I’M A Celebrity spin-off The Wild Frontier has been thrown into chaos after Tyson Fury’s daughter Venezuela quit days into filming.
Insiders confirmed that the 16-year-old and her husband Noah Price, 18, had thrown in the towel amid brutal conditions in the Canadian wilderness.

It comes after The Sun revealed a female trekker had been mauled by a bear close to where the celeb contestants were camped.
A source said: “Venezuela and Noah quit over the weekend after admitting they didn’t want to carry on.
“They both realised early on it was too much. The challenges are tough, the living conditions aren’t easy. They both gave it their best shot but when push came to shove, it all got too much and they walked out.
“It’s going to make for amazing television but it’s caused a headache for producers.”
Bosses at ITV have now brought in two back-up stars, 2025 Love Island victor Toni Laites and her best friend Marielle.
A source said: “Toni has become a real rising star at ITV after winning Love Island and then hosting the show’s vodcast. She felt like the perfect person to step in — and she’s been a huge fan of I’m A Celebrity for years so she jumped at the chance.
“She has a lot of grit and determination and will show that when she starts filming.”
I’m A Celebrity . . . The Wild Frontier will be hosted by Ant and Dec, and is to be screened next year.
