Football legend Harry Redknapp is rumoured to be heading down under.

The former football boss, who managed seven English clubs, is said to be one of the star line up in this year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

Redknapp, 71, is said to be pocketing a fee of around £100,000 for joining the likes of Coronation Street actress Sair Khan and Anne Hegarty from The Chase.

After a career playing midfield for multiple clubs throughout the 1960s and 70s then managing Bournemouth, West Ham, Portsmouth, Southampton, Tottenham, QPR and Birmingham City, Redknapp will no doubt be prepared for any slippery critters he may meet in the jungle.

Redknapp, dad to Jamie and uncle to Frank Lampard, have previously admitted he doesn’t think he would cope well without his better half Sandra.

“Harry is never anything less than good value. He’s had a long, interesting career and knows a lot of famous people. He’ll be fun to watch,” a source reportedly told the Mirror.

Others rumoured to be join gin the line-up include Inbetweeners star Emily Atack and Nick Knowles, of DIY SOS fame.
