ITV bosses are hoping it's third time lucky - as sporting favourite has turned them down twice before
A football star who's never quite made it into the jungle is in "advanced talks" with just a few weeks to go until the new series starts.
One source said: “Ally has such a huge fan base thanks to his years of commentating and punditry, plus his long stint on A Question of Sport. He’d be great for the jungle - as his wife and kids have been telling him forever - so everyone is really hopeful that this will be the year.” If he does sign, he will join a line-up thought to include former pop star Tulisa Contostavlos, dancer Oti Mabuse and Corrie’s Alan Halsall.
He laughed: “The kids aren't talking to me at all. The younger ones would love it and the older ones would love it as well. They are going to school and they are getting it off their pals."
