Jordan North has weighed in on rumours circling this morning on the line-up for this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

Earlier today, LancsLive reported on rumours of the line-up, including a 'leak' that WAG Coleen Rooney is set to join the jungle programme for an extremely high fee. Other famous faces rumoured to be involved in the latest series, hosted by Ant and Dec, include boxer Tommy Fury, former footballer Ally McCoist and broadcaster Jeremy Clarkson.

Adding to the rumour mill, Jordan from Burnley, spoke about the line-up on the Capital Breakfast show which he hosts alongside Sian Welby and Chris Stark. Jordan himself appeared in the 2020 series of I'm A Celeb where he finished as a runner-up to winner Giovanna Fletcher.

Calling it the "best show on telly", Jordan takes a look at the rumoured list and gives his insight. He said: "Coleen Rooney definitely will be going in. I just, I can just feel it."

To this, Sian replied: "She had the big Wagga the Christie thing, didn't she her and Rebecca Vardy, that documentary she did was huge, and she actually came across really well on that. So I think she'd do well in the jungle."

The trio then went on to discuss the other celebrities that may be heading down to Australia for the popular ITV reality show. They say Tulisa Contostavlos, a member of band N-Dubz and a former X-Factor judge, is a likely candidate to be heading Down Under.

Sian and Jordan also agree GK Barry, known for her social media presence, could be a likely fit. However, one Jordan is not sure on is former footballer and pundit Ally McCoist.

He explained: "Because it's just, I can feel it in my waters, right? And there's just some about Ali McCoist, because it'll be the middle of the season.

"He does a lot of reporting. He also works on, he does a breakfast show on a radio station. He's the only one. Tommy Fury I reckon."

Jordan also said Phillip Schofield "won't be going in" and there is "not a chance" that Jeremy Clarkson has signed up for the show. He explained: "No, this is a guy who is a multi- multi millionaire, they won’t be able to afford Clarkson, he won’t do it.

"He doesn’t need to do it. My top three that are going in 100%; Oti, GK Barry and Tulisa."
