Following the news that Scarlett and Joe Swash have quit the ITV2 show, it has now been reported that the former 'Inbetweeners' actress is being eyed for the role alongside Joel Dommett, who is staying put on the show, after winning over the nation with her "bubbly personality" during her stint in the jungle last year.

The team behind the show is also said to be on the lookout for another male presenter to join the pair.

An insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "Emily charmed 'I'm A Celeb...' viewers with her bubbly personality and self-deprecating jokes. She's a true professional and can more than handle herself live on camera. She has great energy and doesn't take herself too seriously.

"She's been open this year about being comfortable in her own skin and producers think she represents real women. She is already mates with Joel.

"Bosses are also planning to book another male presenter to replace Joe as they think a trio of presenters work well on set, with Joel carrying the show."

Joe announced his departure from 'Extra Camp' after a decade to spend more time with his family after he and Stacey Solomon welcomed their first child together, Rex, in May.

The father-of-two - who also has 12-year-old son Harry with his ex-fiancee Emma Sophocleous - wrote on Instagram: "I can't believe I'm about to say this ... For 10 incredible years I've been lucky enough to host my favourite show on telly. I don't want to miss a second with Stacey and our amazing boys so 3 months in Australia just seems too [much] to bare this year."

And 'Gogglebox' star Scarlett - who joined the spin-off show in 2017, after being crowned Queen of the Jungle the year before - revealed she is working on a mystery project with her family.

She said in her own post: "After chatting to one of my besties @realjoeswashy and seeing his insta post I thought I would do mine to. For 3 years I have enjoyed a jungle life, being crowned queen of the jungle and having the greatest time presenting extra camp with Swashy and Joel who I now class as best friends. The jungle absolutely changed my life and I am massively grateful to everybody who voted for me whilst in the jungle and for your constant support to date and everybody who tuned in to extra camp Massive thank you to all the team including Richard, Angela, Toni, pecks and of course @antanddec and @hollywilloughby @joeldommett and @realjoeswashy but I have got a project that I've been working on (alongside my family) that I am very very excited to announce soon. And because of this unfortunately I will not be presenting this years extra camp but I will certainly be tuning in LONG LIVE THE JUNGLE #jungle #love #extracamp #imaceleb (sic)"
