Mis-Teeq star Su-Elise Nash is reportedly being considered to take part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.
Mis-Teeq star Su-Elise Nash is set to take part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.
The 45-year-old singer was considered for the show back in 2008 and her bandmate Sabrina Washington took part in 2009, but with the girl group - which also features Alesha Dixon - having reunited for the 25th anniversary of their debut album Lickin’ On Both Sides, she is back in the frame for the upcooming series.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Su was incredibly supportive of Sabrina’s jungle experience, and now she could get her own shot.
“There have been early talks with show bosses for her to be considered for it.
"Su-Elise has wanted to do I’m A Celebrity for a long time and the timing couldn’t be better.”
Tickets for the Scandalous group's reunion concert at Wembley in September are almost sold out, and they delighted fans at the Capital Summertime Ball over the weekend with a surprise appearance.
Meanwhile, Nadiya Bychkova is said to also be in talks for I'm A Celebrity... after the professional dancer was axed from Strictly Come Dancing.
A TV source told The Sun newspaper: "Nadiya has always been on the radar but has been unable to take part because of her commitment to Strictly. Now she’s a free agent, the offers have been coming in thick and fast.
"She’s had several chats about doing the jungle. Bosses are so impressed with her it’s even been suggested she turns down other shows."
And Wayne Lineker - who is the brother of former footballer and TV presenter Gary Lineker - has urged producers to sign him up for the show.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, Wayne said: "I'm open to TV offers. I'd like to do the jungle. That's one of the big ones."
Wayne thinks he'd thrive on the ITV show because he doesn't have any fears of spiders.
He said: "I love spiders. I've got a spider party trick. I get a little handful and put them all in my mouth, then go up to my friends and go 'ahhh!'
"I've done it about six or seven times, but I have to pre-arrange getting the spiders, so I can't really do it off the cuff."
On the other hand, Wayne admits that he can't handle cockroaches at all.
He said: "I'd be fantastic at the trials apart from cockroaches. I can't deal with them."
Wayne is good pals with a number of well-known celebrities, but the businessman cited Dean Gaffney, the actor best known for his time on EastEnders, as the person he'd most like to have by his side in the jungle.
Asked which celebrity he'd like with him on I'm a Celebrity, Wayne replied: "Absolutely Dean Gaffney. If I went in with Dean, he'd be able to tell me all the tricks and secrets."
