Former Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington has reportedly joined the lineup for the new ITV reality series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!.

The 24-year-old, who retired from the sport earlier this year, is said to have agreed to go into the Australian jungle.

Adlington, who has two Olympic gold medals to her name, is said to have agreed an £80,000 deal to appear on the show, according to The Sun.

Following the reports, bookmakers William Hill have offered odds of 14/1 that the sportswoman will be crowned Queen of the Jungle.

Former footballers Michael Owen and Paul Gascoigne have also been named as possible contestants on the series.
