JUNGLE DUO

Emily Atack and John Barrowman tipped for their own show after impressing TV bosses with jungle chemistry


THERE might not have been any conflict in I’m A Celebrity this year but there’s certainly been a lot of entertainment, much of it from stand-out duo John Barrowman and Emily Atack.

And now it appears as if their jungle friendship is going to develop into something much more lucrative.

There’s certainly been a lot of entertainment from stand-out duo John Barrowman and Emily Atack – and it looks like TV bosses could reward them with their own show

I’ve learned the pair have impressed telly bosses with their chemistry in the jungle and are being tapped up for a programme of their own to provide even more laughs.

But it’s not the only offer that has rolled in for Emily, with her team being inundated with requests from theatre producers too.

The Inbetweeners actress played the lead Holly Golightly in a touring production of Breakfast At Tiffany’s in 2016 and proved her talents when singing with John on Summer Nights from Grease earlier this week.

Industry figures have since been contacting her team, as well as John’s, to discuss the prospect of starring in musicals on the West End.

Veteran theatre director and choreographer Arlene Phillips told me: “I always knew John Barrowman could sing but I didn’t know Emily had such a great voice.

“What a pair they make. My mind is racing to find a musical they could star in together.

“Well, I am about to choreograph an exciting new production of Grease.”

Bosses would be mad not to sign them up straight away.
