‘Meanwhile, Dean isn’t known for being a shrinking violet and is sure to be outspoken — plus he’s one of the youngest men lined up for the show so far.’
Meanwhile, Ally McCoist, 62, is high up on Ant and Dec’s radar to appear this year despite him turning down the opportunity to do the show twice before.
I’m A Celeb hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are desperate to get the Scottish pundit to star in this year’s lineup, according to The Mirror.
A source told the publication: ‘Ally has such a huge fan base thanks to his years of commentating and punditry, plus his long stint on A Question of Sport.
‘He’d be great for the jungle – as his wife and kids have been telling him forever – so everyone is really hopeful that this will be the year.’
But the show’s biggest success so far is signing WAG Coleen.
An insider recently spilled that Dean will join former Strictly sensation Reverend Coles, 63, as they head Down Under

Jane Moore is set to go Down Under for the show – following in the footsteps of her Loose Women co-stars, former Jungle Queen, Stacey Solomon, Charlene White, and Olivia Attwood
The wife of former England footballer Wayne Rooney is believed to have bagged a fee that exceeds Nigel Farage’s staggering £1.5million from last year.
There are hopes Coleen will spill the beans on her epic fallout with Rebekah Vardy.
She is also thought to be getting the ‘ultimate revenge’ as Rebekah was booted out early in the 2017 series.
According to The Sun on Sunday, Coleen is expected to fly out in November to take part in the show which her four boys are said to be huge fans of.
A source said: ‘I’m A Celeb bosses have pulled off a huge coup getting Coleen for the jungle this year and the team are thrilled to have her on board.
‘She’s always been a massive fan of the show and loves watching it with her boys. ITV are over the moon that the stars have aligned this year and she can fit it in. The series is set to be one of the best yet.
‘Coleen has a huge fanbase and she won massive plaudits for her classy handling of the Wagatha Christie case.’
The pair became the centre of a huge storm back in 2019 when Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking stories about her to the press.
Rebekah then went on to sue Coleen for libel over the claim, but it was Coleen who triumphed with a judge declaring in 2022 that her claim was ‘substantially true’.
Rebekah was later instructed to pay 90 per cent of 38-year-old Coleen’s fees, with an initial payment of £800,000, but has been challenging the claimed £1.8million costs.
