TV and boxing fans have been reacting to news Amir Khan is heading for the I’m a Celeb jungle.

According to national newspaper reports, the 30-year-old Bolton boxer has jetted to Australia after agreeing to appear on this year’s I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

The jungle-based reality show returns on Sunday, November 19, as a fresh batch of contestants brave the stomach-churning camp challenges.

Other stars who have been tipped for a slot on the show include former Bolton Wanderers and England manager Sam Allardyce, Coronation Street actress Jennie McAlpine, Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas, Made In Chelsea’s Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo, The Saturdays singer Vanessa White, Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby, Celebrity Big Brother winner, Ex On The Beach star and Crosby's on-off boyfriend, Stephen Bear, Towie star Gemma Collins and Rebekah Vardy, wife of footballer Jamie Vardy.

The news comes amid rumours Khan is back with his pregnant wife Faryal, months after a bitter falling out.

The pair separated in August after a very public spat on Twitter.

In September, Faryal, who is currently pregnant with the couple's second child, made a plea to the boxer for them to get back together for the sake of their family.

No celebrities have yet been officially confirmed for the show but fans have been having their say on social media.

Michael Benson wrote: "I’m A Celeb’s usual viewers are going to be absolutely fuming when they find out it’s now on ITV Box Office because of Amir Khan".

The Boxing Mad Man tweeted: "So Amir Khan is going to do "I'm a celeb"? Right, ok." and Tom Smith said: "Amir Khan is apparently going on I'm a celeb hahaha".
