Rumours are swirling that a fan-favourite Coronation Street star could be swapping the cobbles of Weatherfield for the Australian jungle in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2024.
Insiders suggest ITV bosses are keen to sign up a major soap star for the upcoming series, and one Corrie actor is reportedly at the top of their wishlist.
Who’s in the Running?
While names are being kept tightly under wraps, speculation points to a long-standing Coronation Street cast member known for their dramatic storylines and comedic timing. Could it be a villainous legend or a beloved comedy figure?
Why a Soap Star?
Soap actors have historically been a hit on I'm A Celeb, with past contestants like Helen Flanagan (Rosie Webster) and Andy Whyment (Kirk Sutherland) winning over audiences. Their familiarity with long filming hours and dramatic performances makes them ideal candidates for the gruelling reality show.
An insider revealed: "Producers love soap stars because they bring in loyal fans and are usually up for any challenge. This Corrie actor would be perfect – they’ve got the personality and the fanbase."
When Will We Know?
The official lineup for I'm A Celebrity 2024 won’t be confirmed until closer to the show’s November launch. However, if the rumours are true, Coronation Street fans could be in for a treat seeing one of their favourites take on the jungle.
