Bosses think Kelly could possibly be their sexiest contestant ever[/caption]
A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Show bosses have been after Kelly as a campmate for years and think she could possibly be their sexiest contestant ever.
“She’s glamorous, witty and a familiar face to ITV audiences, having appeared as a panellist for Loose Women and other shows.
“She’s guaranteed to make perfect TV viewing.”
The insider added of the Heart FM DJ: “Many viewers will be excited to see her strip off for the famous jungle waterfall show too.”
In 2018 Kelly insisted she would never take part in the series.
She said: “I can just think of a million things I’d rather do.
“I’d rather go and work in my local pub.
“I don’t think I could, I really don’t, because I hate confined spaces.
“I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles and all the things they have to eat on there.
“Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn’t do it.”
She added: “It’s kind of like the beginning of the end in my opinion!”
Last year Kelly and her husband Jeremy Parisi, 40, took part in BBC reality travel show Celebrity Race Across the World.
She shot to fame aged 18, enjoying a hugely successful modelling career.
She also acted in films while appearing in several TV shows.
Her exes include film hardman Jason Statham, US actor Billy Zane, plus rugby players Danny Cipriani and Thom Evans.
She hooked up with Jeremy in 2014 after sending him a message on Instagram and they wed in 2022.
She recalled: “He had such kind eyes and a beautiful smile. I was immediately attracted to him.”
Other celebrities rumoured to be taking part in I’m A Celeb this year are broadcaster Nick Ferrari, rapper Aitch, Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley and former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty.
A spokesman for ITV said: “We do not comment on speculation about I’m A Celebrity contestants.”
