Joel Dommett can\'t believe \'Extra Camp\' wasn\'t axed sooner.
The 34-year-old comedian has presented the \'I\'m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!\' spin-off for the last two years and he admitted that he is shocked it lasted until this year before ITV bosses dumped it.
Joel told The Sun newspaper: "It\'s a real shame, but I can\'t believe it didn\'t happen previously. It was clearly the most expensive after-show on television - and sadly after- shows are slowly dying off."

However, Joel is worried that new faces will have a hard time breaking in to TV now that it has been axed.
Joel, who hosted the latest season alongside Emily Attack and Adam Thomas - said: "I genuinely worry about how they are going to get newer names into the channel away from comedy shows.Panel shows are quite a scary place to be and \'Extra Camp\' was brilliant because you\'re in at the deep end."
Joel appeared on \'I\'m A Celeb\' as a contestant in 2016, finishing second, and he thinks it was one of the best career decisions he ever made.
He said: "It was a real risk because comedians didn\'t do it. If you did, comics would label you a \'sell-out\'. I was starting to get known for my Edinburgh shows and comics, especially, were saying, \'That\'s the worst decision, what is he doing?\'
"But I just felt like it was good for me. I\'m an upbeat guy, I\'m not like a lot of comics who are a bit depressive -- and it really paid off."
