THE recently announced I’m a Celeb All Stars show has been dealt a blow already after a major star turned it down – live on TV.
We revealed last night that legendary stars from previous series have been invited back for a pre-recorded show in South Africa.
But one person who won’t be joining them is This Morning host Alison Hammond.
During Friday’s episode of the ITV show Alison, 47, was quizzed by co-host Dermot O’Leary on whether or not she’d take part.
He asked: “Would you do it, Alison? Again? Because it was quite tough.”
Alison replied: “What, the All Stars? Oh nah, I don’t think I would do it.”
Former Big Brother star Alison, who entered the jungle in 2010, opened up on what she found the hardest, adding: “For me, just not being able to go and have a shower whenever I wanted.”
The Sun revealed that the All Stars series is expected to air in 2023 and this time the celebs will have a say in who does the trials thanks to in-camp voting.
Those likely to be asked back include Jungle Kings and Queens including Gino D’Acampo, Shaun Ryder and Vicky Pattison.
It will be filmed in Kruger National Park where, ironically, the Aussie version of the show is shot.

Today we told how Katie Price – who appeared in both the 2004 and 2009 series of the show – is “desperate” to be involved in the All Stars version.
The former glamour model reposted The Sun’s exclusive announcing the news and added: “Yes get me in.”
A source added: “As soon as she knew it was happening Katie was straight on the phone to ITV.
“She loved being on the show and now it’s pre-recorded she won’t get voted to do all the trials like her second stint on the show.”
