Kiosk Keith getting fired was the scandal that shocked I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! fans earlier this year.
But viewers will be relieved to learn that he has been replaced... by Kiosk Kev.
ITV revealed the replacement on Tuesday, days before the brand new season is set to air on Sunday. Kev's first appearance will be on Monday.
Meet Kev! Kiosk Keith's official replacement has been unveiled by ITV ahead of the new season of I'm A Celeb...
The long-running 'character' Keith - who delivers questions to camp mates and rewards them with treats if they answer correctly - was sacked from the show 'for behaving inappropriately' last January.
And until now, fans have been in the dark about who will take over the Outback Shack.
The original actor who played the role of Keith - real name is Raymond Grant - reportedly turned up drunk to work and made unwanted advances towards a female colleague on the bus into the Australian jungle.
The father-of-four was sacked after the woman - who is 'half his age' - was left 'so upset' by his alleged behaviour that she complained to ITV bosses, sources claimed earlier this year.

Debut: Kev's first appearance will be on Monday
He had been a fixture on the ITV show since 2013.
A source told The Sun: 'It wasn't unusual for Keith to turn up to work drunk as he's done it before but this incident has shocked everyone.
'He was drunk when he got on the bus in the morning. Then he behaved inappropriately towards a female member of the team who's half his age.
They added: 'It happened in front of loads of people, the girl was so upset.'
The insider claimed that Keith was fired once the woman made a complaint, adding that the crew had nicknamed him 'Hollywood' due to his sudden fame.

An ITV spokesperson confirmed that Raymond had been sacked and will not appear on screen again as Kiosk Keith.
They told MailOnline: 'Ray is no longer under contract on the show. There are no plans for him to return this year.'
Raymond had been due to appear on the German version of the popular show - which aired in January.
Raymond had been a firm favourite with fans and even has his own Twitter page, which claims: 'Aussie LAD born and bred. Employee of the month at The Outback Shack. I'm the biggest Celebrity in I'm a Celebrity.'
Celeb favourite: The Aussie has been popular with previous I'm A Celeb contestants, including Carol Vorderman and Sam Quek (pictured)
Firm friends: Last year's contestant, WAG Rebekah Vardy, shared this snap with him in December, writing 'almost a smile from Keith' in the caption
Man of the people: He proved popular with last year's batch of campmates, with boxer Amir Khan and actress Jennie McAlpine also posing for selfies with him
He is best known for running the camp shop, and delighted viewers with his grumpy exterior when stars approach him to collect their prizes for the Dingo Dollar challenges.
Raymond started off on the show as a labourer in 2002, when he helped to build the show's set, and was scouted by bosses to star as the silent shopkeeper.
However, his ex-wife Donna revealed Keith is not a full time job, and Raymond is simply called away from his artistic duties when they want to film scenes at the Outback Shack.
She also went on to shock fans by revealing he is not paid any extra for the on-screen role, despite his huge popularity.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
