Blue's Duncan James to overcome massive snake phobia as he's 'signed on' for I'm a Celeb 


With Love Island coming to an end tonight, UK viewers will have to turn to I’m A Celebrity to get their reality TV fix. 

Adding to the hype, Blue singer Duncan James is reportedly in talks to join the star-studded cast this year, with filming to begin in the autumn. 

According to The Sun, the 41-year-old is willing to overcome his phobia of snakes and venture into the Australian jungle for the show. 

Their source claimed: “Duncan has been approached in the past for I’m A Celebrity but the timing wasn’t right — until now.

“With his good looks and personality, he is the perfect fit for the ­jungle. ­

“Producers also think he could be telly gold because he will have to face his phobias head-on.”

The boyband star ruled out partaking in the series in the past, having owned up to a massive fear of slimy serpents.

He said: “I have a massive phobia of snakes. If I saw one I’d pass out or I’d literally pee myself.

“I would never, ever be able to put my head in one of those tanks with creatures crawling about. I’d have a heart attack.”

But it seems that he may be willing to face his fears and brave out the Aussie wilderness this time around. 

The publication’s source continued: “The best campmates are the ones who have to overcome their fears — and Duncan has told them he is game for anything.”

Just a week ago, the hunky Hollyoaks star melted hearts when he confirmed his relationship with boyfriend Rodrigo Reis. 

Sharing a loved-up photo over Instagram, he thanked the Brazilian beefcake for “making me smile”. 

Fingers crossed, if he does venture into the Australian tropics, he doesn’t feel too lovesick to stick it out.
