It's been less than two months since she triumphed in the jungle but I'm A Celebrity winner Jacqueline Jossa looks set to land a massive TV role.
Former Eastenders actress Jacqueline triumphed over red-hot bookies favourite Andy Whyment to win the latest series of the ITV show in Australia, with many viewers praising her bravery and attitude in the jungle, as rumours about her marriage dominated headlines back home.
Now she is being tipped to land the leading role in an already massively popular TV drama. It was announced at the start of the month that Michelle Keegan would be leaving hit BBC series Our Girl after playing Georgie Lane for four years.
And TV insiders are suggesting I'm A Celebrity's reigning Queen of the Jungle Jacqueline is the woman to replace her in the show. A source told The Sun"A TV source said: “Jacqueline is keen to replace Michelle on Our Girl and has been encouraged to go for it by her former colleague and pal Lacey.
“And bosses at the Beeb want a mainstream signing and feel the Queen Of The Jungle fits the bill perfectly.
“The series hasn’t yet been greenlit, nor any contracts signed, but she’s in a good position to bag it if it all goes ahead.”
Ex-Coronation Street actress Michelle’s fourth and final series as British Army medic Georgie has already been filmed and is set to air later in the year.
Announcing her departure from the role, he said: “I’ve had the most incredible four years on the show and I want to thank the BBC for giving me such an amazing opportunity.”
