The 51-year-old TV presenter - who announced earlier this year that she was set to divorce her husband of 11 years, Brian Monet - has already held discussions with ITV bosses about appearing on the popular show.

An insider said: "Ulrika has been through a lot in the past few years. And now that she is getting divorced she feels the time is right for a new challenge.

"The Australian jungle certainly fits that description. And she knows that if she signs, it will be the first of many new TV contracts coming her way.

"Ulrika is keen to throw herself back into her presenting work full time and she feels that this could be the right first step for her."

'I'm a Celebrity' bosses are desperate to get Ulrika on the show, with an insider saying her can-do attitude will make her an ideal contestant.

The source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "ITV bosses think she could be a great fit for the jungle, as she won't hold back when it comes to getting stuck into the challenges.

"After she spoke so candidly about the break-down of her decade long marriage recently, they also think viewers will find her very relatable."
