EastEnders actor Jake Woods is hotly tipped to join the cast of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here following his exit from the BBC soap.
The 49-year-old, who has played Max Branning since 2006, could follow in the footsteps of fellow ‘Enders star Jessica Plummer.
Jake, who is currently starring in the spooky play 2:22 – A Ghost Story alongside Lily Allen, also revealed on Good Morning Britain that he would “love” to take part in the show, which will be based in Wales instead of Australia again this year.
Meanwhile, Ladbrokes has announced that the odds on Jake joining are now down to 5/2.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Jake Wood’s already given Strictly a go, and the odds suggest he’ll soon be following in the footsteps of Albert Square colleagues Shane Richie and Jessica Plummer with a stint in North Wales potentially on the cards.”
Back to GMB, when presenter Ben Shephard asked Jake if he would be keen on signing up he replied. “I’ve made no secret of the fact I’d love to do the jungle.”
