Boxer Conor Benn is reportedly in advanced talks to join the 2025 I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! lineup, 23 years after his father, Nigel Benn, appeared on the show. The 29-year-old’s potential jungle stint would follow his highly anticipated November 15 rematch against Chris Eubank Jr. at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Eubank Jr. won their first bout in April via unanimous decision, securing a £10 million prize.

ITV bosses are eager to sign Benn, believing his rising fame and athletic physique would make him a viewer favorite. A source revealed, “The logistics are tight with the fight date, but ITV and Conor are keen to make it work. He’s this year’s potential male pin-up.” The boxer may enter the jungle as a latecomer to accommodate his fight schedule.

Nigel Benn’s 2002 jungle appearance was marred by controversy after a clash with comedian Rhona Cameron. The boxer, now 61, was accused of homophobia during a heated exchange, with Cameron retorting, “Why don’t you f*** off and leave?” Nigel responded, “You’re lucky you’re not a man or I’d knock you sparko.”

Ruby Wax and Christine McGuinness Join Rumored Lineup

Comedian Ruby Wax, 72, is also reportedly in advanced negotiations to join the show. Known for her BBC interviews and 1985 sitcom Girls On Top, Wax is seen as a “TV legend” who could add gravitas to the lineup. A source said, “She’s interviewed global stars, so bonding with campmates will be seamless.”

Meanwhile, model Christine McGuinness, 37, confirmed her participation to the Daily Mail, defying ITV’s secrecy protocols. The mother of three, who has autism and ADHD, admitted joining in a “f*** it” moment post-split from husband Paddy McGuinness. She hinted at entering camp late to avoid the parachute jump due to her fear of heights.

As Benn prepares for his career-defining rematch, fans await confirmation of his jungle journey—a potential full-circle moment for the Benn family.
