I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! bosses have reportedly signed up Princess Diana's butler, Paul Burrell, for the All Stars series.
Paul originally took part in the survival reality series in 2004 but didn't exactly have the best time.
He was Diana's butler for 10 years between 1987 and 1997 and their relationship ended with her death in the notorious Paris car crash, which killed her and Dodi Al-Fayed.
In one of the most entertaining Bushtucker Trials of all time, Paul screamed his way through the Hell Holes challenge.
He even began whimpering when he placed his arms inside the holes filled with creepy crawlies but somehow managed to win all four stars.
Despite his embarrassing attempt at the trial, Paul actually ended up finishing runner-up that year behind squeaky comedian Joe Pasquale.
And now, according to TV insiders, ITV bosses want the entertaining former butler on the All Star series in South Africa.
"His bizarre facial expressions during the Bushtucker Challenge have gone down in the jungle’s history books," they said.
“Only Dean Gaffney could compete with those kinds of hysterics — and that really is saying something."
The insider added to The Sun : "So if ITV does strike a deal with Paul then he’s almost guaranteed to be doing the challenge again. Unless, of course, he bans it by inserting a unique clause in his contract."
Mirror have contacted representatives for comment.
It was first reported in April that the new I'm A Celebrity series will be filmed in South Africa, with the results kept quiet until its broadcast.

Ant and Dec are back to hosting for the slightly shorter two-week run, set to be pre-recorded in July.
The short series will either be airing in November if plans for filming the live series in Australia fall through due to Covid restrictions, or kept on ice to be broadcast early next year.
An insider explained: “This is a brilliant reserve plan in case Covid restrictions come round again in the Autumn and the cast and crew can’t get Down Under, as has happened for the past two years.
“There is no appetite to go back to Wales. It was great while it lasted but it’s just too dark and damp. Everyone’s had enough, including the viewers."
