Abbey Clancy To Be Joined By Orville The Duck On I'm A CelebrityIT'S the rumble in the jungle that everyone has been waiting for - the glamorous WAG against the cute fluffy duckling.
Abbey Clancy, girlfriend of England footballer Peter Crouch - is lined up for this year's I'm A Celebrity.
She is set to be joined by 80s children's TV favourite Orville the duck and puppeteer Keith Harris.
And if the green puppet is half as annoying as he used to be, Abbey might borrow his song I Wish I Could Fly...out of this jungle, that is.
Show bosses see Abbey as a successor to TV host Myleene Klass, who thrilled male viewers in the 2006 series by showering in a sexy white bikini.
Last year's resident babe - former Hollyoaks star Gemma Atkinson - was a flop with fans because she hardly said a word.
But TV bosses believe Abbey - runner-up on Britain's Next Top Model and presenter of The Fashion Show on ITV2 - will send temperatures soaring. A source said: "Things are guaranteed to get steamy if Abbey ends up in the jungle as there will be lots of opportunity for her to show off her curves.
"As always there are a diverse bunch of celebrities lined up.
"It'll be a mix of strong personalities who are bound to get on each others' nerves."
The Sunday Mail can reveal other names in the frame include jockey Frankie Dettori, chat show queen Esther Rantzen and Emmerdale star Deena Payne, better known as Viv Hope.
The celebs will again eat live creepy crawlies and kangaroo testicles in the famous bush tucker trials.
They also risk being bitten by giant bird-eating spiders at the campsite on Australia's Gold Coast.
Bosses at ITV are keeping this year's stars secret until the show - hosted by Ant and Dec - kicks off on November 17.
