The 52-year-old presenter "had a ball" when he took part in the 2018 series of 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' - on which he came third - so he'd jump at the chance to head Down Under again to work on the spin-off show after regular hosts Joe Swash and Scarlett Moffatt recently stepped down.

Asked about the possibility of the job, he told RadioTimes.com: "I'd love to do it - absolutely! I had a ball in the jungle! And I've said that I would go back at the drop of a hat if they did an all-star version.

"I really enjoyed my time in there - yes, if ITV wanted me to host the after show, I'd be more than happy to do it!"

The former 'Doctor Who' actor's campmate Emily Atack has also been linked with one of the spots on the show and John thinks that they, along with returning host Joel Dommett would be the perfect presenting trio.

He said: "With us three, I could be the maturity and they could be the fun. We'd have a nice balance and I think that could work."

John competed on 'Dancing On Ice' in 2006 and would love to have another try at the skating contest, and insisted he won't turn down offers of reality TV if he thinks they are "fun".

He said: "[I'm] always game for these kind of things.

"I'm not one of those actors who says 'oh no, it's deeming to the craft!' F**k that! If I'm asked to do something and I think it's fun, I'll go ahead and do it! I'd go back and give 'Dancing on Ice' a try again if they asked me to. Under whatever capacity."

However, the 'Torchwood' star does have his limits.

He added: ""I just wouldn't do some documentary shows because I couldn't wait for an owl to s*** in a barn! That's somebody else's gig. I love nature, but I wouldn't do that."
