Boxer Bugner tipped for 'I'm A Celeb'

Former boxing champion Joe Bugner is being lined up for the new series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, a report has claimed.

Show producers are hoping that the 59-year-old will put in impressive performances in the Bushtucker Trials, according to the Daily Star.

A source commented: "He's still rough and tough."

Bugner moved to Australia after retiring from boxing in 1977. He then went on to open a vineyard with his wife.

WAG Lizzy Cundy, socialite Petrina Khashoggi, Playboy model Bridget Marquardt and How Clean Is Your House? star Kim Woodburn have all been linked to the show in recent weeks.

The new series of I'm A Celebrity... kicks off on ITV1 on November 15.
