Another McFly member has signed up for I’m a Celeb

A member of McFly has signed up for this year’s I’m a Celebrity after Tommy Fury dropped out of the reality show.

Danny Jones is reportedly set to take part in this year’s show after the boxer quit at the last minute.

The singer is following in the footsteps of his bandmate Dougie Poynter, who won the show in 2011.

According to The Sun, the English singer is bound to be a huge hit with viewers.

An insider told the publication: “As well as bringing some of the star appeal of the group with him, he’ll be supplying some serious guy candy for the campmates and viewers at home.

“All the McFly guys are gym fanatics and Danny in particular has a great physique – which he’s bound to show off in the jungle.

“He’ll be keeping up with the proud tradition of I’m A Celebrity hunks who’ve been on the show over the years including Owen Warner and Joel Dommett,” they added.

According to reports, Tommy Fury stepped away from the project because of a rematch between him and KSI.

Fury was “in talks with ITV producers for months” but dropped out just weeks before flying to Australia.

Sources say the team has lined up “one of the most exciting casts in the show’s history”.

ITV has confirmed the new series of I’m a Celebrity will air on Sunday, November 17th.
