Former E17 pop star Brian Harvey has reportedly been given the all-clear by psychologists to appear in the next series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!

The 30-year-old singer was forced to undergo a series of tests before producers would allow him to enter the jungle, The Sun reports.

An insider said: "Let's face it. Brian has been through enough tough times to cope with a stint in the jungle."

Brian's career plummeted after he was thrown out of E17 for condoning ecstasy use and he has recently been recovering from severe depression.

The ITV1 show is due to start next month. Other stars lined up for the new series include model Sophie Anderton, 27, and former royal butler Paul Burrell, 46.

Others celebs rumoured to be in the line-up include Olympic ice skating champs Jayne Torvill, 47, and Christopher Dean, 46, Seventies Page 3 girl Jilly Johnson, 52, and 1990s popstar Chesney Hawkes, 33.

Brian's blonde model girlfriend Emma B, 24, is still deciding whether to join him in the Australian jungle. The pair were set to be the show's first ready-made couple, but are rumoured to be having problems with their three year relationship.
