Several more names are being tipped for the upcoming second series of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!
According to The Sun today, eleven celebrities will be taking part this time round, up from the eight who graced the Australian jungle last year.
Former EastEnders actress Danniella Westbrook has long been known to be doing the show, which begins on ITV1 and ITV2 at the start of next month. The 29-year-old has insisted a doctor be on standby however, the newspaper reports, following the recent £10,000 operation to rebuild the septum of her cocaine-ravaged nose.
"Danniella was one of the first to agree to do the show, and she'll be great. But she did ask if they had a doctor on standby," said a close friend. "After all, she has only recently recovered from extensive surgery and doesn't want to take any chances with her health."
Chef Antony Worrall-Thompson and cricketer Phil Tufnell look dead certs to be joining Danniella, as does former Tory MP Edwina Currie.
New names being bounded about today include ITV's weather presenter Sian Lloyd, boxing champion Frank Bruno and George Best's model son Calum.
Producers have also asked two female models -- ditsy party girl Jordan, whose ex-lover Dane Bowers has similarly been approached, and Page 3 girl Jodie Marsh, who recently split with Westlife's Kian Egan.
