Adam Ant has been poached from 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' to appear in 'Celebrity Big Brother' instead.
The 51-year-old 'Prince Charming' singer, who has battled manic depression, was offered huge sums of money by both ITV and Channel 4 to appear in their reality shows.
'I'm A Celebrity...' bosses were confident they had won Adam over but before they could get him to sign on the dotted line he told them he would not be flying to the jungle next month as he has agreed to enter the Big Brother house in January next year.
A source said: "It's a mighty blow for 'I'm A Celebrity...' because they really wanted him. Everyone joked that they would have ended up with two Ants in the jungle and one Dec."
The jungle show is presented by Geordie duo Ant and Dec.
So far, former Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, who also worked with Adam and the Ants, and Busted star Matt Willis.
Other celebrities rumoured to be taking part in this year's jungle adventure include pop singer Louise Redknapp, glamour model Michelle Marsh and former 'Hollyoaks' actress Gemma Atkinson.
