Former boxing champion David Haye is reportedly in advanced discussions to join the highly anticipated ‘I’m A Celebrity All Stars’ series, which will be filmed in South Africa. The 44-year-old, known for his impressive boxing career, was previously a fan favorite on the 2012 series, where he finished in third place. ITV producers are said to be keen on his return, despite Haye making recent headlines regarding unpaid debts reportedly nearing £600,000.
David Haye’s Return to the Jungle
According to The Sun, ITV reached out to Haye with an offer to participate in the spin-off series, and he appears enthusiastic about the opportunity. Sources claim he is looking forward to the experience, even if it brings tough conversations around the campfire about his much-publicized personal life and unique relationships. The former boxing champ has drawn media attention for being part of a three-way ‘throuple’ relationship, sparking significant curiosity among fans.
If he joins the series, Haye will follow in the footsteps of stars like Myleene Klass and Jordan Banjo, who participated in the inaugural ‘All Stars’ installment in 2023. The spin-off aims to revisit some of the most memorable contestants in the show’s history, offering viewers plenty of nostalgic entertainment.
Tax Disputes and Financial Troubles
Alongside plans for his jungle comeback, reports suggest that Haye is in a legal battle with British tax authorities. Allegedly, the fighter has unresolved corporation tax debts spanning from 2010 to 2013, amounting to almost £600,000. Despite these challenges, the opportunity to join another ITV series could help Haye rebuild his public image and financial standing.
Other Stars in the Mix
Haye isn’t the only celebrity rumored to participate in the South African edition of ‘I’m A Celebrity All Stars.’ Reports suggest Ashley Roberts, the former Pussycat Dolls member, may also be joining. She made a lasting impression during her original appearance with her “iconic” moments under the outback waterfall.
Comedian Seann Walsh is another contender for the upcoming season. Walsh previously sought redemption during his 2022 appearance after controversy surrounding the Strictly Come Dancing scandal. His stint in the jungle earned him a respectable fifth-place finish, and he remains a fan favorite.
Additionally, reality TV personality Gemma Collins is rumored to be in negotiations. Despite her brief participation in 2014, she reportedly has a lucrative deal in the works for her return.
Star-Studded Lineup Awaits Fans
The first ‘All Stars’ season successfully featured a range of past contestants, including Jungle King Harry Redknapp, Carol Vorderman, and Helen Flanagan. Redknapp, a fan favorite, is said to be considering another high-profile deal for the new series. Producers are reportedly determined to stack the cast with big names to ensure the show’s success once again.
The upcoming All Stars series promises to deliver drama, entertainment, and a mix of familiar faces returning to test their limits in the wild. Fans are eager to see whether David Haye and other rumored celebrities will confirm their participation soon.
