Martin Kemp is in talks to star in the upcoming series of ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’
The Spandau Ballet artist has been offered a big-money deal to follow in the footsteps of his son Roman, who appeared on the show last year.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Martin would be a key signing for I’m A Celeb this year but there’s a massive price attached to his name.
"ITV approached his management company and they’re talking figures.
"Roman was a hit with viewers in the last series so getting Martin would be a coup."
This year’s series of the popular reality show is set to be filmed at Gwrych Castle in Wales instead of the usual Australian jungle due to the coronavirus crisis, which has freed up Martin to appear on the show.
The insider added: "Martin had been approached earlier in the year but couldn’t have made it work because of prior commitments.
"But after coronavirus cleared his schedule the only thing standing between him and the show is whether ITV can afford his fee."
Roman competed on the series last year and finished third while Martin’s former Spandau Ballet bandmate Tony Hadley took part in 2015.
It was confirmed last week that the upcoming series would be filmed in Wales, with the stars and presenters Ant and Dec heading to the village of LlanfairÂpwllgwyngyllÂgogeryÂchwyrnÂdrobwllÂllanÂtysilioÂgogoÂgoch to a castle ruin after the global pandemic made it impossible to film Down Under.
A source told The Sun: "Ant and Dec and the same production team are all on board and everyone is 110 per cent dedicated to making this series as brilliant as all the others."
