The wife of an ex-boyband star has remained tight-lipped about speculation he’s set to appear on the next season of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

The long-running reality series will return to screens in just over a week.

While ITV has yet to confirm the official line-up, the likes of Nigel Farage and Jamie Lynn Spears are rumoured to be getting ready to pack their bags and head Down Under.

There are plenty of other names in the mix too, some of whom were discussed during a segment about the show on This Morning on Thursday.

However, things were made a little bit awkward when host Rochelle Humes was grilled about rumours her husband Marvin Humes had signed up to take on Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly’s Bushtucker Trials.

Marvin, 38, is best known as being a member of JLS, who were the runners-up on the fifth season of The X Factor in 2008.

He then went on to host The Voice between 2014 and 2016.

Last week it was reported that Marvin was set to be one of the new campmates and now his wife has commented on the rumours.

When being asked by former Queen of the Jungle Vicky Pattinson, who was presenting the segment, about whether her husband was going to star, Rochelle remained tight-lipped.

After a photo of him popped up on a screen, Rochelle exclaimed: ‘Oh I know that guy quite well!’

When asked if she had the inside scoop, she explained that her husband was on tour at the moment, suggesting his schedule was already jam-packed.

‘Looks like I’ll be doing the school run then,’ she added when speaking about the possibility of him travelling to the other side of the world.

‘But he does have a business schedule at home,’ she added.

Conversation then quickly turned to other names in the mix and Rochelle was let off the hook about having to discuss the subject any further.

When reports emerged Marvin could be part of the line-up, a source told The Sun that he would be a ‘brilliant signing’.

‘Not only is he known to fans of The X Factor and fans of JLS, but the audience for The Hit List and This Morning spans from kids right through older viewers,’ they said.

‘And with Rochelle’s backing, he’s got a readymade fan base. He’ll have lots of showbiz stories to tell, too, from his 15 years in the limelight.’

They also added that ‘the fact he’s remained a bit of a pin-up doesn’t hurt and bosses hope he’ll make use of the jungle shower’.

I’m A Celebrity returns to ITV on Sunday, November 19 at 9pm.

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1.
