Ayda Field has become the latest celebrity rumoured for the upcoming series of ‘I’m A Celebrity’.

The American model - who is married to Robbie Williams and regularly appears on the ‘Loose Women’ panel - was tipped for the show, following reports that producers were keen to move away from stars who already have a large following on social media, as they’re at an advantage.

An insider tells Heat: “ITV bosses are willing to pay out six figures. Ayda hasn’t turned it down yet, so they’re still hopeful.”

Ayda only became a recurring panellist on ‘Loose Women’ earlier this year, but her candid approach has already made her confessions very memorable.

First off, there was the time she opened up about her husband’s past dalliances with fellow popstars, including three of the Spice Girls (according to her at least), plus her admissions about their sex life, which left little to the imagination.

At least we can rely on her to spill the beans if she is jungle-bound...

It’s not all saucy anecdotes, though, with Ayda also speaking honestly about Robbie’s ongoing mental health issues, which she spoke about with the hope of inspiring viewers with similar problems.

With just two months to go until we reach the time ‘I’m A Celebrity’ starts, rumours are starting to come in thick and fast about potential contestants, with ‘Gogglebox’ cast member Scarlett Moffatt, sports pundit Robbie Savage and Olympian Louis Smith all tipped to be in the running.

Check out the full list of potential candidates in the gallery below...

'I'm A Celebrity' 2016 Line-Up Rumours
Sarah Harding(01 of18)

The former Girls Aloud singer is set to appear in a tour of 'Ghost The Musical', but there's a noticeable three-week gap in the middle of the timetable in November, when 'I'm A Celeb' usually airs.

Sarah herself has admitted she'd happily go in the jungle, provided she didn't have to eat any insects which, to be honest, might be a bit of a sticking point. (credit:Mark Cuthbert via Getty Images)
Louis Smith(02 of18)

The Olympic gymnast has already won 'Strictly Come Dancing', and hinted after the 2016 Rio games that he could be destined for the jungle.

He'd be a good signing too, particularly after his behaviour at the Olympics this summer raised eyebrows from some viewers. (credit:Jeff Spicer via Getty Images)
Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini(03 of18)

Cheryl's ex was rumoured to have signed up in a bid to improve his 'reputation' here in the UK, though he dispelled the reports shortly afterwards, insisting he was focussing on work instead.

Jessica Wright(04 of18)

Jess is the latest former 'TOWIE' cast member to be rumoured for the jungle, following on from Ferne McCann, Joey Essex and her brother, Mark Wright. (credit:David M. Benett via Getty Images)
Robbie Savage(05 of18)

After years of asking Robbie Savage to take part in the show, bosses are said to be 'quietly confident' that this will be the year for the football pundit. (credit:Matthew Ashton via Getty Images)
Conrad Murray(06 of18)

So... yeah. Those unfamiliar with Conrad Murray will probably remember that time he was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, following the death of Michael Jackson.

His publicist revealed recently that he was 'in talks' with ITV to get him in the jungle which would be... an interesting move, for both parties. (credit:RexShutterstock)
Coleen Rooney(07 of18)

Coleen was the first celeb to be rumoured for this year's series, but dismissed the claims almost as soon as they arrived. Pity, we think she'd be a right laugh in the jungle. (credit:Tim Whitby - The FA via Getty Images)
Nigel Farage(08 of18)

Now, yes. On the surface this looks like a rumour made up to fill column inches and keep Farage's name in the papers.

And perhaps it is.

But sources have also suggested that the UKIP leader is heading into 'I'm A Celebrity', having previously been lured away from the 'CBB' house by a higher pay packet. We reckon, watch this space... (credit:FREDERICK FLORIN via Getty Images)
Fiona Wade(09 of18)

One of two 'soap babes' (not our words) thought to be in talks for the new series, Fiona is best known for her role as Priya Sharma in 'Emmerdale'. (credit:Karwai Tang via Getty Images)
Adam Thomas(10 of18)

However, Fiona isn't the only soap actor tipped to be joining the line-up, as her 'Emmerdale' co-star Adam Thomas's name has also been mentioned as a potential contestant. (credit:RexShutterstock)
Ryan Lochte(11 of18)

Ryan's place in the jungle doesn't look very likely, as he's already been confirmed for the new series of 'Dancing With The Stars'.

However, it has been suggested that if he leave early (and given his popularity isn't exactly sky-high, it's a definite possibility), ITV bosses could snap him up as a potential late arrival. (credit:Lou Rocco via Getty Images)
Olympia Valance(12 of18)

The second of the *sigh* 'soap babes' thought to have been approached by ITV bosses, Olympia is best known for her role in 'Neighbours'. (credit:Doug Peters/Doug Peters)
Craig Charles(13 of18)
Open Image Modal
You may recall Craig was a contestant on 'I'm A Celeb' back in 2014, but was forced to pull out early due to the sudden death of his brother.

ITV bosses said at the time they'd be keen to have him back, and reports have been swirling that this could be the year for the 'Red Dwarf' actor. (credit:Dave J Hogan via Getty Images)
Spencer Matthews(14 of18)

And Craig isn't the only one.

Spencer was forced to pull out of the last series of 'I'm A Celebrity' due to drug use, but it has been suggested he may get another crack at the jungle this time around. (credit:Mike Marsland via Getty Images)
Helen Lederer(15 of18)

Despite being repeatedly linked with a spot in this summer's 'Celebrity Big Brother', Helen was noticeably absent from the line-up. It's since been suggested that a higher offer from 'I'm A Celebrity' helped her make her decision. (credit:Roberto Ricciuti via Getty Images)
Adam Peaty(16 of18)

Gold medallist Adam has expressed interest in joining 'I'm A Celeb', which ordinarily we could definitely see happening, but given just how many Olympians have been rumoured this year, surely it's not going to be an all-athlete special? (credit:John Walton/PA Wire)
Sam Reece(17 of18)
Open Image Modal
Best known for getting dumped by Stephanie Davis back in January, Sam is reportedly among the stars headed Down Under (which we're sure his ex is just thrilled about). (credit:Neil P. Mockford via Getty Images)
Alex Salmond(18 of18)
Open Image Modal
Former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond has denied claims he has signed up for 'I'm A Celeb', but did suggest that ex-PM David Cameron could be a contestant instead.

We think he's kidding... but could you imagine? (credit:Jack Taylor via Getty Images)
