According to The Sun, the 47-year-old sports star, who has the nickname 'The Whirlwind', will enter the Australian jungle in November.
"Jimmy is a proper character who has been around the block a few times," said a source. "He will be great value in the jungle as he tells it like it is and isn't afraid to wind people up."
White, who has an MBE, has reached six Snooker World Championship finals, but has never won the title.
Brian Blessed, Sam Fox, Chris Eubank and backpacker Jamie Neale have all been tipped to appear on the ITV1 reality show later this year.
