Sam said: “I am not joking, it is the best show on TV.
“Being a part of it, then being on the other side, is a dream come true.”
Joel added it was a “real privilege” to be a part of I’m A Celeb.
We previously told how the sister series will run alongside the main show, with several hosts.
It will offer viewers inside gossip and entertainment on the all-star campmates.
Joel confirmed the show would see chats with hosts Ant and Dec every day as well as juicy interviews with campmates.

The last presenters to have fronted the spin-off, alongside Joel, were Emily Atack and Adam Thomas.

“This new ITV2 companion show will bring together all those conversations in one place, to give viewers the ultimate IAC destination for all of their news, gossip and behind-the-scenes fun around TV’s biggest entertainment show.â€
A source said: “There is a huge buzz around I’m A Celeb this year and everyone wants the mischief of Extra Camp to return as well.
