I'm A Celeb fans beg for a Sam and Tony spin-off show
They created a special bromance
Last updated 11th Dec 2023
He may have entered as a late arrival on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, but former professional boxer Tony Bellew certainly made an impact in camp, especially radio host and King of the Jungle, Sam Thompson!
The pair, who made it all the way to the final two together during the 2023 series, struck up a heartwarming friendship in camp, with Tony even revealing he feels like he's adopted another son.
After seeing their friendship blossom over the last few weeks, TV fans are now calling for Sam and Tony to land their very own spin-off show, especially after Tony invited Sam over for Christmas!
One wrote: 'I think a Sam and Tony spin off show with them going on an adventure would be sooooo funny', with another adding: 'We need a Sam and Tony spin off show…. road trip maybe? #ImACeleb'. (sic)
A third wrote: 'Please make a Spin off show for Sam and Tony @ITV', with a fourth commenting: 'If there isn’t a spin off show with Sam and Tony having their own show on any tv platform. They’ll be missing a trick if not 😂😂'. (sic)
Another added: 'I need a spin off with Sam and Tony travelling together I really do, their friendship on this years show is actually iconic 😂'. (sic)
And it sounds like fans may get their wish, as Tony was asked the question during an interview on Good Morning Britain this morning (Monday 11th December). When Susanna Reid asked the question, he said: "I don't know we will see, whatever Sam wants to do, I will do it."
