It's been a few months since Vardy watched on from her sofa as her former court rival and fellow WAG Coleen Rooney headed into the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! jungle so there’s rumours she’s keen to back into reality TV herself. Vardy did also previously enter into the I’m a Celeb jungle.

Paris Fury

Leyfield thinks there’s a 40% chance Paris Fury, wife of boxing legend Tyson Fury, will be going in to the famous house this year. The 35-year-old has been married to Tyson for almost 20 years and the couple share seven children. Fans fell in love with Paris during the Netflix series ‘At Home with the Furys’ and are keen to see more on her on their TV screens.

Former MP Nadine Dorries, who was suspended from the Conservative party whip in 2012 for taking part in I’m a Celebrity, may be having another go at reality TV and appearing on CBB. She was the first contestant to be voted out of I’m a Celeb, so she’d be hoping she wouldn’t be the first evictee from the Big Brother house. Leyfield thinks there’s a 14.3% chance she’ll appear.

Tommy Fury

25-year-old boxer Tommy Fury, who is the younger brother of fellow boxer Tyson Fury, is no stranger to the reality scene as he took part in ITV dating show Love Island in 2019. Fury was reportedly due to take part in last year’s I’m a Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here, but pulled out at the last minute. So, he may be getting ready to go in the country’s biggest house instead.

Ella Morgan

Ella Morgan, 31, first rose to fame in 2023 when she was the first transgender bride on E4 dating show Married at First Sight. Last year, she was then the first transgender woman to join the celebrity dating agency on Celebs Go Dating.

Danny Dyer

Eastenders actor Danny Dyer, 47, was another name rumoured for last year’s I’m a Celeb. That rumour obviously turned out not to be true, but could this one?

Eamonn Holmes

Eamonn Holmes has caused quit a stir in the last few years. Firstly because of his feud with former This Morning colleague Phillip Schofield. Secondly, it was due to the breakdown of this marriage to Ruth Langsford after 14 years together - and then debuting his relationship with new girlfriend Katie Alexander, who is around 20 years his junior, just two months later. So, the TV presenter would have plenty to talk about.

Amelia Dimoldenberg

Annie Kilner

Kyle Walker’s wife Annie Kilner is reportedly in talks to join the cast of this year’s Celebrity Big Brother.

The former Manchester City star may have just made the move to Italy to join AC Milan, but Annie could be staying into the UK as she is said to be eyeing up a £750,000 deal to join the hit ITV reality show. However, before signing on the dotted line, the 32-year-old is said to have made one huge stipulation to producers.

The Sun reports that Annie has agreed to sign on only if her love rival Lauryn Goodman does not also appear on the show. Kyle’s affair with the 34-year-old influencer and model hit the headlines after she revealed that the footballer had fathered a second child with her despite still being married to Annie, who was pregnant with the couple’s fourth child when the scandalous affair came to light.

Annie filed for divorce from the Kyle in late 2024, but the couple are said to be putting the separation on hold.
