Kelly Brook is set to take part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.
The 46-year-old model has reportedly agreed a deal to head to Australia for the tough jungle reality show next month after producers spent "years" trying to persuade her to take part.
A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Show bosses have been after Kelly as a campmate for years and think she could possibly be their sexiest contestant ever.
“She’s glamorous, witty and a familiar face to ITV audiences, having appeared as a panellist for Loose Women and other shows.
"She’s guaranteed to make perfect TV viewing.
“Many viewers will be excited to see her strip off for the famous jungle waterfall show too.”
The Heart FM DJ previously insisted she would never appear on the show because she is terrified of confined spaces.
She said in 2018: “I can just think of a million things I’d rather do.
"I’d rather go and work in my local pub.
“I don’t think I could, I really don’t, because I hate confined spaces.
"I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles and all the things they have to eat on there.
"Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn’t do it.
“It’s kind of like the beginning of the end in my opinion!”
The news comes a day after it was reported that 25-year-old rapper Aitch is also in line to take part in the show.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “Aitch has a massive following among teenagers and 20-somethings and bosses will be hoping he’ll bring a new generation of fans.
"He’ll make for great viewing as he has a plethora of stories from his time in the music industry.
“He’s also known for having a sharp wit which will keep his campmates and viewers entertained.
“Producers want a broad appeal for audiences at home, and he forms part of the bid to have celebrities of all ages taking part.”
Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley, 49, EastEnders’ Shona McGarty, 33 and LBC broadcaster Nick Ferrari, 66, have all been tipped to join the show.
