We don't know the full story with Tyson Fury but what we've been told is that negative public deception about him has caused him to suffer from depression. So what sounds like the best way to help that? What about sticking him in a jungle with other celebrities and televising it- give me strength!
Fury has recently failed two drugs tests for cocaine and backed out of his world title defence with Wladimir Klitschko because of a medical condition. The Mancunian fighter is still awaiting news on whether he'll be stripped of his titles.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone the boxer admitted to being diagnosed with bipolar and manic depression and talked about having suicidal thoughts.

The Daily Star reported that ITV are desperate to get the undefeated fighter on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, which couldn't sound like a worse idea if it tried.
The rumours were being shrugged off by many but Fury retweeted the Star's article, sparking rumours it might be true:
So boxing doctors have the sense to deem him medically unfit to step in the ring with Klitschko but ITV are happy to have him in a stressful environment with millions watching on tv?!

According to the Star's article a source close to the 'Gypsy King' reckons a "a good run on the show would improve his image."
Producers on the show are apparently willing to offer the 6"9 fighter a lot of cash to appear on the show that would make up, at least in part, for his missed title fight in Manchester later this month.
Personally I hope Fury is given time to recover away from the public limelight!
