Former Countdown presenter Carol, 61, is said to top of the list of stars producers want to bring back after she entertained viewers with her flirty banter and jungle showers during the 2016 series of the hit show.

The presenter came eighth, lasting 18 days in the Australian jungle alongside winner Scarlett Moffatt.

A source told The Sun: "Carol was always top of producers wish list: in some ways she was the perfect campmate.

"She was funny, outspoken and intelligent and let's just say she gave the younger girls a run for their money in the jungle shower."

The insider added: "Her flirtations with Joel were one of the big talking points of the series so signing up Carol for All-Stars looks like a no brainer."

Other celebrities lined up for the All-Stars series include radio presenter Myleene Klass, Gillian McKeith – who famously fainted on the show in 2010 – and Happy Mondays star Shaun Ryder.

It was announced in April that the spin-off show would be made alongside the traditional series – which is set to return to the Australian jungle this year after two years in Wales.

Bosses have signed up regular hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, both 46, to front the show.

It is likely to air next summer, and favourite contestants from the past will compete, taking part in trials while living in camp.
