I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here star Mark Wright has declared that he would like to be the next James Bond.
The Only Way Is Essex favourite reaffirmed his desire to launch an acting career following his departure from the ITV2 reality show in October.
"There are certainly opportunities that involve acting," he said. "Eventually, I'd love to work in Hollywood - I'm not stupid enough to believe that's going to happen in the near future.
"But as they say, 'Reach for the skies'. I never said I wanted to be the new James Bond but everyone is saying it now so I just own it."
Wright added that he knew appearing on I'm a Celebrity would be good for him "in a business sense".
"I'm hoping to do some drama with one of the TOWIE producers but I've also been offered some presenting work," he said.
"TOWIE will survive without me. It will continue to be the success it always has been."
Wright also claimed today that he is "not interested" in a romance with I'm a Celebrity co-star Emily Scott.
