Phil Tufnell 'returning to I'm A Celeb' as he's spotted at airport with All Stars cast

Phil Tufnell has reportedly signed up for the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here All Stars.

The I'm A Celebrity legend appeared on and won the iconic ITV show back in 2003, and 19 years on being crowned King of the jungle, Phil has sparked rumours that he's set to make an epic comeback to the jungle.

The former cricket player, 56, was spotted at the airport alongside a number of other stars who are also tipped to be part of the I'm A Celeb special.

In pictures obtained by The Sun, Phil was seen with Andy Whyment, Shaun Ryder, Joe Swash and Georgia Toffolo as they reportedly jetted off to South Africa for filming.

Series hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnely were spotted in the airport arriving home from filming I'm A Celebrity All Stars on Tuesday, however, no other rumoured cast members have landed yet.

Following ongoing speculation, I'm A Celeb fans are now hoping that Phil will be back in the jungle for a second time.

The All Stars series of I'm A Celeb is set to run in addition to the usual annual ITV programme.

It has already started filming in South Africa but the show won't air until 2023.

It comes amid speculation that former King of the jungle, Joe Swash is set to appear on the stand-alone ITV series.

The Sun claim he will join Myleene Klass, Jordan Banjo and Paul Burrell in the pre-recorded series which will air next year.

It's been reported that Joe is making his way home from Kruger National Park, where he's aiming to be the first double winner of the show.

"Joe was always on the producers’ hit list as he was such an iconic winner," a source told the publication. "But they had to iron out the timings and came to a conclusion that worked.

“He has flown out there and can’t wait to give a good account of himself for a second time on the show.”

Joe won his series back in 2008.
