Georgia Toffolo is reportedly set to become the first I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! winner in six years not to hand their crown over to the new champion.
The reality star was crowned Queen of the Jungle last year and is set to be the first winner to miss the series finale in six years.
In 2017, the 24-year-old was handed the crown by Coronation Street‘s Jennie McAlpine, who had won the previous year.
Toff is reportedly set to stop the ongoing ‘tradition’ this year though, as she is going jet off to Australia for I’m a Celebrity: Extra Camp this week, instead of at the end of the show.
“Toff is due to fly out to Australia this week, for a stint on Extra Camp. But she’ll be flying back after that, to the UK. There’s still about another week of the show left, after she returns. And there aren’t plans for her to go back again,” an insider told MailOnline.
“This means she won’t be there to personally crown whoever wins this current season.”
Another source said that the passing on of the crown was never a tradition, but just a simply coincidence over the past six years: “It only happened the past two years because Scarlett Moffatt and Vicky Pattison were there as ITV2 presenters.”
“And it only happened the two years previous to that because Carl Fogerty and Charlie Brooks were there as ITV2 guests. ITV2 no longer have celebrity UK guests on its final few shows as they have the evicted celebs and friends and family on set instead – this has happened for quite a few years now.”
