Footballer Ian Wright is in talks to star in ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
The 55-year-old former Arsenal star has been holding talks with ITV bosses about entering the jungle and they have offered him a six-figure sum to entice him.
A source told The Sun: "Ian would be a massive signing for ITV who’ve been keen to get him Down Under for a while.
"After watching Harry Redknapp win the last series, Ian has decided he would be up for giving it a whirl.
"He’s been offered a six figure sum to take part. Ian’s not afraid of much but has joked to his pals he’ll be useless at the eating tasks because he’s so fussy."
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Stephanie Waring’s friends are desperate to see her "scream for a couple of weeks" on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’
The ‘Hollyoaks’ actress has been heavily linked to the ITV reality show in the past, and she said all of her loved ones are "dying" to see her head into the jungle because she’s "scared of everything".
She said: "Everyone who knows me is dying to see me in the jungle. I know why – it’s because I’m scared of everything and they want to watch me scream for a couple of weeks.
"I guess it would be a challenge to see if I could get through it and I do love Australia, so if they ever call, I’ll have to see if I feel brave enough to do it."
The 41-year-old soap star – who plays Cindy Cunningham – is "really busy" with other commitments, but heading Down Under is still something she’d like to "tick off the list" at some point in the future.
Asked if she was jealous of co-star Malique Thompson-Dwyer heading into the jungle last year, she told new! magazine: "Not at all.
"I was so busy at work and I’d just done ‘Dancing On Ice’. I’m really busy this year, but it’s something I would like to tick off the list one day."
