Duncan Bannatyne has become the latest big name to be linked with a spot on the new series of ‘I’m A Celebrity’.
The entrepreneur has reportedly said “I’m in!” to ITV producers, having quit his spot on the ‘Dragon’s Den’ panel at the end of the last series.
An insider tells The Sun: “Duncan is really excited about ‘I’m A Celebrity’ and sees it as a new challenge after ‘Dragons’ Den’.”

Duncan has repeatedly made headlines over the past few months, thanks to his high-profile engagement to Nigora Whitehorn, who’s said to be joining him Down Under before he takes on the jungle.
The source continues: “He and Nigora are madly in love and he cannot wait for her and some of his children to join him out in Australia.”
We can now also add Anne Robinson to the list of rumoured contestants, with the Daily Star reporting that producers have offered her a staggering £750,000 to take part, despite repeatedly turning them down in the past.

Duncan and Anne’s rumoured spot on the line-up comes after Vicky Pattinson was also rumoured, having previously been linked with a place in last year’s series.
However, her former co-star Charlotte Crosby has previously had her hopes of being in the jungle dashed, telling Lorraine Kelly: “I don't think [‘I’m A Celebrity’] would have us. They said they don't want anyone from ‘Geordie Shore’.”
