Venezuela Fury Quits 'I'm A Celebrity' Spin-Off Due to Illness, Reports Say
The 16-year-old daughter of Paris and Tyson Fury withdrew from 'I’m A Celebrity…The Wild Frontier' after just 72 hours, citing illness and experiencing cold symptoms.
Venezuela Fury has reportedly withdrawn from the new "I'm A Celebrity... The Wild Frontier" spin-off series after becoming unwell during filming. The 16-year-old, daughter of Tyson and Paris Fury, left the competition after 72 hours with her husband Noah Price.
Fury shared a health update via TikTok, stating she has been "dying of the cold" and experiencing cold sores, which she attributes to illness and tiredness. "I look like I live in a rats nest right now but we're not going to talk about it," she said in a video posted Thursday. "Other than that I've been dying of the cold. I have two cold sores on my mouth and I've never had them in my life but for some reason whenever I get ill or tired I end up with them."
According to a source cited by The Sun, Fury became "really unwell" while filming and was vomiting. Despite attempting to persevere, she ultimately felt unable to continue. Her husband Noah was reportedly supportive throughout the ordeal. After her departure, Venezuela was examined by ITV medical staff before returning to a hotel.
The "I’m A Celebrity…The Wild Frontier" series is being filmed in British Columbia, Canada, and features celebrity pairs undertaking trials in the wilderness. Other participants include Rio and Kate Ferdinand, siblings Louise Redknapp and Joe Nurding, "Dancing On Ice" judges Christopher Dean and Karen Barber, boyband singers Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy, and social media stars Paul Olima and Jeremy Lynch. Toni Laites and her best friend Marielle are expected to replace Fury and Price.
The show's hosts, Ant and Dec, had previously teased "surprise twists" and "danger" for the celebrity pairings, highlighting that contestants must enter, compete, and leave as a pair. They also alluded to potential "bears" in the Canadian wilderness.
Venezuela Fury's marriage to Noah Price earlier this year drew some controversy due to her age, though the legal age for marriage on the Isle of Man, where she resides, is 16 with parental consent. In England and Wales, the age of consent is 18.
