Christine McGuinness has set tongues wagging across the UK after dropping her strongest hint yet about a potential stint in the Australian jungle for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! The model and television personality sent social media into a frenzy with a cryptic post that has fans convinced she's heading Down Under.
Social Media Sparks Speculation
Taking to Instagram, the 35-year-old shared a stunning photo of herself in a vibrant yellow bikini, but it was her caption that really got people talking. "I'm ready for the jungle," she wrote, accompanied by jungle and snake emojis that sent her followers into meltdown.
The timing couldn't be more significant, coming just months after her separation from television presenter husband Paddy McGuinness after 11 years of marriage. Friends of the star suggest this could be the perfect fresh start for Christine as she embarks on a new chapter in her life.
Fan Reaction Goes Wild
Within minutes of her post, comments flooded in from excited fans. "OMG are you going in the jungle?!" wrote one follower, while another commented: "This has to be an I'm A Celeb announcement! You'd be amazing!"
The speculation comes as ITV bosses are reportedly finalising the lineup for the upcoming series, which typically films in November. Christine would join the likes of Nigel Farage and other rumoured celebrities heading into the jungle this year.
A New Beginning
Since announcing her separation from Top Gear host Paddy in 2022, Christine has been focusing on her career and their three children. The former couple, who share twins Penelope and Leo, 10, and Felicity, 7, have remained committed to co-parenting despite going their separate ways.
A source close to the star revealed: "Christine is ready for new challenges and what better way to show the world what she's made of than taking on the jungle? She's stronger than people realise and this could be her moment to shine."
While ITV has remained tight-lipped about the official lineup, Christine's social media hint has certainly fuelled the fire. With her growing popularity and recent personal journey, she'd likely be a fan favourite if she does indeed enter the jungle.
