Russell Watson has urged I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! fans to “watch this space” amid rumours that he could be a late addition to the show.

The Salford-born tenor has been tipped as a wildcard entry to the programme who will link up with the campmates once the series is under way.

He added: “I was linked with playing James Bond back in 2002 and that never happened – but watch this space.”

Watson also discussed his relationship with his wife Louise, saying he does “impromptu performances all the time” at home.

“Louise used to listen to every word I sang but now she says, ‘I’ll put Coronation Street on if that’s alright’,” he added.

“Who doesn’t love a bit of Volare when you’re making spaghetti bolognese for dinner?”

He added that his two daughters are “very protective” over him.
