Max George heading into jungle with I'm A Celebrity?

Max George is rumoured to be heading to the Australian jungle for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The former Wanted singer is said to be one of the favourites to appear on the ITV reality show, following the band's split in January, although his manager Nano Tissera remained tight-lipped over the stories, The Sun reported.

Former Geordie Shore resident Vicky Pattison has also hinted she would like to compete on the programme, which sees famous people battling it out for the crown.

"I've no desire to fall off the face of the earth. If anything this has made me hungrier for what I want. I would like to pop up in the jungle," she told the Daily Mail. "I think I would have no problem after my experience on Geordie Shore and all the creepy crawlies I've encountered, putting a kangaroo ball in my mouth will not bother me in the slightest... so I'm A Celebrity... get me in there," she added.

Other names who have been linked to the coming series include The Only Way Is Essex's Gemma Collins, TV presenter Melanie Sykes, Olympic medal-winning athletes Nicola Adams and Tom Daley and ice skater Brianne Delcourt.

Ant and Dec will return to host the 14th series of I'm A Celebrity, which begins on ITV in November.
