Frankie Dettori wooed for I'm A Celeb

Champion jockey in secret talks with jungle producers

Frankie Dettori has eaten fox in Hong Kong

Frankie Dettori is being lined up to take part in the next series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!

Show bosses are said to have their eye on the jockey after he revealed details of his bizarre eating habits.

‘I’ve been all over the world and eaten many things,’ he says. ‘I’ve tried snake, crocodile and camel. The weirdest thing has to be eating fox in Hong Kong.’

Frankie, 37, is co-owner of a string of Italian restaurants called Frankie's – and even has his own supermarket pizza and ice cream range Dettori's.

He's expected to be joined in the jungle by Esther Rantzen, 67, and athlete Dwain Chambers, 29, when I’m A Celeb… returns to ITV in November.
