CORONATION Street star Craig Charles is set to make a return to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here after his appearance in 2014 was cut tragically short.
The actor had to leave the jungle on day four after his brother Dean died from a heart attack and didn’t come back to complete his stint.
But a source told the Sun Online that show bosses are very keen to get him back in the camp this year and are willing to offer him a big money deal for his return.
The insider said: “The producers are eager to get Craig back in the jungle after he had to sadly leave so early on in the run two years ago because of his brother’s death.
“He was a popular camp mate in the short time he was in and bosses know he would have been a great contestant if he’d stayed on the show.
“They know that he was enjoying getting into camp life but sadly, due to circumstances beyond his control, he was forced to leave and go home to his family.
“They wanted to get him back on the show last year but he was already committed to filming brand new episodes of BBC Two’s sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf, which will air next month.
His first television acting role, it was the show that made him a household name as the Liverpudlian slob Dave Lister.

Can't remember if I liked him or not.
They must be running short of celebs cos they're apparently getting Spencer Matthews back as well.
