I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here could be the longest running reality TV show if it secures an extended contract with ITV.
The series that first aired in 2002 - which crowned radio DJ Tony Blackburn as the first ever King of the jungle - is speculated be returning to the channel for three more series alongside TV hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly .
This will allow the hit series to celebrate its milestone 20th anniversary in 2022, according to the Daily Star - giving it the title of longest-standing reality TV show.
A representative from ITV did not confirm that the fan favourite will be renewed.
Geordie duo Ant and Dec recently revealed they want to do a sitcom in future as they prepare for their telly careers to take off again.
Ahead of the return of Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway this weekend, the pals have unveiled their future TV dreams.
The ITV favourites told the Sun how they have held “extensive talks” about the potential project and hope it will become a reality in the future.
Ant told the publication: “We’ve talked about it quite seriously in the past. We’ve got quite close.
“We did a version of The Likely Lads, which we loved.
“And we loved the process of it — rehearsing it and doing it in front of a live studio audience.”
Dec added: “You’ve got to get the idea right and make sure it’s the right thing at the right time.
He said the other problem they faced was finding the time to do it when they've already got three big shows on the go throughout the year.
*Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’s returns February 22.
