Only four months to go...

It’s still a while off but we’re already buzzing for I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.

The show is set to return to our screens in November and ITV is busy locking down some big names for what’ll be the 19th series.

One star tipped to appear on our screens is former Arsenal player Ian Wright.

The soccer star-turned TV pundit is the first name linked with the series so far this year and is said to be in “advanced talks” about becoming a campmate on the hit show.

Producers are dying to have him in the jungle, a source has said, and are willing to part with big money to get him to commit.

He’s now working out the logistics to try and make I’m A Celeb fit his schedule, the insider added.

“Ian would be a massive signing for ITV who’ve been keen to get him Down Under for a while,” they told The Sun.

“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.”

Ian has yet to comment on the speculation but he certainly wouldn’t be the first ex-footballer to take part in the show.

Former player and manager Harry Redknapp was last year’s King of the Jungle after winning the show.
