Last updated 21st Aug 2017
According to new reports, former The Saturdays singer Vanessa White is set to appear on the upcoming new series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
Vanessa, who had a successful music career with the pop band, is reportedly joining the show after recently splitting up from her boyfriend Gary Salter.
A source has told a national newspaper, "Vanessa is a stunning girl from a massive girlband so she’s an exciting first signing for I’m A Celebrity. The bosses are super keen to have her."
They added, "She’s still focussing on her music career but is up for the challenge since being newly single."
If the new rumours are true, Vanessa will appear on the show at the same time as her former band mate Mollie King is on Strictly Come Dancing. Mollie was the first contestant announced for this year's series two weeks ago.
Vanessa first shot to fame when she joined girlband The Saturdays alongside Frankie Bridge, Rochelle Humes, Una Healey and Mollie King in 2007. The band supported Girls Aloud on tour before going on to have massive hits of their own including 'Up', 'Work', 'Ego' and 'What About Us'.
With I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here set to begin later in the year, rumours of who could be entering the famous jungle are heating up.
As well as Vanessa, the likes of Love Island stars Jonny Mitchell and Mike Thalassitis (Muggy Mike) have also been rumoured to appear on the show.
After the success of his brother, Ryan Thomas has also reportedly been lined-up for the show. Ryan's brother Adam appeared on the 2016 series and finished in third place behind Joel Dommett and eventual Queen of the Jungle Scarlett Moffatt.
