Ant and Dec want Tim Peake to take part in 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'.
Tim Peake is wanted for I'm A Celebrity
The presenting duo reportedly make suggestions every year before the reality show is cast and the pair think bringing the astronaut into the jungle would make for some "fascinating" discussions in camp.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper's Bizarre TV column: “Both Ant and Dec think Tim would be a fascinating signing for the show and bring another layer to the campfire chats.
“It would be a first for the series to have an astronaut and add some real gravitas.”
In previous years, Ant and Dec are said to have suggested 'A-Team' legend Mr. T and football hardman-turned-pundit Roy Keane for the show.
The source added: “Although Ant and Dec are show hosts they know the series inside out so producers are always really interested to have their input and collaborate with them on casting ideas to create the perfect chemistry.”
It was recently claimed 'First Dates' star Fred Sirieix is in talks for the show.
A source told The Sun newspaper's TV Biz column: "Show bosses hope he’ll be a hit with the ladies watching, which is part of the reason they’ve targeted him.
“Everyone’s really excited that they’re close to signing him up.”
However, less than a year ago, the 51-year-old star insisted he wouldn't want to take part in Bushtucker Trials.
He previously told HELLO! magazine: "I don’t think I’d do 'I’m a Celebrity'. I wouldn’t be too keen on eating a camel’s anus or something like that.
"I know I eat frogs, I’m French, but at least those frogs are cooked! They are deliciously prepared, whereas a camel's anus is put in a blender and you have to eat it raw. It's awful. I know people who have been there - it's really not 'gastronomie'."
