Eastenders’ Jake Wood is soon to leave the show and it seems he already has his heart set on another TV project.
The actor has no concrete plans for his year-long break from the soap but he does have a fascination with I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here.
Speaking to Radio Times recently, he said:”I do really like that show. Everyone I’ve spoken to who’s done it has said they really enjoyed it. I’m not squeamish – so eating strange stuff wouldn’t bother me.
“It would be a good holiday for the family as well, wouldn’t it? And the money would be nice. But I think the main appeal is that it’s a different kind of experience”.

Although nothing has been confirmed, it sounds very much like Jake could be headed Down Under later this year.
The 43-year-old also revealed that by the time he finishes filming, he will have appeared in “987 episodes”.
“Max has had a very hectic nine years. So I think both he and I need this break” said Jake.
