Gemma Collins in talks for I’m A Celebrity comeback – 11 years after iconic exit following just three days in camp
GEMMA Collins is in talks to join I’m A Celebrity All-Stars despite quitting camp after just three days.
ITV has begun initial talks with the best-loved campmates ahead of filming in South Africa.
The GC, 44, tops execs’ wish list after the reality star’s abysmal I’m A Celeb effort Down Under in 2014.
A source said: “She hated it first time round but knows it would be TV gold for her fans if she gave it another go.
“The discussions could go either way but signing her would be a huge win for execs.”
Back in 2014, Gemma’s complaints over the camp’s dunny and the lack of food made for hilarious scenes.
She claimed to have malaria and had a panic attack before being taken to the camp in a helicopter.
A year after quitting, Gemma told The Sun she wanted another go.
She said: “Everything would be different a second time.
“I’d be like Lara Croft and Angelina Jolie rolled into one, and I’d do the tasks. I’m not scared of nothing.
“Hopefully one day the producers may give me another chance.”
It comes after she said she wants to be the next Victoria Beckham, with fiancé Rami Hawash as David.
The ex-Towie star plans to move from Essex, saying: “The only way is the Cotswolds for me.”
I’m A Celebrity . . . South Africa first aired in spring 2023 and averaged 5.2million viewers across its consecutive weeknights run.
It reached more than a million 16 to 34-year-olds for the launch episode.
The new run will be filmed in October and air in 2026.
