Nick Ferrari for LBC
Seasoned talk radio host Nick Ferrari is reportedly in line for this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The 66-year-old has hosted LBC’s breakfast show since 2001 and is a regular commentator on ITV’s This Morning but has resisted all reality TV appearances to date.
That could soon change, according to The Sun, as ITV has made a “big-money offer” to tempt him into the Australian jungle.
A source told the newspaper: “Jungle bosses think Nick would be a brilliant addition this year. Discussions are very much ongoing.
“He knows everyone in politics so he would have a wealth of Westminster gossip around the campfire. He’d also be likely to weigh in during rows and give his opinion.
“Producers are determined to bag him this year and are prepared to dig deep into their pockets for a lucrative fee.
“It would be the first time Nick’s fans would see him in an entertainment show. He’d definitely be out of his comfort zone.”
Other celebs rumoured for the new series, which begins in November, include Emmerdale star Lisa Riley and ex-EastEnders actress Shona McGarty.
