‘I’ll do it next year!’ Louis Walsh fuels MORE I’m A Celeb rumours

According to some rumours he's set to make a dramatic return to the X Factor to help the show's falling ratings. Now Louis Walsh has hinted he'll be heading to the jungle instead.

Dropping the biggest hint yet that he will take part in the forthcoming series of I'm A Celebrity, the 63-year-old music manager revealed he does want to appear on the show.

Speaking with the Mirror, Louis hinted that a trip to Australia – where the reality TV series is filmed – in a few weeks might be a possibility: “If I'm not in the jungle this year, I'll do it next year.”

There had been speculation Louis would be making a return to Simon Cowell's flagship show after the 12th season has been suffering from disappointing ratings.

Having left the show last year, after 10 years as a judge, the former Boyzone manager has been heavily linked to I'm A Celebrity. Insiders are supposedly saying that the show's producers are very eager to sign him up.

Mail Online reports an insider saying: 'Louis would be fantastic in the jungle – we’d love to get him involved.

“He doesn’t hold back from saying what he thinks and he’s very, very funny.”

Louis also hinted that he may be making an X Factor comeback.Not too long ago on Loose Women, the veteran judge said:

“Simon said the door was open to me months ago. I talked to him last night. There is a possibility I might end up on the show, but I don't know for definite.

'I'd like to. I'm available. There is a possibility,” he added.
