Kym Marsh teases I'm A Celebrity stint ahead of leaving Coronation Street

Kym Marsh recently announced she'd be leaving Coronation Street after 13 years playing Michelle Connor.

The soap star, 43, has now dropped hints about her next move — and it seems she's eyeing up a place in the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! line-up .

While she confessed she'd be "terrible" at all the gruelling challenges, Kym revealed she'd never rule out doing a stint in the jungle.

Writing in her OK! magazine column, Kym said: "I'd be terrible! I wouldn't like the bugs or the sleep deprivation and I’d never jump out of a helicopter. My camp mates would probably starve because I’d fail to win any stars!

"Never say never, but I don't want to do any reality shows so soon after leaving the Street later this year."

Kym also touched on speculation that her Corrie co-star Alan Halsall, aka Tyrone Dobbs, would be going in .

She added: "Alan Halsall, my Corrie co-star, has sparked speculation that he's signed up for I'm A Celebrity – Get Me Out Of Here! after posting this snap on Instagram with the comment: 'It's a jungle out there,’ and a winky face.

"I don't know if he's going on or not, but he'd be brilliant because he’s got a great sense of humour and he's a team player."

Alan had taken a picture of himself posing on some rocks while wearing a waterproof jacket, shorts and hiking boots.

Alongside the winking and caterpillar emojis, he said: "........it’s a jungle out there."

In a Q&A with fans last year, Alan was asked: "Who are you hoping goes into the jungle?" one asked him.

He replied: "Me, I would smash it."

Also rumoured to be going in is Olivia Attwood , who says she's in talks with the show's bosses.
