Former footballer turned manager Roy Keane could be swapping the pitch for the jungle after being linked to the next series of “I’m A Celebrity…”.
The 43-year old assistant manager told Shortlist magazine that he could be persuaded to take part in the next series, despite rejecting offers to appear in reality TV shows in the past:
“I couldn’t see it, but I’m more open to stuff now. I’ve had the Celebrity Big Brother offers and the jungle stuff.”
Keane added that he’s now not so quick to reject the proposal, saying he met with producers for the hit ITV show:
“I met the jungle people but I thought “nah, not for me”. But the more you say no, the more determined they are to get you, so who knows? There’s more to life than football.”
The comments have led to speculation that Keane will appear in the series when it starts back next month.
If the assistant football manager does take a spot in the Outback, it’s believed he’ll be sharing base camp with Hollyoaks’ Gemma Merna as well as former Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan, TOWIE’s Chloe Sims, TV presenter Melanie Sykes, Dancing On Ice’s Brianne Delcourt and X Factor judge Tulisa.
