Back in July, CEETV reported that TNT Russia is shooting a new reality show billed Stars in Africa in South Africa. Now, it is clear that this is the local version of I’m a Celebrity.

ITV Studios confirmed today that it has sold the rights to the format to TNT and the Russian version will premiere this fall.

Lika Blank, Creative Producer at TL Vision, said: “We put together a gutsy, motivated cast, who really pushed themselves. It was tough getting a contestant to shout ‘I’m A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!’ Many of them showed us another side of themselves – both the young bloggers, and the long-familiar faces. They really went for it and sank their teeth into every opportunity.”
