Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly teased a potential star for next year’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! during their Instagram Live on Tuesday.
The presenters go Live each night following the main ITV series, for their social media show called Jungle Club.
In the latest episode, the Geordie duo had Jamie Oliver make a guest appearance – who revealed his wife Jools is up for taking part next year.
British chef Jamie sent in a video for the duo to play to fans, saying: ‘Thanks for the offer boys, I would love to come on I’m A Celeb.
‘I think it’s an amazing show, but honestly you couldn’t give me enough olive oil in the world to make me eat a witchetty grub or a kangaroo’s a**e, no way.
‘But what I can give you is my wife Jools, she would love to be on the show. Go on Jools.’

Ant said: ‘We would take Jools,’ while Dec added: ‘Jools Oliver, first booking for 2025. Thanks Jools, see you in Australia next year.’
With a week and half of the show remaining, it’s too early for bookers to be thinking about next year’s show. But each year they try and pull out the stops celebrity campmate wise – and fans would consider Jools a good signing.
There is no word yet from Jools and whether she is really a fan of the show, or whether Jamie was just joking.
The line-up for next year’s show would only be confirmed the week before the show starts next November.
It comes after Ant and Dec sent fans wild as England footballer Jack Grealish sent a video to the pair revealing he would ‘love to do’ I’m A Celeb.
The Manchester City winger, 29, sent a video message to the excited hosts after they quizzed him about whether he would consider going Down Under.
During Jungle Club, Dec quipped: ‘Jack Grealish. What do you think about Jack Grealish for next year?’
‘I think Jack Grealish will be very very good,’ admitted Ant, with Dec responding: ‘I asked Jack Grealish whether he will do the show. I said people had been suggesting him and this is what he said.’
Jamie said: ‘I can give you is my wife Jools, she would love to be on the show. Go on Jools’
Ant said: ‘We would take Jools,’ while Dec added: ‘ Jools Oliver , first booking for 2025. Thanks Jools, see you in Australia next year’

‘Oh my God!,’ replied Ant, as Dec held his phone up to reveal what the football star said.
Donning his Manchester City football kit, Jack said: ‘Hey guys, Jack here. I’ve heard that a few of you guys want to see me in the Jungle. I can’t lie, it is something that I’d absolutely love to do.
‘It’s a show that I’ve watched, you know, for years and years, since I was little. And yeah, a show that I love.
‘I don’t know how I’d get on in there. I don’t think I’d be the best to be honest but yeah, I’d give it a go.’
He clarified: ‘Obviously not this year – I don’t think Pep would be too happy if I ended up in there this year. But you know, never say never, it could happen one day.’
After the clip ended, the I’m A Celeb production team errupted into cheers and Ant shouted: ‘Oh my God! Jack Grealish. We love you Jack.’
Also pleased by his response, Dec went on to chant: ‘We love you Grealish, we do. Oh Grealish, we love you.’
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! airs every night at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX.
