The 31-year-old TV presenter is to front 'I’m A Celebrity... The Daily Drop', a 30-minute programme which will air on ITV2 the morning after each episode of the main show.

A TV insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "Even though they have already got a lot to contend with getting the main show ready, bosses wanted some kind of companion for 'I’m A Celeb'. But they wanted one with a new twist.

"And part of that is signing up Vick, who is seen as a star still in the ascent and a breath of fresh air."

Vick will host the programme from a virtual studio, and like with former spin-off show, 'I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp', the new series will feature a celebrity panel discussing the goings on from the main show.

Joel Dommett, who presented 'Extra Camp' alongside Emily Atack and Adam Thomas, revealed in January the programme had been axed.

He wrote: "Sad news - The time has unfortunately come to put Extra Camp to bed in its uncomfortable hammock. The show will no longer continue. It’s been a huge privilege to be a part a show with such a rich history filled with amazing hosts. (sic)"

Joel also joked that ITV bosses told him he was the "sexiest presenter" to have ever been on the programme, but added the show was being axed because it is "expensive" and the channel are planning to use the funds for "more prime-time slots".

He added: "The producers have assured me that @emilyatackofficial @adamthomas21 and myself are not to blame - they said the show was better than ever and also that Joel is the sexiest presenter we have ever had (I wasn’t listening but it was something like that) - it is simply because it’s expensive given how late it’s on and the funds will be used in more prime time slots. I’ve told them that Adam will do it for free but the decision is made. Thank you to all the crew who have made this the most wonderful 3 years, you have shaped me as a person and presenter. I’ve learnt so much. Thank you to everyone for watching #extracamp (sic)"
