Jason Manford would consider I'm A Celeb if Tiger King's Carole Baskin signs up 👀
Now this would be TV gold!
Despite this year's I'm A Celebrity being under review due to the current Coronavirus pandemic, that hasn't stopped the yearly rumour mill going into overdrive, with a number of famous names being mentioned.
As well as the likes of Strictly's AJ Pritchard, Corrie's Beverley Callard and UFC champion Conor McGregor all being rumoured, reports have been rife recently that bosses are going to splash the cash to sign Tiger King star Carole Baskin up for the 2020 series.
If you've seen the bonkers Netflix show, you'll be aware that Carole, who recently obtained her arch-nemesis Joe Exotic's zoo land, would be a massive signing for the ITV show, with the big-cat rights activist being one of the most talked-about TV stars of the last few months.
And it's not only fans of the show getting excited about Carole's potential involvement, Absolute Radio host Jason Manford has revealed he would also sign up for the popular show if they landed Carole.
Speaking to a caller on his Absolute Radio show, Jason said, "If Carole Baskin ends up in the jungle, I might sign up!"
Check out all of the rumoured celebs for I'm A Celebrity 2020:
Alan Halsall
Coronation Street star Alan Halsall has been in the rumour mill for a number of years now and it's understood he was due to appear in 2023, before picking up a nasty ACL injury which resulted in him needing major surgery. It's now being reported that bosses are keen to sign Alan for the 2024 show.
Olivia Attwood
As fans will know, reality star Olivia Attwood was forced to quit the 2022 series due to medical reasons, leaving her gutted. Olivia later hinted she could return for the 2023 series, admitting she'd had chats with bosses during an appearance on Loose Women.
However, after Olivia didn't appear in the 2023 series, could she feature on the 2024 line-up?
Phillip Schofield
After leaving his presenting role on This Morning in 2023, rumours were rife that Phillip Schofield could take part in the 2023 series. As fans will know, Phillip wasn't on the line-up, but with reports suggesting he's about to make a comeback to TV, could I'm A Celeb be the platform he needs to re-launch his career?
Alex Beresford
Good Morning Britain weather reporter Alex Beresford has recently expressed interest in appearing on I'm A Celeb. He told the Mirror: "Out of all the shows I would love to do, I would love to do the jungle."
Alex recently appeared on BBC One's Celebrity Race Across The World.
Danny Dyer
Since Danny Dyer left his iconic role as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter on EastEnders last year, he's been heavily rumoured for I'm A Celeb.
Of course, his family are no strangers to reality TV, with Danny's daughter Dani winning Love Island back in 2018.
Denise van Outen
The lovely Denise van Outen is no stranger to reality shows, having appeared on the likes of Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Gogglebox in recent years.
Denise has previously admitted she turned down the offer in 2021, so will 2024 be her year?
Sam Aston
Coronation Street legend Sam Aston hinted he'd love to take part in the show in 2021.
Speaking to OK! Magazine at the time, he said: "I've always said no to all of those shows, but then recently for some reason I've been more open to the idea. Jennie McAlpine and Andy Whyment did the jungle and both of them said it's the experience of a lifetime.
"If I was offered it I would be open to the idea and open to the extra pennies!"
The Vivienne
RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne recently admitted she would love to appear on I'm A Celeb during a chat with Lorraine.
She said: "Do you know what, I've never thought about it but what an absolutely amazing opportunity that would be."
Phil Taylor
Ever since he admitted he'd 'love' to appear on the show a number of years ago, darts legend Phil Taylor has been heavily rumoured every year. As he's not yet entered the jungle, could 2024 be his year?
Will Mellor
Following his stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, it seems actor Will Mellor has the reality TV bug, as he's admitted to his friend and former co-star Ralf Little he'd fancy appearing on I'm A Celeb. Could 2024 be his year?
Richard Arnold
Good Morning Britain's entertainment presenter Richard Arnold is usually the one travelling over to Australia to report on the cast, but if rumours are to be believed, he could be taking part this year!
Of course, Jason is no stranger to taking part in popular TV shows. As well appearing on the likes of 8 out of 10 Cats, the 39-year-old dressed up as a hedgehog for ITV show The Masked Singer earlier this year, where he lost out to Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts in the final.
Meanwhile, despite bosses not yet confirming if the 2020 series will go ahead due to the current Coronavirus pandemic, it has been reported that they are doing 'everything they can' in order to make the popular show with Ant and Dec happen.
You can hear Jason Manford every Sunday from 8am on Absolute Radio.
