Ant and Dec ‘reveal what star is on their personal wish list for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’: ‘It would be a first for the series’

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly reportedly have a personal wish list of stars they want to take part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

The presenting duo, both 47, made suggestions every year ahead of casting for the ITV show, which they host.

For this year’s series, the Geordie pair are allegedly crossing their fingers that astronaut Tim Peake will take part.

Major Tim, 51, is the first Briton to walk in space and was on the International Space Station from 2015 to 2016.

Speaking to The Sun, a source said: ‘Both Ant and Dec think Tim would be a fascinating signing for the show and bring another layer to the campfire chats.

‘It would be a first for the series to have an astronaut and add some real gravitas.’ 

The publication also reports that Ant and Dec have previously put forward other famous faces, such as The A-Team star Mr T and ex-Man United player Roy Keane.

The source added: ‘Although Ant and Dec are show hosts they know the series inside out so producers are always really interested to have their input and collaborate with them on casting ideas to create the perfect chemistry.’ 

It comes after it was revealed last week that Danielle Harold is reportedly in talks to appear on the upcoming series of I’m A Celebrity.

The former EastEnders actress, 31, won the Serial Drama Performance prize at the National Television Awards this month.

Danielle’s character Lola Pearce died from brain cancer on the soap in May this year as part of a gripping storyline and now the star could be heading into the jungle.

‘Danielle is at the height of her career and in demand after her moving storyline on EastEnders, but she’s really caught the eye of ITV bosses to appear in the upcoming series of the jungle,’ a source told The Sun. 

‘As well as being a talented actress with a huge fanbase, Danielle has a fun personality with a wicked sense of humour, which makes her the ideal campmate for the show.
