Esther Rantzen is being lined up to star in the next series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, reports claim.

The former That's Life host is said to be negotiating with producers about joining the ITV show when it returns later this year.

A source is quoted as saying: "With those teeth, Esther shouldn't find eating some bugs or a kangaroo willy too hard! She's definitely a game old bird. And she will be a good jungle camp leader."

Rantzen, 67, appeared in the second series of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. She rejected an offer to star in Celebrity Big Brother in 2002.
