Former Manchester United footballer Roy Keane has confirmed he’s been approached to appear on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

The retired player, who is currently assistant manager of Aston Villa, told ShortList magazine he has turned down several offers to appear on reality shows but could be tempted.

Quizzed about going into acting, he said: "Well, I couldn't see it, but I am more open to stuff now. I've had the Celebrity Big Brother offers and the jungle stuff.

"I met the jungle people, but I thought, 'Nah, not for me.’ But the more you say no, the more determined they are to get you, so who knows? There's more to life than football."

Hollyoaks babe Gemma Merna and The Wanted singer Max George are among the hot favourites to star in the new series of I’m a Celebrity, which kicks off on ITV next month.

He'd be brilliant in there, I could never see him do it it though

Assistant manager of Villa at the minute so I don't think he'd be able to do it even if he wanted to.
