John Leslie to join I'm A Celeb?
 

John Leslie is reportedly in talks to be a contestant on this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

According to the Daily Record, the former Blue Peter and This Morning presenter is planning to relaunch his career, which tumbled in 2008 following a number of rape allegations.

"John has had several meetings with ITV about taking part and it's now at an advanced stage," a source claimed. "He's hoping it will help get him back into telly. He thinks it would make great viewing."

However, a spokesperson for the show refused to confirm if the 45-year-old would be part of the next lineup, saying only that no details of contestants will be released "until transmission".

I hope he does sign up, the poor guy has been through to hell and back for nothing.

I'd love him back on TV because he really was a brilliant presenter.
