Kerry Katona, the previous winner of “I’m A Celebrity,” was reportedly not selected by ITV for the All Stars series due to concerns over her candid nature that might surprise viewers. Despite her past success on the show in 2004, ITV is cautious about maintaining audience satisfaction in the current landscape.

The 45-year-old mother of five, known for her appearances on various reality programs, missed out on the 2023 All Stars series and the ongoing season. Sources reveal that Kerry’s name has been considered multiple times, but decision-makers are hesitant. Her public life, marked by divorces, financial struggles, and addiction issues, makes her an open book for discussions.

An insider from The Sun disclosed that although Kerry is beloved by the “I’m a Celeb” team, the show’s dynamics have evolved, necessitating careful choices to please viewers. Kerry’s outspoken personality and unpredictability pose challenges for producers, particularly in a show filmed well in advance.

Despite the setback with ITV, Kerry is rumored to star in her own reality TV show following the success of her previous program. The Mirror reached out to ITV and Kerry’s representative for comments.

Kerry herself has expressed disappointment at being overlooked by the show, citing her willingness to participate despite the challenges. Bosses are wary of Kerry’s unfiltered nature and the potential risks associated with her post-show remarks.
