AJ Pritchard in talks for 'I'm A Celebrity'?

Former Strictly Come Dancing pro AJ Pritchard is reportedly in talks to join the cast of this year's I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!

Former Strictly Come Dancing pro AJ Pritchard is reportedly in talks to appear in this year's series of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!

The 25-year-old quit the BBC dance contest after four years last month, outlining his plans to pursue a TV presenting career with his brother Curtis Pritchard.

According to The Sun, AJ is in "big-money" talks about a part in this year's I'm A Celeb, which is due to begin in November in Australia.

"AJ has a huge fanbase from Strictly and he's really grateful for the opportunity it afforded him but he is keen to show people that there is a lot more to him," a source close to AJ told the newspaper.

"He is desperate to show his personality and that he is strong in other ways, he'd love to throw himself into Bushtucker Trials.

"Bosses think he would be a great addition to the cast and it always helps to secure a heartthrob as it draws in much-needed younger viewers."

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage is also thought to be in talks for this year's series.
