Ally McCoist ‘in talks for I’m A Celebrity’

OHMYGOSSIP — Ally McCoist is in talks to join ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’.
The football legend has turned down taking part in the reality series in 2019 and 2022 but now is in “advanced talks” to head to the jungle for this year’s edition of the longrunning ITV show.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Ally has such a huge fan base thanks to his years of commentating and punditry, plus his long stint on ‘A Question of Sport’.
“He’d be great for the jungle – as his wife and kids have been telling him forever – so everyone is really hopeful that this will be the year.”
Explaining why he turned it down in 2022, the former player – who is now a radio host and commentator – suggested at the time that it was because of the creepy crawlies, saying: “I’m not a fan of cockroaches.”
Speaking at the time, he admitted many of the other challenges wouldn’t bother him too much.
He added: “The bit where you jump out of the helicopter or plane at the start – I’d like to do that. But then the rest is downhill. You don’t really know until you’re there, but I actually think being in the coffin with the rats and snakes – from where I’m sitting right now – I don’t think that would bother me that much.”
After previously snubbing the show, Ally revealed his family were really annoyed when didn’t take up the opportunity and he joked they were ignoring him over the decision.
He said: “The kids aren’t talking to me at all. The younger ones would love it and the older ones would love it as well. They are going to school and they are getting it off their pals.
“My wife is not giving a monkey’s about me eating spiders and earwigs, she is just wanting a two stretch in that Versace hotel. It’s the biggest thing we watch as a family, it’s brilliant entertainment.”
If Ally does join this year’s line-ups, could be in the jungle with the likes of pop star Tulisa Contostavlos, dancer Oti Mabuse and ‘Coronation Street’s’ Alan Halsall.
