A former Premier League manager is being 'lined up' for this year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, according to a report.

ITV's I'm a Celeb, which is in its 24th series of the show, is set to take place in Australia later this year.

And, like previous years, this year's line-up could feature a well-known sporting figure.

The likes of Amir Khan, David Haye, Tony Bellew, Chris Eubank Sr., Kieron Dyer, Frankie Dettori, Phil Tufnell and Jill Scott have all appeared on the show as celebrity contestants.

According to TWTD, Mick McCarthy is being 'lined up' for I'm a Celeb 2024.

McCarthy has been out of work since April 2023 when he left his role at Blackpool by mutual consent.

The 63-year-old managed Wolves in the Premier League after guiding them to promotion from the Championship.

He began his managerial career at Millwall, having finished his playing days at the London club.

McCarthy then managed Ireland, where he took the nation to the 2002 World Cup.

He had a bust-up with Roy Keane before the tournament as Ireland famously grabbed a 1-1 draw with Germany, securing a spot in the next round, where they lost to Spain in the last-16.

After resigning from his post, he took charge of Sunderland before managing Wolves.

After his stint at Molineux, McCarthy managed Ipswich Town before having a second spell with Ireland.

He was then appointed at APOEL, Cardiff City and Blackpool.

A stint in the jungle appears to be next for the veteran gaffer.
