McFly's Danny Jones is poised to fill the slot left vacant by Tommy Fury in ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! according to sources.

Tommy Fury, the boxer and Love Island sensation who ended his engagement with Molly-Mae Hague earlier this year, has reportedly long been in talks with the producers of the popular ITV reality series. However, he is said to have opted out as the launch date looms ever closer.

Recently, Tommy skillfully evaded inquiries about his potential jungle adventure, coyly telling Heart Breakfast: "Listen a lot of things in my life is like a rollercoaster in a minute. There are so many things I might do.

"You know, could he be doing this? Could he be doing that? To be honest with you, I don't know what I'm doing this afternoon.

"I mean, I just take literally an hour at a time, so I don't know. There's a lot of things going on in my life right now. So, I'm not sure on anything."

Now, in a surprising twist, an insider has divulged that it is McFly star Danny who will be heading Down Under to brave the jungle trials.

The source excitedly revealed: "As well as bringing some of the star appeal of the group with him, he'll be supplying some serious guy candy for the campmates and viewers at home," alluding to the charm and allure Danny is set to deliver to audiences, reports the Mirror.

ITV chiefs reportedly pinned their hopes on reality sensation Tommy to boost viewership for their hit series, expecting him to reveal all about his sensational split from Molly-Mae Hague.

The ex-pair, who found fame on the fifth instalment of Love Island, had moved in together, welcomed a baby named Bambi in January last year, and even got engaged.

Yet, audiences were left reeling when they declared their separation after a five-year romance. Speculation was rife that Tommy would open up around the campfire, alongside fellow stars, and divulge the real story behind his breakup with his former flame amid whispers of cheating.
