A McFly star is reported to be in “final talks” to join I’m A Celebrity this year.
McFly singer Danny Jones could be entering the jungle, joining the final cast of this year’s series at the last minute. It comes after reports Tommy Fury, who was due to head Down Under, dropped out of the line-up.
This is not the first time that a McFly star will have taken part in the show, as bassist Dougie Poynter came out on top in the 2011 series of the show. Nine years later, Giovanna Fletcher, the wife of lead singer Tom, also came out on top, when the show was temporarily relocated to Wales due to COVID.

Danny is also a fan of all things ITV, after he starred on The Voice Kids as a coach. Things went so well for Danny on the show that he was given an upgrade to be a coach for the adult series, together with bandmate Tom.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper, a source said: “As well as bringing some of the star appeal of the group with him, he’ll be supplying some serious guy candy for the campmates and viewers at home. All the McFly guys are gym fanatics and Danny in particular has a great physique – which he’s bound to show off in the jungle.”
They added: “He’ll be keeping up with the proud tradition of I’m A Celebrity hunks who’ve been on the show over the years including Owen Warner and Joel Dommett. And he’ll fill the jungle hunk gap left by Tommy Fury after he declined the opportunity earlier this month.”

Singer Danny has been wowing audiences with McFly ever since the band got together in 2003. Since then, he has been a staple of the music scene, landing jobs on TV and radio working with music in some shape or form.
The loveable hunk has also gotten hitched, marrying former Miss England babe Georgia Horsley in 2014. The couple share a doting six-year-old son, with Danny being a perfect dad to his child.
Outside of his new career on The Voice, he also had a stint on The Masked Singer earlier this year. Being unmasked as “Piranha” on the show, Bolton lad Danny emerged as the winner, going unnoticed by the celebrity judging panel.

He is also having a great year with his band McFly, after they celebrated the 21st anniversary of their debut single, Five Colours in Her Hair. He also has been having a ball touring together with his bandmates – as well as fellow 00s band Busted.
Danny’s reported signing comes after Tommy Fury dropped out of going into the jungle, amid his split from Molly-Mae Hague. Colleen Rooney is now set to enter the jungle, and is reported to have secured the largest appearance fee in the show’s history – higher than the £1.5million it took ITV to land Reform UK leader Nigel Farage.
