Former Strictly Come Dancing star Camilla Dallerup and ex-footballer Colin Hendry have been tipped to appear on the new series of I'm A Celebrity.

The duo are expected to be joined in the Australian jungle by ex-Page 3 model Sam Fox, snooker star Jimmy White and Mis-Teeq popstar Sabrina Washington. The full lineup will be confirmed later this week.

Danish professional dancer Dallerup left Strictly after winning series six with Holby City star Tom Chambers.

Hendry quit football management in January 2008 when his wife Denise fell ill. She passed away in July this year.

"In a way, it will be breaking the shackles of Colin's mourning. It will be six weeks away in Australia but he is definitely up for it," a source told The Mirror. "TV chiefs see him as the big strapping guy who'll do anything, eat anything, build anything - a real Braveheart character."

I'm A Celebrity returns for its ninth series on Sunday, November 15 on ITV1.
