Ex-England goalkeeper Peter Shilton is considering taking part in this year's I'm A Celebrity....

The football star, who still holds the record for the most England international caps ahead of David Beckham, said that he would not rule out a trip to the jungle later this year.

A source told DS: "Peter would love to tackle the jungle but the thought of bushucker trials is currently putting him off."

Former football stars Rodney Marsh, John Fashanu and Neil Ruddock have previously taken part in the ITV1 show.

Shilton's recent TV appearances include Let's Dance For Sport Relief, where he performed alongside Jason Cundy.

The sports legend is currently promoting his England World Cup song 'We're England Underneath', which he recorded with Thomas Spencer-Wortley at Abbey Road Studios. The track, which features fans from every team in the English football league, is released on April 24.

ITV is planning a £20 million revamp of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, according to reports.

The channel is looking to bring in more high-profile celebrities for the next series and extend the length of time they spend in the jungle, says The Sun.

The reality show, which enters its tenth series this November, will also be filmed in HD for the first time.

A source said: "Television as a whole may be suffering from budget cuts, but everyone is determined to spend whatever it takes to make I'm A Celeb a success.

"Given that spend, and the sort of celebrities we're hoping to attract this year, it's certainly worth adding on a few extra days for the increased advertising and sponsorship revenue we can attract.

"HD is now a must for all our big shows, but it will cost another £500,000 to do it in Australia."

Reports yesterday linked John Terry's wife, Toni, with an appearance on the upcoming series.

The producers of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! are reportedly hoping to sign up more controversial contestants for this year's series.

According to the Daily Star Sunday, show bosses want "nasty" celebrities to cause drama in the jungle and wind up viewers.

A source said: "This year there won’t just be one bad egg, there will be a basketful. In the past we’ve always put one person in the mix who’s going to be the troublemaker. Well this year, it’s going to be a rogues’ gallery of baddies.

"We have all come to realise that we won’t get another Jordan and Peter love story or any sex. We have more chance of ‘war’ than ‘phwoarr’. So viewers can just sit back and watch the insults fly."

The new series, which is fronted by Ant and Dec, is scheduled to air on ITV1 in November.

Ex-football chairman Simon Jordan and Mitch Winehouse have reportedly been approached for I'm A Celebrity....

According to the Sunday Mirror, Big Brother star 'nasty' Nick Bateman is also on the producers' wishlist for the new series.

The latest rumours follow reports that the ITV1 show is cutting back on the budget it has to pay the celebrities to enter the jungle.

"With the move into HD, the cupboard is bare and talent bookers have to think out of the box," said a source. "They are focusing on less bankable stars, and stars' relations or ex-lovers."

Contestants taking part this year will apparently take home £20,000 for a maximum three weeks of work.
