SUPERBRAT Kelly Osbourne is to get the chop from ITV2 spin-off I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here Now.
The foul-mouthed 22-year-old who presents her section of the show from the Australian jungle, has infuriated TV bosses with her diva demands and repeated fluffing of lines.
An insider said: "Kelly flounces around like a Hollywood diva.
"But the truth is she's miserable on set and has struggled with the job from day one.
"Now the situation has got to breaking point and bosses in London have decided they want her out if they're going to improve ratings. They are getting ready to break the news to her."
The decision seals a week of chaos on the ITV2 show - which follows the main ITV1 programme.
The pairing of wild child Kelly and comic Brendan Burns proved an instant flop with viewers, who called Kelly "wooden" and the show "embarrassingly awful".
Burns was replaced by Mark Durden Smith overnight on Thursday.
Kelly was hurriedly given a temporary side-kick, This Morning presenter Steve Wilson, due to be replaced by kids' TV presenter Jeff Brazier in a last ditch shake-up.
