Former 'Holby City' actress Lisa Faulkner is heading to the jungle for 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'

The blonde beauty will be jetting out to the Australian bush next month for the new series of the hit reality show, according to Britain's Daily Star newspaper.

Blur musician Alex James and 'Coronation Street' Shobna Gulati are also rumoured to be among the stars taking part in the hit programme, which sees celebrities battle it out to be King or Queen of the Jungle by taking part in gruelling Bushtucker trials.

Meanwhile, the show's hosts, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, have admitted they could end up as contestants in a future series.

The Geordie duo say they may have to resort to desperate measures if their careers ever go downhill.

Dec said: "When our careers are on the slide we could still have a laugh as contestants on 'I'm A Celeb' - or even do panto."
