Cash-strapped ex-boxer Chris Eubank has signed up for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
The former world middleweight champion believes a lucrative deal to appear on the ITV show will ease his financial troubles, a source claimed.
He was declared bankrupt in November 2005 owing £1.3million in taxes.
A source said: "Chris is set to do the show - it's in the early stages but he is really keen.
"He thinks it could be the answer to his financial troubles."
Eubank, 42, from Brighton, earned more than £10million as a boxer in the early 1990s but has struggled financially since quitting the ring in 1998.
The new series of the show is expected to start next month.
But a spokeswoman for ITV said: "We don't confirm names either way at this stage."
