Over the weekend, rumours broke that Coleen Rooney had reportedly signed a record deal to appear on this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
As the show draws ever closer to reappearing on our screens a list of potential celebrities heading to the Australian jungle has surfaced.
ITV insists they will announce the names in their own time and were quick to shut down the Rooney rumours saying: “Any names suggested for I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! are just speculation.”
The Manchester Evening News recently shared a list of eight names that have been most linked with the show including former footballer Ally McCoist.
It is not the first time McCoist has been linked with the show. He reportedly came close to joining the show a couple of years ago and his family have been encouraging him to do the show ever since.
Coronation Street star, Alan Halsall who plays Tyrone Dobbs on Britain’s longest running soap had been rumoured to join the 2023 edition of the show before he got a serious leg injury which ruled him out.
Halsall has neither confirmed or denied that he was preparing for the jungle last year but if he was, he has now had suitable time to recover and try again this year.
Jeremy Clarkson may look busy with his pub and running his farm, but he too has been linked with the show.
During his time on Top Gear, Clarkson spent time in the jungle in the Bolivia where his testicles became submerged in a river which his colleagues, James May and Richard Hammond found hilarious.
Meanwhile, Ladbrokes reckons the chances of ITV bosses approaching Tommy Fury or ex-partner Molly-Mae Hague are high.
The pair recently split up amid speculation that Fury had been unfaithful, something which the boxer denies. He has vowed that ‘the truth will come out’.
Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice may appear in the jungle after he announced ‘I’m back baby’ following the conclusion of an investigation into bullying allegations made against him.
He'd been accused by actor Amanda Abbington, and a BBC investigation upheld six of the claims against him while clearing him of a further 10.
He had been taken off Strictly amid the allegations, potentially freeing him up for other opportunities.
Meanwhile, N-Dubz singer and X-Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos was one of the first celebrities to be linked with this year’s show.
Phillip Schofield has also made the list but having just appeared on Channel 5’s Cast Away it seems doubtful he would jump straight off a desert island and into a jungle.
