Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing in talks to join I’m A Celebrity after pal Georgia Toffolo won reality show
THE public showed how much they love a Toff when Georgia Toffolo won I’m A Celebrity – and now another one is hoping to follow in her footsteps.
ITV bosses have been in touch with her Made In Chelsea pal Jamie Laing, who impressed last year on sister show Extra Camp.
A TV source said: “Jamie has been telling friends he is in talks to do it, which is long overdue after his stints on the ITV2 show.
“Producers love that he has got a TV following and online fans with his own YouTube channel, as they are trying to snap up a younger audience.
“He’s a cheeky chappie and no doubt the public will fall in love with him like they did Toff.”
The timing is perfect for Jamie, who finishes his Private Parts podcast tour days before campmates fly to the Aussie jungle in November.
There will be some familiar faces around for him, after I told how Scarlett Moffatt is returning to Extra Camp alongside Joel Dommett and Joe Swash.
I love Toff and Jamie but it would be nice this time for a commoner to rule the jungle.

Reality faves in farm's way
THIS is what reality TV types think you should wear to get down and dirty on a working farm.
Towie’s Megan McKenna and Ex On The Beach’s Charlotte Dawson turned up in their gladrags for 5Star’s Celebs On The Farm, which starts tonight, before slipping into something more suitable, pictured, for mucking out.
They had a tough time, too. Megan said: “It was traumatising. Cleaning the pigs was a challenge.
“And there was no way of washing my extensions.”
The horror.

JIMMY Carr has not always used his braying laugh. The 8 Out Of 10 Cats host told Bizarre TV at The Festival premiere: “If you watch my first DVDs, I hide my laugh, as I’m so uptight on stage. You’re nervous speaking to a thousand people.”
Gord's a sued chef
GORDON Ramsay is being sued by the Oceana Grill in New Orleans over footage posted on the chef’s Kitchen Nightmares’ Facebook page last week.
The clip, filmed in 2011, shows Gordon sniffing a container of shrimp in the kitchen and vomiting in a bin, and opening a trap which had three dead mice inside.
The restaurant originally tried to block the episode from being shown, claiming the scenes had been staged.
But a deal was eventually reached where show bosses agreed not to reproduce the footage in the future without paying a fee of £7,800 and adding a disclaimer saying the kitchen had improved.
The lawsuit claims that the Facebook clip violates that agreement and portrays the Oceana “in a patently false and negative light”.
I thought Americans loved a few special effects on screen?
