Ten’s jungle adventure to get a new spin?

Daily MailDr Mumbo was intrigued to read the proclamation by the Daily Mail today that Nine cricket commentator and spin bowling legend Shane Warne may be headed to the jungle for Ten’s reality series I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

The jungle show is set to return to Ten on Sunday, January 31, while the network today refused to be drawn on the speculation.

But Dr Mumbo notes that since the story was published the cricket star has been tweeting furiously about his plans to visit the UK in the coming weeks.

Could this be an elaborate ruse to throw the media off the scent? Or should we put this in the same category as last year’s speculation that actress Melissa Joan Hart was going to star in the show?

Also on the speculation list for I’m A Celebrity is the one and only Julie Andrews of The Sound of Music fame.

Dr Mumbo isn’t necessarily buying either rumour but he does love the idea of both the singer and the spinner in a jungle adventure.
