Gavin & Stacey actress Joanna Page is reportedly in advanced talks to appear on ITV's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!

Joanna Page, best known for playing Stacey Shipman in the BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey, is reportedly in advanced talks to join ITV's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! The 49-year-old Oxfordshire-based actress is said to be a top target for ITV bosses ahead of the new series.

According to a source quoted in reports, ITV wants to 'put her front and centre' on the show. 'Joanna is in the advanced stages of talks for I'm a Celebrity and all the signs are looking positive,' the source said. 'She's a huge BBC star and it would be a coup if ITV can get her to sign her contract and put her front and centre on their biggest entertainment show.'

Page has reportedly confided in friends that she is 'really keen to take part' and wants to go on to 'make her children proud'. ITV bosses hope to use the jungle setting to help the public 'get to know the real Joanna'. The series is expected to take place in the Australian jungle in November. Page would not be the first from the Gavin & Stacey cast to appear on the show; footballer Wayne Rooney, ice skater Christopher Dean and Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson are also rumoured to be in talks.
