Bosses are keen to see the couple appear in their own ITV2 or ITVBe show, which will document their life as they try to get their marriage back on track following their split last November.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Everyone was delighted to get Amir in I'm A Celeb as it was a hard sell to him and a bit touch and go whether he'd do it. As expected, he was really good value as he chickened out of challenges and dropped verbal clangers around the campfire.

"ITV bosses think he'd make more great telly if he did a fly-on-the-wall series with them. He's a character and they think viewers would be very interested in seeing how he is with Faryal and their daughter behind closed doors. It's very early days in terms, but there seems to be interest on both sides."

Meanwhile, Amir previously blamed his marital problems on a "lack of communication".

Amir - who had accused his wife of having an affair with fellow boxer Anthony Joshua - said: "You want to change things at times, the way it went public wasn't nice ... anger sometimes takes over. That happened in 2017.

"Hopefully going into 2018 we've both put that behind us, we've got a lovely baby coming this year, we have also have Lamaisah our daughter, my boxing career, [I will] get some good fights in. What went wrong? A lack of communication."

Whilst Faryal added: "It was just a misunderstanding. I was in England he was in Dubai, he thought he was a bit cool in Dubai doing some tweets."
