I'm A Celebrity Jungle Challenge suspends 'king or queen of the jungle' titles

The popular I'm a Celebrity Jungle Attraction at Salford Quays has suspended the use of "king or queen of the jungle" titles for contestants as a "mark of respect" to The Queen. The live action experience, based on the hit ITV I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here show, sees entrants compete across a number of challenges in a bid to become crowned "king or queen of the jungle".

But after the death of the monarch last week, and the resulting period of national mourning, bosses at the Jungle Challenge have temporarily removed any references to Kings, Queens or wider royalty within the attraction.

The site will also close to the public on the Bank Holiday Monday, September 19, when The Queen's funeral will take place in London.
