ITV has responded to rumours regarding Tommy Fury’s inclusion on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! following his split from Molly-Mae Hague.
Earlier this week it was reported that boxer Tommy, 25, could be making his way to Australia to take part in the 24th season of I’m A Celebrity.
A source told The Sun that the Love Island favourite would be a ‘great name as a potential campmate’ as ITV audiences were already familiar with him.
Moreover, it was speculated that he could use the long-running reality show to ‘give his side of the story’ after splitting from his long-time partner, Molly-Mae, 25.

Tommy - who is the brother of heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury - rose to fame on the fifth season of Love Island on ITV2.
He finished the 2019 show as a runner-up alongside Molly-Mae after spending 50 days in the villa as a couple.
Following their exit, the pair moved in together before welcoming their daughter, Bambi, one.
Five years after going steady, the couple shocked fans by announcing their subsequent split.
At the time, the mother-of-one took to Instagram and wrote: “Never in a million years did I think I'd ever have to write this. After five years of being together I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.
“I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy’s relationship has come to an end.”
She added that she would ‘forever be grateful’ for their daughter and that their child would always be her ‘priority’.
Amid the fallout from their split, it was rumoured that Tommy might be appearing on the new season of I'm a Celeb, which is set to air this autumn.
An ITV spokesperson told Tyla: “Any names suggested for I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here are just speculation.”
Tommy and Molly-Mae are currently working to co-parent Bambi, with Molly-Mae revealing in a YouTube video that Tommy had picked her up recently to spend the afternoon together.
"Things are going well,” she confessed. "All has been good this weekend, as good as it could've got.
"I feel like it has been fine and I haven't been feeling too bad so I feel like that's a positive."
No other names have been announced to take part in the forthcoming season of the British survival reality TV show, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.
Last year, former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson was crowned King of the Jungle with Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage finishing in second and third place, respectively.
