A former Strictly Come Dancing star and a BBC Radio DJ 'get ready for the jungle' after ITV pull off double coup by 'signing them up' for new series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Two BBC DJs have signed up for the latest series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

The BBC stars are in talks with the ITV show to enter the jungle and are promising to spill the beans on the broadcaster.

These two new signings will join the likes of Coleen Rooney and Loose Women 's Jane Moore .

EX-BBC radio host Rev Richard Coles , 63, is set to head Down Under along with Radio 1 rising star Dean McCullough, 32 according to The Sun .

The Strictly star has been vocal in his criticism of the BBC previously and last year said the broadcaster 'didn't know its a**e from its elbow'.

An insider told the publication: 'As always, the jungle bosses have cleverly put together a sensational line-up guaranteed to make for compulsive viewing.

'Rev Coles will have a variety of tales to tell from his wild days as a pop star in the Eighties, through to performing on Strictly and his later life as a man of the cloth.

'Meanwhile, Dean isn't known for being a shrinking violet and is sure to be outspoken — plus he's one of the youngest men lined up for the show so far.'

Richard previously hosted Radio 4's Saturday Live show but left last year after more than a decade on the channel.

The star said he felt hurt at the way his exit had been handled and previously told The Guardian newspaper: 'If you leave a programme after 12 years, a gentler process would have been nice. But what happens happens.

'It just feels a little bit rushed. It's been frustrating for me having to wait for an announcement, and now it's my last programme on Saturday. I'd rather have had a longer goodbye to listeners.

'It just feels a bit sad. I'm sorry to go; I've loved the programme, I've loved the people I've worked with, and it's been a big part of my life. I shall miss it.'

Also joining the radio hosts could be a sporting legend.

Ally McCoist, 62, is high up on Ant and Dec's radar to appear in the show this year despite him turning down the opportunity to do the show twice before.

TV presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are desperate to get the Scottish pundit to star in this year's lineup, according to The Mirror .

A source told the publication: 'Ally has such a huge fan base thanks to his years of commentating and punditry, plus his long stint on A Question of Sport.

'He'd be great for the jungle - as his wife and kids have been telling him forever - so everyone is really hopeful that this will be the year.'

But he show's biggest success so far is signing WAG Coleen.

The wife of former England footballer Wayne Rooney is believed to have bagged a fee that exceeds Nigel Farage's staggering £1.5million from last year.

There are hopes Coleen will spill the beans on her epic fallout with Rebekah Vardy.

She is also thought to be getting the 'ultimate revenge' as Rebekah was booted out early in the 2017 series.

According to The Sun on Sunday, Coleen is expected to fly out in November to take part in the show which her four boys are said to be huge fans of.

A source said: 'I'm A Celeb bosses have pulled off a huge coup getting Coleen for the jungle this year and the team are thrilled to have her on board .

'She's always been a massive fan of the show and loves watching it with her boys. ITV are over the moon that the stars have aligned this year and she can fit it in. The series is set to be one of the best yet.

'Coleen has a huge fanbase and she won massive plaudits for her classy handling of the Wagatha Christie case.'

The pair became the centre of a huge storm back in 2019 when Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking stories about her to the press .

Rebekah then went on to sue Coleen for libel over the claim, but it was Coleen who triumphed with a judge declaring in 2022 that her claim was 'substantially true'.

Rebekah was later instructed to pay 90 per cent of 38-year-old Coleen's fees, with an initial payment of £800,000 , but has been challenging the claimed £1.8million costs.

At the end of the latest hearing, which began on Monday, senior costs judge Andrew Gordon-Saker has now told Rebekah to pay an extra £100,000 within 21 days.

In terms of the lineup for this year's camp, TikTok star GK Barry is said to be in to be in 'advanced talks' with ITV bosses for a slot.
