Strictly Come Dancing's Ola Jordan And Aliona Vilani 'Wanted For New Series Of I'm A Celebrity'

‘I’m A Celebrity’ bosses are reportedly divided over two former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professionals they’re hoping to sign up for this year’s series.

Both Ola Jordan and reigning champion Aliona Vilani stepped down from the BBC dance show when the most recent series wrapped up, with new reports claiming that ‘I’m A Celeb’ producers are hoping to snag one of them to go Down Under this year.

A show insider tells The Mirror: “Aliona and Ola are absolutely gorgeous and were massively popular on ‘Strictly’, but there would only be room for one.

“ITV have not confirmed any of the names for the new show, but they have been looking at Ola, they think she could be TV gold.

“They are also interested in Aliona as she was last year’s ‘Strictly’ winner and is yet to sign up to another show.”

Ola has repeatedly hit the headlines since stepping down as a professional dancer on ‘Strictly’, most notably when she spoke out against the show in her new, imaginatively-titled autobiography, ‘Strictly Ola’.

So far, only one ‘Strictly’ pro has ever taken part in ‘I’m A Celebrity’, with Vincent Simone appearing in the jungle in 2013, though both James Jordan and Kristina Rihanoff have appeared on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.

Meanwhile, on Thursday (22 September) Vicky Pattison confirmed rumours that she was taking on a new presenting role on ITV2’s ‘I’m A Celebrity’ spin-off, with fellow new recruits Stacey Solomon and Chris Ramsey set to join Joe Swash.
