Jimmy Bullard, Rory McIlroy's Rumoured Ex to Appear on I'm a Celebrity...

This year's cast of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has a strong sporting theme with former Premier League star Jimmy Bullard, four-time world superbike champion Carl Fogarty and the reported ex-girlfriend of Rory McIlory, lingerie model Nadia Forde, among the cast. 

Famed prankster Bullard will be the standout choice for many football fans, and supporters will be hoping the former Fulham and Hull City man recreates the type of antics that made him a one man viral hit machine throughout his career. 

Whether he is able to keep his positive demeanour while being asked to eat Kangaroo testicles remains to be seen.

Lingerie model Forde has been picked for the show after being linked romantically with golfer Rory McIlory earlier this year.

She told the Daily Mail on arrival in Australia: "I'm looking forward to the challenge ahead and yes, I've packed lots of bikinis! The flight was really nice. I am a big fan of the show and I'm happy to be in Australia and love the sunshine."

Fogarty, now 49, will be hoping his skills on the track will translate to the jungle, while Coronation Street actor Craig Charles, rapper Tinchy Stryder and presenter/model Melaine Sykes have also been confirmed.
