Jennifer Metcalfe

Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe is rumoured to be heading into the jungle after her character Mercedes McQueen is shot. In October Mercedes rocky few months - cheating with Liam Donovan, that hit and run with Grace Black, and secretly having an abortion - will catch up on her and she'll be left fighting for her life. Hollyoaks' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood has teased the whodunit storyline "will play out for a couple of months" which means Jennifer will probably have a break from filming. Does this mean she'll have time to go into the jungle? We sure hope so.

It added, "At the end of the summer, will they choose to go back to their partner or stick to flying solo? Hosts Emily and Joel will be there every step of the way as their mentors, guiding them on their journey".

After Scarlett Moffatt and Joe Swash QUIT I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp, it's also rumoured that Emily will take over from the pair to present the show alongside Joel. Does this mean Singletown is a test to see how well they work on-screen together?
