Chris Moyles has reportedly signed up for the upcoming series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.

Other stars reported to have signed up for the jungle next month include 1980s pop icon Boy George, comedian Seann Walsh and former Love Islander Olivia Attwood.

A source told The Sun: ‘Chris is a huge signing for I’m A Celebrity and they have been trying to sign him for years.
‘Previously he’s turned them down for a number of reasons but this year feels like the right time.
‘Chris has signed up and is preparing himself mentally and physically to go Down Under. This a huge moment for him and he cannot wait to get stuck in.
‘Fans of the show are in for a real treat and Chris has no doubt there will be some people who will be ringing to vote for him to do some of the gruelling trials.

A representative for Chris has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly said they wanted to see Moyles as a campmate back in 2012.
Geordie Dec explained: ‘He would be really funny, he’d probably win.
‘And he’s lost so much weight, even the lack of food wouldn’t bother him.’ Ant added: ‘The thing is eventually they all say yes. We just wear them down.’

Last year Chris admitted he would struggle on the show because of his crippling fear of heights.
He said he had no idea he was so scared until he took his girlfriend Tiffany Austin’s niece to Go Ape.
Speaking on Radio X with Vernon Kay, Chris said: ‘I just wouldn’t be good on I’m a Celeb because we had Tiff’s niece last week and we took her to Go Ape, you know the treetop adventure place?
‘I papped myself and I realised I’m more scared of heights than I actually genuinely thought I was, and I knew I was scared of heights.’
He added: ‘This guy was behind me with his daughter, he was talking me across all the bridges: ‘You’ll be fine, you’ve got this, don’t worry about it’.
‘Meanwhile his daughter’s like hanging off stuff with one arm.’
