I have a celebrity boss A £21M mega-mansion has reportedly been splashed out in Australia's Gold Coast for the 'lavish' launch of the new series later this month.
The ten-bedroom Diamond Head estate has a helipad, 2000-bottle wine cellar and cinema, and is likely to host celebrities. Including rumored gamemate Colin Rooney before they ditched their lives of luxury and entered the jungle.
But the house is no stranger to famous faces, having been where Johnny Depp famously severed his finger during an argument with then-wife Amber Heard in 2015.
Once owned by motorcycle world champion Mick Doohan and rented by Brad Pitt, it also has landing strips for private jets.
A source told The Sun: 'Diamond Head is one of Australia's most expensive properties, so Colin will hit the ground running.
I Am A Celebrity bosses have splashed out on a £21M mega-mansion in Australia's Gold Coast for the 'luxurious' launch of the new series later this month.
The house is no stranger to famous faces, with Johnny Depp (pictured 2022) famously severing his finger in 2015 during an argument with then-wife Amber Heard.
The mansion is where celebrities, including Coleen Rooney, may have stayed before abandoning their lives of luxury and heading into the jungle (pictured by Hosts Ant and Dec).
'The new location will bring showbiz flair to the series and I'm finalizing details on how exactly the popular team property will be used and for how long.
Before adding: 'Viewers can expect lots of surprises and everyone is very excited about the celebrities lined up for the new series — it's going to be must-see TV.'
MailOnline has contacted ITV for comment.
Johnny described the fight that erupted between him and Amber during his 2022 court case when Haddad allegedly threw a bottle of vodka at him with the top of his finger severed.
The couple was in Australia while the actor was filming the fifth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean. He said he cut off his fingertip with a knife during the argument, and his team called it a 'three-day hostage situation' where the actor resorted to repeated violence.
However, Johnny said that Amber became angry with him after meeting with his lawyers to discuss the postnuptial agreement. She claimed that one of the lawyers had laughed at her – which she later found out was not true.
He told the court: 'All I could do was try to calm her down and I didn't hurt her or put her in an uncomfortable position. It didn't work, it escalated, became crazy, chaotic, violent.'
She was angry and she was stubborn. As I casually tried to remove myself, she hammered me with cruel words. Pardon my language, but I remember it not very well. I tried to remove myself from the situation, but to no avail.

'The house I rented for myself in Australia was a huge place. I think I locked myself in at least nine bedrooms and bathrooms that day because she was banging on doors, streaming porn, and wanting to get physical.
After locking himself in a room, Depp recounted how Heard got out, then walked downstairs to the rec room, where there was a pool table and a bar.
He said: “I went behind the bar, got a bottle of vodka and a shot glass, sat at the bar and poured two or three stiff shots, my first taste of alcohol in a long time.
'When she came down to the bar and saw me she started shouting you're drinking again, monster.
'She walked up to me and grabbed a bottle of vodka and stood back and threw it at me,' Depp recalls the act of throwing. Moving his hand over his head, he said: 'It went over my head and crashed behind me.
'I stood up and walked behind the bar and there was a big bottle of vodka with a handle. I took it and took my seat, opened the bottle, poured a shot and drank it
'Miss Heard was hurling insults left right and centre. She took the bottle and threw it at me. Depp said he used the bench in front of him and leaned back in his chair to show the jury where the bar was located.
He said: I was leaning like this on the chair. First bottle went, got the other bottle, shot. Takes the second bottle. I am in this situation again. My hand rests on the edge of the bar.
'She threw the big bottle and it made contact and splashed everywhere and I honestly didn't feel the pain at first, I didn't feel the pain.'
'All I felt was heat, something dripped on my hand, and then I looked down and felt my fingertips cut off. I saw directly that my bone was sticking out.
'The fleshy part of the inside of your finger. It was bleeding and I think I went into something at that point, I don't know what a nervous breakdown would look like, but that was the closest I got. I don't understand anything. I knew in my heart and soul that this was not life. This is not life. No one should have to go through this.

Alli (pictured) is said to have cheered Colin on during the Wagada Christie trial with Rebecca Vardy, who was booted out early in the 2017 series.
“This feeling in the middle of some kind of nervous breakdown, I started writing on the walls with my own blood, little reminders of our past, the lies she told me, the lies I held her to.
Looking at a picture of him on a stretcher, Deb says, 'That's me in the emergency room. I see a detail I forgot.
'Miss Heard took my cigarette from the ashtray and poked me in the face.'

Speaking on his talkSPORT breakfast show at the time, Alli said: 'If they were men, they'd get him. You want to be a fly on the wall in that dressing room.'
