I’m A Celeb bosses plan most extravagant launch show ever after blowing £21MILLION on ten-bedroom mega mansion
I’M A Celebrity bosses have blown the budget on a £21million mega mansion fit for Wag royalty Coleen Rooney to help launch the upcoming series.
Reality show executives have booked the ten-bedroom Diamond Head estate.
ITV is expected to use the property for the show’s big opening episode in Australia later this month with hosts Ant and Dec.
And Coleen, 38, should feel at home after agreeing a £1.5million deal to appear in the jungle.
Diamond Head in Palm Beach, Queensland, was previously owned by MotoGP champ Mick Doohan and sold for £21million in 2022.
It has a private runway, helipad and boat jetty and boasts a cinema and wine cellar with 2,000 bottles.
Celebs who have enjoyed its luxury include actors Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp, who severed his finger during a heated row there with then wife Amber Heard in 2015.
A TV source said: “Diamond Head is one of Australia’s priciest properties so will suit Coleen down to the ground.
“The new location will bring showbiz sparkle to the series and the I’m A Celebrity team are finalising details about how exactly the property will be used and for how long.”
Last year’s opener saw politician Nigel Farage, This Morning host Josie Gibson and YouTube star Nella Rose dumped in the middle of the outback in scorching heat.
A show source said: “Bosses are determined to pull out all the stops for this year’s launch and make it as visually spectacular as ever.
“Viewers can expect lots of surprises and everyone’s very excited about the celebrities lined up for the new series — it’s going to be must-see TV.”
Coleen is set to be joined by ex-Strictly dance star Oti Mabuse, Corrie’s Alan Halsall and singer Tulisa Contostavlos.
