I'm A Celebrity producers are signing up a married couple for the new series.

According to a report in the Daily Star, ITV chiefs are planning to put former footballer and radio host Jason Cundy into the jungle with his wife Lizzie, who works as a model.

The pair were previously considered for this year's Celebrity Big Brother, but plans to recruit them for the house were scrapped when Jade Goody and her family signed up.

A spokesman confirmed the rumours to the newspaper, asking: "How on Earth did you hear about this?"

An insider added: "Everyone thinks it's a great idea. A couple like Lizzie and Jason would be perfect. She's strikingly attractive and Jason's a great laugh."

Producers previously recruited Nancy Sorrell and her husband Vic Reeves for the show's fourth series in 2004.

I'm A Celebrity is expected to return for a new series in the autumn.
