What is interesting is that they're obviously talking to people very last minute because I was asked again only this week. So maybe somebody dropped out and they were desperate.

They drop you in and you walk a long that little bridge."Fellow This Morning co-star Josie Gibson has also been rumoured to be entering the jungle for this year's series after it was reported she was banned from Strictly Come Dancing after being asked to free her up to star on ITV's reality series.Other names tipped to be entering the show this year include former Love Island star Olivia Attwood who was forced to pull out of the 2022 series.
