Former Love Island star Chloe Burrows is in advanced talks to join the line-up for this year's series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, according to television sources.
The 30-year-old reality television personality has reportedly met up with show executives on multiple occasions and impressed producers during discussions to head to Australia for the ITV series.
Producers are reportedly keen to secure Burrows following the recent ratings success of social media influencers on the reality competition. Content creator Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, won last year's series, while social media star GK Barry, real name Grace Keeling, finished in fifth place during her 2024 stint on the show.
A source told The Sun: "Chloe is in advanced talks and they love her. She was hugely popular in Love Island. She made it clear she’d love a chance to go to Australia to be on the show."
The insider added: "She has a very big following on social media too, very much like Angry Ginge and GK Barry, and ITV bosses think she could bring in a younger audience."
A second insider noted that the network is actively adapting its casting strategy, stating: "ITV moves with the times. They’ve seen the surge of popularity with influencers."

Burrows career background and potential campmates
When contacted by the Daily Mail regarding the negotiations, representatives for both ITV and Burrows were approached for comment. An ITV spokesperson stated: "Any names suggested for I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! are just speculation."
Burrows first came to public attention in 2021 when she reached the final of the ITV2 dating reality show Love Island alongside her then partner Toby Aromolaran. Since her debut on reality television, she has built a broader broadcasting career across radio and television networks.
She has appeared as a contestant on television series including Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, Scared of the Dark, and Celebs Go Dating. In addition to her television work, Burrows hosts her own podcast and co-hosts the Kiss Breakfast radio show alongside broadcaster Tyler West.

Several other prominent figures have also been rumoured to be joining the upcoming jungle camp in Australia. Speculation has linked Gavin & Stacey star Joanna Page, television presenter Ade Adepitan, and Olympic ice-skating legend Christopher Dean to the new series.
Launch date delayed for Nations League football
The potential arrival of new campmates comes as ITV bosses reportedly restructure the broadcast schedule for the upcoming series. The launch date for I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here has reportedly been moved back to prevent a direct scheduling clash with live international football coverage.
The flagship reality show typically returns to television screens on a Sunday in mid-November. However, sources report that the 2026 series launch has been shifted to Monday, November 16, 2026, after ITV landed broadcasting rights for the UEFA Nations League.

The international football tournament begins on September 24. Under the fixture schedule, England will take on World Cup winners Spain in Madrid on Sunday, November 15, with kick-off scheduled for 8.45pm. The match timing creates a direct conflict with the traditional 9.00pm broadcast slot for the reality series.
A source told The Sun: "Now ITV has the rights to the UEFA Nations League bosses have had to go back to the drawing board."
A second insider explained that network executives were working to maximize viewer numbers across both sporting and entertainment broadcasts. The insider added: "Bosses have pulled out all the stops to ensure this year's IAC launch show is must-see TV."
The source continued: "Following the huge success of this year's World Cup, bosses are overjoyed to have such a stellar lineup of entertainment and sport this autumn on ITV."
