Roy Keane for I’m A Celeb 2021

The odds of Roy Keane going on I’m A Celeb 2021 have been slashed to just 1/4 this week - and it certainly seems like he’s a popular choice of campmate. One fan claimed he’d be a ‘guaranteed ratings topper’ while several others said they’d start watching the show just for him.

Meanwhile, a Paddy Power spokesperson said:

Roy’s scathing analysis of United performances are always trend-worthy... So it’s no surprise that fans and ITV bosses alike might be excited by the prospect of seeing pull a ‘hairdryer’ on some unsuspecting celebs and who wouldn’t relish the thought of him swapping slide tackles for swallowing pig’s tackle!

What’s more, I’m A Celeb presenters Ant and Dec named Roy as their dream campmate earlier this year - saying he’d ‘ruffle a few feathers’ with his ‘no-nonsense’ attitude. Roy has previously turned down producers’ offers to appear on the show but has admitted he might be open to it - could this be his year? We certainly hope so!

I’m A Celeb 2021 line-up

No campmates have yet been confirmed for the I’m A Celeb 2021 line-up but several have been strongly rumoured - including soap stars Adam Woodyatt and Simon Gregson, Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall, producer/DJ Naughty Boy, The Saturdays’ Frankie Bridge and Olympic diver Matty Lee.
