Chloe Burrows is reportedly in advanced talks to join this years I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The former Love Island star, 30, who shot to fame on the ITV2 series back in 2021, is said to have met up with show bosses several times and left them very impressed.

If she does head into the jungle, her signing will follow the huge successes of fellow influencers including Angry Ginge and GK Barry.

Popular content creator Angry Ginge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, won last year's series, while social media star GK, real name Grace Keeling, came in fifth place during her 2024 stint. 

A source told The Sun: Chloe is in advanced talks and they love her. She was hugely popular in Love Island. She made it clear she’d love a chance to go to Australia to be on the show.

'She has a very big following on social media too, very much like Angry Ginge and GK Barry, and ITV bosses think she could bring in a younger audience.'

The insider added: 'ITV moves with the times. They’ve seen the surge of popularity with influencers.'

The Daily Mail contacted representatives for ITV and Chloe for comment, with an ITV spokesperson stating: 'Any names suggested for I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! are just speculation.'

Chloe has carved out an impressive TV and radio career since reaching the Love Island final alongside then partner Toby Aromolaran.

As well as stints on the likes of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, Scared of the Dark and Celebs Go Dating, Chloe also has her own podcast and co-hosts the Kiss Breakfast show with Tyler West. 

Meanwhile, a string of other stars have already been rumoured to be moving into the jungle, including Gavin & Stacey’s Joanna Page, presenter Ade Adepitan, and Olympic ice-skating legend Christopher Dean. 

It comes as the launch date for the new series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! has reportedly been pushed back to avoid clashing with a major sporting event.

The ITV series is set to return for its latest run of episodes this autumn, and typically kicks off on a Sunday in mid-November.

However, sources are now claiming that the newest series of I'm A Celeb has been delayed to start on a Monday, after ITV landed the rights to the UEFA Nations League.

The international tournament kicks off on September 24, with England set to take on World Cup winners Spain on Sunday, November 15.

Kick-off in Madrid is due to be at 8.45pm, which is just 15 minutes before I'm A Celebrity would usually air. 

It's thought that the new series will instead begin on Monday, November 16, 2026.

A source told The Sun: 'Now ITV has the rights to the UEFA Nations League bosses have had to go back to the drawing board.'

A second insider added: 'Bosses have pulled out all the stops to ensure this year's IAC launch show is must-see TV.

'Following the huge success of this year's World Cup, bosses are overjoyed to have such a stellar lineup of entertainment and sport this autumn on ITV.'
