Former footballer Adebayo Akinfenwa is reportedly being courted to appear in this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
During his playing career, the 40-year-old striker earned the nickname 'The Beast' for his stocky frame, with his weight of over 16 stone making him the UK's heaviest professional footballer.
Earlier this year he retired after playing his final game for Wycombe Wanderers in the League One playoff final, and according to The Sun, he is now set for a new career in the media, starting with I'm A Celeb.
"Ade is in the frame and would be keen on appearing," a source told the newspaper. "He was a hardman on the pitch, but is a gent off it.
"He's also charismatic and funny and knows loads of people in the game."
The new series is due to begin on ITV at the end of October.
