Jack Grealish has revealed whether or not he would ever appear on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The Manchester City winger has been a dream campmate for fans of the hit ITV show.
Presenters Ant and Dec even revealed their desire for him to appear on next year’s series in a video shared to social media.
Dec added that he had asked Grealish about the rumours, with the 29-year-old sending a video message to respond.
In the message, the England star explained: “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 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.
“Obviously not this year. I don’t think Pep (Guardiola) would be too happy if I ended up in there this year. But, you know, never say never could happen one day.”
Grealish could follow in the footsteps of recent winners Harry Redknapp and Jill Scott, who were named king and queen of the jungle.
Meanwhile, former Premier League footballers Jimmy Bullard, Kieron Dyer, Wayne Bridge, Dennis Wise, Ian Wright and David Ginola have all appeared in the past.
The current series, which began on Sunday, features former featherweight world champion Barry McGuigan and Wayne Rooney’s wife Coleen.
As for Grealish, he may have to wait with more than two years remaining on his City deal, which expires in 2027.

He is also set to return from injury this weekend after being passed fit to face Tottenham on Saturday evening.
Grealish has not appeared for City since their win over Wolves on October 20.
His injury absence also saw the former Aston Villa captain withdraw from the England squad this month.
Meanwhile, the 10 appearances he has made across all competitions this term have seen Grealish provide two assists for his team-mates.
