Some of the people rumoured for I’m A Celeb are just ridiculous

As IF they would go in.

As IF they would go in. 

Every year before I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! comes back for a new series there are a number of rumoured celebrities. Last year we heard about the possibility of Caitlyn Jenner entering the jungle which we knew was an absolute lie and did turn out to be false.

Now this year there are even more ridiculous rumours which are almost definitely not going to happen.

First up in the rumour mill is Donald Trump.

I mean, come on, the man is in the middle of a campaign to become the President of the United States. I know that he probably would be daft enough to go in but just not right now. The series doesn’t start back until November which coincides with the result of the election so if he doesn’t become President then maybe he might, but I just think it’s very unlikely. He would lose what little credibility he already has.

Next up is Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini.

I know that they sometimes have people in the jungle that are only celebrities for their connection with others and that would be the case with Jean-Bernard who is only famous for being married to Cheryl.

He is notoriously very private about his personal life and the last place I would see him is in the jungle. His Instagram account is even on private because he doesn’t want the attention. I will stand corrected if he does go in but I just find this one a bit of a stretch.

Another unrealistic person is Colleen Rooney.

As if she wants to enter the house with three children under the age of 6 and one that she just gave birth to in January. The youngest will be 10 months old when the series starts but still. Also, she doesn’t need to go on the show at all. Most celebrities do it for the extra bit of cash or exposure, which she needs neither of.

The next one could possibly happen but I actually hope it doesn’t. Conrad Murray, the doctor who spent two years in prison for the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson.

It wouldn’t be out of the realms of possibility as he is now out of prison and presumably wants some publicity but it would just be very hard to watch. Generally the public get behind their favourite celebrity and I can’t imagine he has too many fans out there.

Some other more realistic rumours include Olympian Louis Smith, Spencer Matthews, Sam Reece and Sophie Kasaei.

Louis Smith is one of the stronger possibilities to enter the jungle. He’s no stranger to reality TV having competed in Strictly Come Dancing in 2012 and ended up winning the series. He’s just competed in his final Olympic Games so he could be looking for something to do in the winter.

Spencer Matthews is also another person who could definitely be brought onto the show. Last year he lasted three days in the jungle but was booted off because it transpired that he had taken steroids.

Sam Reece, who we all remember was Stephanie Davis’s boyfriend when she was in the Big Brother house but who she also subsequently dumped to go out with Jeremy McConnell. I won’t even get into that tangled web or we’d be here all day. Sam could go into the house, now that he’s somewhat of a “celeb”.

Finally, Sophie Kasaei is one of MTV’s reality stars for Geordie Shore and could definitely be heading into the jungle. She’s currently in the Celebrity Big Brother house so she’s not against reality TV these days.

We’ll just have to wait and see.
