Phil Taylor, the darts ace, is eager for a spot on the popular reality show
A top sports star has expressed his interest in joining the cast of I'm A Celebrity for its upcoming series. Phil Taylor, the legendary darts player, has revealed that he would "quite enjoy" the challenges that the show has to offer, including facing critters and other daunting trials. The 64-year-old athlete, who is widely regarded as the best player in the sport's history, is not afraid of the disgusting experiences that contestants face in the Australian jungle.
"I don't find any challenges I couldn't do," says Phil Taylor
When asked about his willingness to participate in the show, Taylor responded, "Yeah, I'd be open to it. We've got to talk, obviously. But Bob [his manager] will sort all that out. I mean, I don't find any challenges in there that I couldn't do." The darts legend, who has won a record 85 major titles throughout his career, believes that the show's producers wouldn't include anything too harmful. Taylor added, "I know they're not going to put anything in there that's going to hurt you. I know you can get bitten, and something can go up your nose or whatever, but we'll just have to see. It would be a challenge and something I've never done before. So I would quite enjoy it, I think."
Phil Taylor denies being argumentative but admits he can't keep his mouth shut
Despite admitting that he "can't keep my mouth shut," Taylor denied being the type to start arguments in the jungle. He stated, "No, I'd be normal. The only time I get argumentative is when I've had a drink! Hungry? No, no. I've noticed sometimes I go to bed and I'm hungry, but I always wake up and I'm not hungry. So, it wouldn't bother me, I don't think. I'd lose a bit of weight as well."
Rumors about Phil Taylor's participation in I'm A Celebrity started in 2017
Speculation about Taylor's possible appearance on I'm A Celebrity began in 2017 after he retired from professional darts. At the time, he revealed, "I would do the jungle. Strictly I am not sure, though it would do me the world of good as it would get me fit. I have been asked to do the jungle but was always busy."
Fans believe Rochelle Humes could be joining I'm A Celebrity in 2024

In response to a social media post by the show's hosts, Ant and Dec, asking fans who they would like to see on the show next year, many mentioned singer and TV presenter Rochelle Humes. The overwhelming response indicates that she would be a popular addition to the cast.
Overall, it seems that I'm A Celebrity could be in for an exciting 2024 season, with the possibility of Phil Taylor and Rochelle Humes joining the jungle adventure.
