Former Newcastle United and England midfielder Kieron Dyer is reportedly set to appear on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! following his arrival in Australia.

The 26-year-old refused to publicly confirm his inclusion on the show, despite being met by a chaperone said to be from I'm A Celeb at Brisbane airport.

Dyer, who played for six different clubs during his career, is quoted by The Mirror as saying in jest: "I'm just here to play football for Brisbane!"

Jimmy Bullard, who blazed the I'm A Celeb trail for footballers by appearing in last year's edition, ate a variety of unpalatable foods including grubs, pig's eyes and animal testicles.
