Coronation Street fans believe they may have rumbled another soap name heading into the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
Viewers who follow James Burrows on Instagram are convinced the actor could join castmate Sair Khan in the line up for the upcoming ITV series.
A pic uploaded by James, 27, earlier today was bombarded with comments about his possible participation when it became clear the soap star is currently already Down Under.
“I’m a celeb line up?!” one fan asked on the snap of the cloudless and sunny skyline of Perth.

Another enquired: “You going on i’m a celeb?!?”
And a third commenter, adding two knowing smiley faces and three thumbs up emoticon to their message, teased: “Welcome to Australia enjoy your stay with whatever your doing down here.”
However, it seems unlikely the Dr Ali fave will be joining Harry Redknapp and The Governess from The Chase round the campfire to chew on kangaroos’ genitals any time soon.
Instead, it may be he has gone walkabout for a bit before a big change in his family life and new soap storylines make greater demands on his time.

It is believed James – who recently announced he and girlfriend Sophie Coates are expecting their first child – is taking a short break from filming Corrie ahead of increasingly emotional scenes for his tormented doc character.
He told The Sun in October: “I’ve got a little bit of time off from work. I’ve got about a month and a half off.
“I’m going to chill out a bit and have some time with my family.
“Few holidays. Chilling out, bit of surfing. But we’re back in December and I don’t know what they’ve got in store for me.”
Surfing? Case closed. Those Bush tucker trials will just have to wait another year. Probably.
The 18th series of I’m A Celebrity, hosted by Dec Donnelly and Holly Willoughby, begins next Sunday at 9pm.
EastEnders actress Rita Simons, X Factor star Fleur East and The Inbetweeners’ Emily Atack are among the other famous faces believed to be lining up for the show.
Also thought to be taking part as campmates are The Vamps singer James McVey, DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles and Hollyoaks’ Malique Thompson-Dwyer.
