British Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington has signed up for the new series of 'I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here'.
The gold medallist - who retired from swimming in February - is rumoured to have bagged herself £80,000 to appear on the thirteenth series of the show, which returns to ITV1 on 17 November.
Rebecca Adlington A source told The Sun: “Becky is only young and keen to muck in and get herself out there.
“When you retire from professional sport you are constantly looking for new challenges.
“Competitive people don’t just switch off once their playing days are over.”
Becky's decision to head to the jungle comes after she previously admitted she'd never do a show like 'I'm A Celeb'.
“I’m absolutely awful with creepy-crawlies and I couldn’t eat that stuff they do in the jungle,” she said.
Other stars also rumoured to be heading to the jungle include 'TOWIE' star Joey Essex, snooker legend Steve Davis, Westlife singer Kian Egan, former 'EastEnder' Laila Morse, 'Emmerdale' star Lucy Pargeter and former 'Strictly pro' dancer Vincent Simone.
'I'm A Celebrity' - Biggest Wimps
<strong>1. Helen Flanagan</strong> Queen of the jungle wimps has to go to Helen Flanagan who refused to even start some trials, no matter how hard Ant and Dec tried to convince her otherwise. Nice try, chaps.

<strong>2. Natalie Appleton</strong> Former All Saints star Natalie Appleton who was scared of EVERYTHING (even um, trees). Fast forward to the 4min 57sec point of the video to see her in all her (hilarious) glory.

<strong>3. Gillian McKeith</strong> Even all of that healthy eating couldn't stop Gillian McKeith from the most over the top fainting episode ever seen on live telly after she was chosen yet again to take part in the Bushtucker Trial in 2010.

<strong>4. Sinitta</strong> Sinitta had to play a game of (solo) pass the parcel during a live trial on the eleventh series. Well, we say solo, there were a few surprises underneath each layer. Cue Sinitta jumping around the camp like a crazy kangaroo.

<strong>5. Dean Gaffney</strong> Former 'EastEnder' Dean Gaffney hyperventialted his way through one particularly slimy Bushtucker Trial in 2006. Comedy gold.

<strong>6. Jan Leeming</strong> After being voted to do yet another Bushtucker Trial in 2006, former newsreader Jan Leeming asked; 'WHY do they keep voting for me? It's like poking a bear in a cage. Is it going to make good TV watching Jan Leeming break down and cry?'. Errrrm, that'll be a 'yes', Jan (fast forward to the 6min 40 second point on the video).

<strong>7. Paul Burrell</strong> More TV gold was created when Princess Diana's former butler Paul Burrell took part in the Hell Hole challenge in 2004. Unfortunately all traces of the video of him shreaking and squealing like a teenage girl appear to have mysteriously disappeared, but we still think this pic does the job nicely.
