It comes after a new crop of celebrities were brought forward as frontrunners to appear in the new series, when it returns on Sunday 17th November. 

Kate, 52, was tipped to enter the jungle last year but was said to have pulled out of the series just weeks before filming was due to start.

Now the Good Morning Britain host has been tipped to make an epic return, with Kate herself fuelling the fires. 

Last month she was teased about ‘kangaroo testicles’ by her GMB co-host Ben Shephard, 44.

The presenter was left a little flustered when Ben referred to the infamous Bushtucker Trials – in which celebs have to eat gruesome creepy crawlies. 

Ben initially teased: ‘I can’t wait for you to go away for a month.’

‘I can neither confirm nor deny,’ Kate replied, before Ben said: ‘What’s the cryptic clue for that one? Kangaroo testic-?’

The laughing presenter then said: ‘What?! Hello. It’s Friday, but it’s not that kind of Friday!’ 

The mother-of-two has previously teased that her children Darcey, 13, and William, ten, are desperate to see her on the popular ITV programme. 

The Wright stuff: Ian Wright, 55, could be one of the sportsmen in camp, and he already has the backing of a former Jungle King with Harrry Redknapp recommending him

Jacqueline, 26, is also tipped for a jungle stint, which supposedly lead to talks about joining X Factor: Celebrity ‘fizzled out’.

Jacqueline, whose husband Dan Osborne appeared on Celebrity Big Brother last year, is allegedly thinking about making her reality TV debut, according to the Daily Star. 

A source revealed: ‘Jacqueline will not be appearing in on Celebrity X Factor. She did have initial meetings about the possibility but it was decided that things wouldn’t be taken any further.

‘As a result she had also sat down with ITV about the prospect of going on I’m A Celeb. As ever, line-ups aren’t locked in until closer the time but it is looking more than likely she will be heading Down Under.’

Keeping it loud: The Sun on Sunday claims Nadine Coyle will be heading down under as TV bosses are keen to hear about the Girls Aloud feud

Meanwhile, reigning Jungle King, Harry Redknapp, has thrown his support behind the decision, telling The Mirror Online: ‘He’s crazy. Whether he can keep his cool for three weeks, that’s the question.’ 

‘He’d be great fun. He’s a great lad, Wright – I love him.’

The Sun claims Nadine Coyle will be heading down under as TV bosses are keen to hear about the Girls Aloud feud. 

A TV insider told the publication: ‘Her link to Cheryl makes her an even more exciting prospect. It’s no secret there’s no love lost between them, and Nadine is refreshingly honest about what went on from her perspective.

After confessing that he’d happily do a stint in the jungle, it appears that Roman Kemp could be getting his dream come true, as he is pipped to be in this year’s line up. 

The radio host is said to have caught producers eyes, as the son of Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp and Wham! star Shirley has a plethora of showbiz pals. 

Back in 2017, Roman told Digital Spy: ‘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!’ 

‘I do think I would be pretty decent in the jungle as I’m stupid enough to take on disgusting and dangerous things.’
