Chris Eubank in I'm A Celebrity line-up?

Monday 6th October

Ex-boxer Chris Eubank has reportedly signed up for I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.

The former middleweight world champion hopes that his involvement in the show could earn him a generous fee and solve some of his ongoing financial problems, according to reports in Monday's Daily Mirror.

Chris was declared bankrupt in November 2005 owing £1.3million pounds in taxes.

A source close to the boxer 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."

Chris, 42, earned more than 10million pounds as a boxer in the early 1990s, but has struggled financially since quitting the ring in 1998.

The new series of I'm a Celebrity is due to start next month.

But a spokeswoman for ITV said: "We don't confirm names either way at this stage."
