Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe is rumoured to be heading into the jungle after her character Mercedes McQueen is shot. In October Mercedes rocky few months - cheating with Liam Donovan, that hit and run with Grace Black, and secretly having an abortion - will catch up on her and she'll be left fighting for her life. Hollyoaks' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood has teased the whodunit storyline "will play out for a couple of months" which means Jennifer will probably have a break from filming. Does this mean she'll have time to go into the jungle? We sure hope so.

Since I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here first hit our TV screens way back in 2002, the show, which is fronted by Geordie duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, has been a massive hit with viewers.

After former football manager Harry Redknapp stole the hearts of the nation last year, winning the show ahead of Emily Atack and John Barrowman, rumours are flying around as to which celebs will be in the 2019 line-up.

Despite the rumours, ITV are yet to officially confirm any names for the 2019 line-up. Although, we have to say, the one above would be amazing.

We may not have any concrete campmates to look forward to, but one personality we can't WAIT to see on our screens once more is host Ant McPartlin, who took a year off last season to focus on his mental health after a testing few months, the climax of which was a drink driving arrest and subsequent rehab stay.

In a statement last year, ITV bosses said, "Ant McPartlin today announces he will continue to take a break from all television presenting roles until 2019. Ant will not present 'I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' in November this year.

"Clearly he won't come back a moment too soon. He will come back when he's well and when he is ready to come back, and ITV will not be putting him under any pressure to come back unless he's well and fit enough to come back."

I'm A Celebrity will return to ITV later in the year.
