Vernon Kay shares real reason why he won't be doing I'm A Celebrity All Stars

Vernon Kay has confirmed he will not be taking part in the All Stars series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Father-of-two Vernon took part in the much-loved ITV show back in 2020 when it was based in Wales, and ended up making it to the final and finishing in third place.

It's been reported that the I’m A Celebrity All-Stars spin-off will see some popular faces return to the show in a brand new camp in South Africa, with contestants participating in terrifying trials and facing creepy critters.

An insider told The Mirror earlier this year that the spin-off is currently being planned to air in 2023, as former cast members mix with contestants from previous seasons of the show.

However, Vernon doesn't want to be on the line-up and on Tuesday's edition of This Morning, he explained why.

As he and his co-host Rochelle Humes discussed the latest headlines with Nick Ferrari and Camilla Tominey, the conversation soon turned to I'm A Celeb.

Speaking about the All Stars series, Rochelle told Vernon: "I mean they need you to go in there, you'd be the guy that they all need!"

Not looking keen at all, Vernon replied: "I don't wanna ruin my great time that I had in the castle in North Wales you know what I mean?

"That's why I wouldn't go back in because I've got happy memories of I'm A Celeb," he added.

"I will say, I had the best time ever on I'm A Celebrity, just waking up every morning to Shane Richie," Vernon continued, before saying: "I think this All Star version will be really interesting."

Rochelle then said: "But we love it, whoever's on, I'm watching!" as Vernon added: "Yeah, we're supporting it."

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITV Hub.
