Hogan the Koala has been sensationally axed from the next series of I'm A Celebrity, according to the Daily Star today.

The bear, a media star in Oz via his ads for Qantas, joined the show last year as a sidekick to regular hosts Ant and Dec.

"I think having a koala on the show may have been an idea which looked good on paper," said Ant. "But the reality was it just didn't work. He was such a diva anyway. He never looked at the cameras when we wanted him to and even walked off set once."

The fifth series of I'm A Celebrity airs on ITV in November.

It was sooo funny the crew had the camera on him and he just walked right off the set, normally they would have him in the background on a tree eating leaves or something....I'm gonna miss him :( lol
