Others thought it could be Bros stars Matt or Luke Goss.

The full line-up for the 2019 series is yet to be revealed - however, Katie Price is believed to be desperate to join the show as she faces financial issues.

“Katie’s well aware she has cash flow problems so has been calling ITV bosses in the hope of getting signed to a new show,” insiders told The Sun Online.

“Last year, she auditioned for Dancing On Ice and it got down to final talks but they couldn’t come up with the fee she wanted to take part."
