s daughter, Venezuela, and her husband, Noah Price, withdrew from the series shortly after filming began. The pair, aged 16 and 18 respectively, left due to the harsh living conditions and challenging environment while filming in the Canadian wilderness.
Insiders revealed that Venezuela and Price decided to quit over the weekend, acknowledging that the physical and mental demands proved overwhelming. A source explained that while both contestants initially committed fully, the difficulty of the challenges and the rough conditions ultimately led them to abandon the competition early.
The series, hosted by Ant and Dec, is scheduled to air next year and is inspired by the original “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” format filmed in Australia. This version features celebrities paired up to tackle a series of demanding outdoor tasks in a rugged wilderness setting intended to test their endurance and teamwork.
The departure of Venezuela and Price has prompted producers to bring in replacements to maintain the show's dynamic. ITV has enlisted 2025 Love Island winner Toni Laites and her close friend Marielle to join the lineup. Sources indicate that Laites, who has quickly become a notable figure at ITV following her Love Island victory and subsequent hosting of the show’s vodcast, welcomed the opportunity to participate. She is expected to bring resilience and determination to the competition.
The cast also includes well-known figures such as former footballer Rio Ferdinand and his wife Kate, pop singer Louise Redknapp and her brother Joe Nurding, and ex-boyband members Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy.
The production’s location has sparked safety concerns following a recent bear attack near the camp. A female trekker was reportedly mauled by an adult black bear and required hospitalization, leading to the installation of warning signs around the site. Authorities subsequently euthanized the bear involved in the incident as a safety measure for both contestants and crew.
The show’s producers have expressed confidence that despite the early exit of two participants, *The Wild Frontier* will deliver compelling television that highlights the physical and mental trials faced by celebrities in extreme environments.
