Nigel Farage is said to be in "advanced talks" about appearing on this year's edition of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
The 59-year-old, who spearheaded the Brexit campaign, is now a successful presenter on GB News and earlier this year beat the likes of Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid to be named Best News Presenter at the TRIC Awards.
Farage has previously said that he has turned down multiple offers to take part in I'm A Celebrity as he regarded the show as "rather humiliating" but added: 'Never say never.'
According to The Sun, however, he is now negotiating a deal thought to be worth around £1 million to fly out to the Aussie jungle next month.
"Nigel has been at the top of the wishlist for I'm A Celeb bosses for years," a source told the newspaper.
"They've offered him a huge fee as they know he'll drive up viewing figures. Ant and Dec will love this signing.
"Nigel's the ultimate Marmite character and won't hold back in camp discussions.
"It's a real coup. The casting team has nailed it. It's shaping up to be a brilliant series."
Other names linked with the show this year include This Morning's Josie Gibson, Hollyoaks legend Nick Pickard and champion jockey Frankie Dettori.
