Former Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips reportedly signs up for the new series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Former Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips has reportedly signed up to appear on this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

At 78, the move would make her the show's oldest ever contestant, beating the record held by Stanley Johnson, who was 77 when he appeared in the 2017 series.

Once again this year I'm A Celebrity is being held in damp Wales instead of the Aussie jungle due to coronavirus and with just weeks to go until the start, producers are now finalising the celeb lineup.

"Arlene is strong and tough and her energy is boundless," a source told The Sun.

"No doubt she'll have the group dancing around the campfire in a bid to beat the cold and keep morale high. Should be fun."

Other famous faces rumoured to be in the lineup include former BBC Breakfast host Louise Minchin and Coronation Street actor Sam Aston.
