John Barrowman to co-host I’m a Celebrity: Extra Camp with Emily Atack?

John Barrowman is reportedly in talks to co-host ‘I’m a Celebrity: Extra Camp’ with Emily Atack.
Following the news that Scarlet Moffatt and Joe Swash quit the ITV2 show, it was reported that the former ‘Inbetweeners’ actress was being eyed for the role alongside Joel Dommett, who is staying put on the show, after winning over the nation with her "bubbly personality" during her stint in the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Of Of Here!’ jungle last year.
And now an insider has claimed Emily is set to be reunited with her campmate from the 2018 series – which saw Harry Redknapp crowned King of the Jungle – on the spin-off programme.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: "Producers loved John and Emily together last year and were looking for formats for them once they left Australia.
"When the chance to do ‘Extra Camp’ came up ITV bosses thought it made sense.
"Joel can hold it together, as he’s done the show before, and the newbies can bring their own madness to the table. It’s all but a done deal."
Joe announced his departure from ‘Extra Camp’ after a decade to spend more time with his family after he and Stacey Solomon welcomed their first child together, Rex, in May.
The father-of-two – who also has 12-year-old son Harry with his ex-fiancee Emma Sophocleous – wrote on Instagram: "I can’t believe I’m about to say this … For 10 incredible years I’ve been lucky enough to host my favourite show on telly. I don’t want to miss a second with Stacey and our amazing boys so 3 months in Australia just seems too [much] to bare this year."
And ‘Gogglebox’ star Scarlett – who joined the spin-off show in 2017, after being crowned Queen of the Jungle the year before – revealed she is working on a mystery project with her family.
