EastEnders' Jake Wood throws his hat into the ring for I'm A Celeb 2020 🦂
Get him in there!
Last updated 19th Nov 2019
EastEnders star Jake Wood AKA Max Branning has made no secret of the fact that he's a HUGE fan of I'm Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! over the years. But today (19th Nov), the dad-of-two has confirmed that he's hoping to appear on the show in the future.
In an interview on Good Morning Britain earlier today, Jake was quizzed by hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid over the show, as his former co-star and on-screen daughter Jacqueline Jossa is currently in the jungle.
Jake told them, "I haven't watched any of it so far, we’ve been so busy as a family, but we always watch it every year. I’m a massive fan of the show, that’s no secret - it’s a big family event in our house as it is for families up and down the country, and I will be catching up. I’m very proud of Jackie."
When asked by Susanna if he'd take on the jungle, Jake confessed, "I would love to do it, I’ve been on record to say I’d love to do it." As Susanna joked that she thought he was going in at one point, Jake added, "So did I! No not really, no. But I would love to do it."
He was then asked if he hadn't been in yet because the fee wasn't up to scratch, to which he replied, "Listen, they’re very generous on that show," and when Piers said he'd go on the show for £5 million, Jake said, "That sounds reasonable to me, Piers."

Ian Wright
Former footballer and Match of the Day pundit Ian Wright is heading into the jungle. Ian Wright is rumoured to be earning the second-highest wage of £400,000 while in the jungle.
But during an appearance at the Royal Concert hall in Nottingham last week, Harry Redknapp, last year's King of the Jungle, revealed Wright would be earning one million as someone tweeted: "Just got home from seeing @Redknapp in Nottingham. Interestingly, he let slip that Ian Wright has been paid £1m to appear on this year's #ImaCeleb."
Nadine Coyle
Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle will be facing her fears on the show. What Nadine will be earning has been kept quiet for now, however, the average amount that stars of I'm A Celebrity earn is between £10,000 and £80,000.
Myles Stephenson
He won The X Factor with his band Rak-Su, but can Gabby Allen's ex-boyfriend win I'm A Celebrity?
Kate Garraway
She's used to putting up with Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain, so the jungle should be a doddle for TV presenter Kate Garraway. Kate's co-presenter Ben Shepard teased Kate on Good Morning Britain: "I can't wait for you to go away for a month," and Kate responded: "I can neither confirm nor deny."
James Haskell
He's used to being the hard man on a rugby pitch, so how will James Haskell cope in a jungle full of creepy crawlies? Although we can't confirm what James Haskell will be pulling in, last year's contestant John Barrowman received £200,000.
Caitlyn Jenner
Reportedly the highest paid star to ever grace the jungle, Kylie and Kendall Jenner's dad Caitlyn is set to reveal some major Kardashian gossip.
Jacqueline Jossa
Former EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of past soap stars on the show. Bosses are reportedly hoping she dishes the dirt on her on'/off marriage to reality star Dan Osborne.
Adele Roberts
Big Brother 3 star Adele Roberts is going back to her reality TV roots for the 2019 series.
Roman Kemp
Roman is a TV personality and son of former EastEnders actor Martin Kemp. He's set to bring some eye candy to the jungle. Roman has wanted to go into the jungle for quite some time as he told Digital Spy in 2017: "The only reality show I would do is I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! purely because I would get a holiday and get to see Ant & Dec every day!"
Andrew Maxwell
Irish comedian Andrew is set to bring the laughs to the jungle and we actually can't wait. There has been no details referring to what Andrew could be earning, yet latecomer Noel Edmunds earned £600,000, the highest amount that has been paid to any celebrity on the show.
Andrew Whyment
Coronation Street star Andy Whyment AKA Kirk Sutherland is a late arrival into the jungle!
Cliff Parisi
Former EastEnders star and current Call The Midwife actor Cliff Parisi is a late arrival alongside Andy Whyment!
