According to the Daily Star, the singer, 29, will enter the jungle because he needs to earn money for a legal fight with ex-wife Kerry Katona over custody of their children.
"Brian lost his profile in the UK after leaving Westlife," said a source. "The jungle would be the perfect chance for a comeback.
"The show made Kerry a national treasure. Things haven't been too great lately but the show brought her back from obscurity. It could do the same for Brian."
McFadden currently lives in Australia with his fiancée Delta Goodrem. He is reportedly pursuing custody of his daughters Molly, 8, and Lily-Sue, 6, following allegations that Katona is suffering from drug addiction.
Other celebrities tipped to appear on the ITV1 reality show this year include WAGs Lizzie Cundy and Nicola T, snooker star Jimmy White, former glamour model Sam Fox and Brian Blessed.
