But his insults gained almost as much attention as his ball skills when a clip of him swearing at Germany’s Sydney Lohmann went viral.

A TV insider said: “Jill became an instant star after that memorable moment, with most Brits forgiving the minor outburst.”

“It was always rumored that ITV wanted a team in the jungle and Jill is a natural choice.”

Jill presented an award at the NTAs this week and joked that she was skinny and had been forced to sell her winner’s medal.

I’m a Celeb returns to the Australian jungle next month.

Other stars include ex-rugby player Mike Tindall, DJ Chris Moyles and comedian Seann Walsh.
