    Boris Johnson is said to be in talks to appear on the next I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.

    The former Prime Minister, 59, could be about to follow in his former health secretary Matt Hancock's footsteps.

    However, it is looking unlikely fans will get to see BoJo chomping on a testicle Down Under.

    One source told the Mirror : "He’s not looking likely. The truth is he doesn’t need the cash as much as he did before, thanks to his income from speeches and, of course, he still thinks he’s going to stage some sort of political comeback at some stage."

    The reported "talks" comes six years after his dad, Stanley Johnson, appeared on the gruelling ITV reality show in 2017.

    Mr Hancock appeared in the jungle last year and insists he did not "primarily" go on the show for the money, despite his reported £320,000.

    He donated £10,000, 3% of his total fee, to two charities, which he defended as a "decent sum".

    The former politician went into the jungle "to try to show who I am".

    Coronation Street legend Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone Dobbs, is also reportedly in talks with I'm A Celeb bosses.

    Alan, 40, would join the likes of Danny Miller, Andy Whyment and Adam Woodyatt as soap stars who have entered the jungle in recent years.

    Thanks to his soap role, the TV star would come with a "ready-made fan base" too, who would surely tune in to watch him in the jungle.

    A source told The Sun: "Alan is a top lad with bags of personality so ITV are over the moon he's in talks to join their 2023 cast."

    They added: "I'm A Celeb viewers love a jungle shower surprise and Alan is hiding a killer bod under Tyrone's oil-streaked mechanic overalls.

    "Alan might be 40 but he easily ticks the soap hunk box, too."

    An I'm A Celeb spokesperson has said any names suggested for the show are "speculation" – so viewers will have to wait a few months before the official line-up is announced.
