Piers Morgan, the former Good Morning Britain presenter, could be in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! this year.

The show's beloved duo, Ant and Dec, have both said he'd be a great addition to the jungle.

And it's not like he couldn't get the time off.

Ant told Lorraine Kelly on her ITV show at the end of May: "He's not working at the moment, so you know, he'll be looking for a job."

Lorraine replied: "He's got a bit of time on his hands, who knows."

Although the show doesn't start until mid-November, cast rumours are already flying around. Piers could be joining Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall and Love Island's Tommy Fury, among others.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes told the Express: "Piers has spoken about an I'm A Celeb stint on numerous occasions in the past and the latest odds suggest this could be the year he finally dons the famous campmate gear.

"The former GMB presenter certainly has enough time on his hands, and were he to take part in the upcoming series, expect him to break Bushtucker Trial records as fans will no doubt be voting for him to take part in every single one."

Where will I'm A Celebrity 2021 be filmed?

Last year's I'm A Celeb just wasn't the same being filmed in a castle in Wales.

Since the launch of the series in 2002, the show has always been filmed in New South Wales in Australia and celebrities have camped out at Springbrook National Park near Murwillumbah.

But according to The Sun, ITV bosses said the launch of the 2020 I'm A Celeb series in Wales saw a record-breaking number of viewers and that they're considering alternating the series between Gwrych Castle in Wales and Springbrook National Park in Aus.

That would mean that, all being well with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, the show will be filmed in Australia this year.

And if the prospect of returning to the Aussie jungle wasn't enough excitement for us, ITV has confirmed that an I'm A Celebrity theme park is coming to Manchester this year.

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! airs on ITV in mid-November. We'll let you know as soon as a start date is confirmed.
