A source said: “Duncan has been approached in the past for I’m A Celebrity but the timing wasn’t right — until now. With his good looks and personality, he is the perfect fit for the jungle.
“Producers also think he could be telly gold because he will have to face his phobias head-on. The best campmates are the ones who have to overcome their fears — and Duncan has told them he is game for anything.
“Some of his mates think he is totally crazy to go in there, but he has told them the pay packet will make it worthwhile.”
Ent Daily has contacted I’m A Celebrity for comment.
The Hollyoaks star has previously revealed he has a phobia of snakes.
In 2017, Duncan was asked whether he would consider appearing on I’m A Celebrity.
He told What’s On TV: “I have a MASSIVE phobia of snakes. I think if I saw one, or one fell out of a tree or something, I’d pass out or I’d literally pee myself.
“I know for sure I would never, ever be able to put my head on one of those tanks with creatures crawling about. I’d have a heart attack.
“I think Masterchef would probably be more my thing!”
