Tommy Fury has reportedly pulled out of an appearance on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in favour of another lucrative deal.
Following a shock split from fiancee Molly-Mae Hague earlier this year, the 25-year-old had been heavily rumoured to be in talks to head down under with ITV reality show for their upcoming series.
Given his relation to boxing legend Tyson Fury and recent high profile split, Fury would’ve given viewers plenty of reason to tune in.

However, the nation's dreams of seeing the Love Island alum covered in bugs and chowing down on various insects is no more, as the boxer has pulled out at the last minute.
According to a report published in The Sun, Fury has decided against appearing on the show just two weeks before he was due to fly out to Australia, after receiving a more lucrative offer. The report added that this offer will see him step back into the ring for a rematch against KSI, who he previously triumphed over in a match last October.
Which, to be fair, is probably less daunting than spending weeks in the Australian jungle surrounded by Australia’s infamous wildlife and being voted to take on various Bushtucker trials by the British public.

The update comes just days after Fury was grilled over a possible jungle appearance during a recent radio interview on Heart, in which he told host Amanda Holden: “Listen, a lot of things in my life is like a rollercoaster in a minute. There are so many things I might do. You know, could he be doing this? Could he be doing that? To be honest with you, I don't know what I'm doing this afternoon.
"I mean, I just take literally an hour at a time, so I don't know. There's a lot of things going on in my life right now. So, I'm not sure on anything.”
As for who will be appearing on the show, ITV bosses are yet to confirm the line-up, however, various names have been heavily linked over the past couple of months. These include Colleen Rooney, aka ‘Wagatha Christie’, former Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice and influencer GK Barry.

However, it’s important to note that all these names are still heavily speculated, as a spokesperson for ITV recently told LADbible: “Any names suggested for I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! are just speculation.”
Guess we’ll just have to wait and see!
