LITTLE Mix’s Jesy Nelson is in advanced talks to join I’m A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here!

The singer, 35, has had a string of meetings about landing a six-figure deal to star in the ITV show’s 26th series.

A source said: “Jesy has been negotiating with ITV for weeks and now the talks are at a very promising stage.

“For Jesy, doing I’m A Celebrity would be a huge boost for her professionally as well as personally.

“Continuing to raise awareness around SMA for her girls is something Jesy is very keen to do, and she knows she can use a platform like I’m A Celebrity to reach millions.

“Jesy also loves challenges and is a huge fan of the show.

“She’d love to show the public a different side to her.

“She has been open about how she has struggled with anxiety in the past — and there’s no better way to challenge herself than going on a show like I’m A Celebrity.

"She's had a really hard time in the last couple of years but she's ready to grab life by the horns and get on with things.

"A complete change of scene and a fresh start is just what she needs, and those around her believe I'm A Celeb gives her that opportunity."

The source added: "It would be very hard for her to be away from her daughters for three weeks, but she wants to make them

"ITV bosses are thrilled they've got to this stage with Jesy and hope she will sign her contract in the coming weeks to seal the deal."

Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly's hit show, filmed in a jungle close to Australia's Gold Coast, will start filming in early November.

I hope it’s true!

Ugh I would love to hear the full thing!

Leigh-Anne on Traitors and now Jesy potentially being on I'm A Celeb! What could be next

JESY Nelson has pulled out of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! to care for her twin girls.

We revealed how the ex-Little Mix singer, 35, had signed up for the hit ITV show.

Jesy made the decision with a “heavy heart” but would never leave her poorly twins, sources said.

The ex-Little Mix star was excited to enter the jungle and raise awareness of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).

Daughters Ocean and Story have had the condition from birth and are too unwell for Jesy to risk flying to Australia for the ITV show, which starts filming next month.

A source said: “Jesy was so excited about joiningI’m A Celebrity, mainly because it was giving her a platform to continue her campaigning for SMA.

“She has already helped change Government policy over testing newborns for the condition.

“I’m A Celeb was going to be where she could spread her message even further, and show a side to her the public may not have seen before.”

Those close to Jesy said she spent weeks negotiating the deal, that was revealed by The Sun.

But she told ITV bosses last month she will be unable to commit.

The source added: “It’s with a very heavy heart she has pulled out.

“Ocean and Story are unwell and there is no way Jesy would leave them. Her family are her priority.

“ITV have been amazing and are supporting her all the way. The door will always be left open for Jesy.”

A show source added: “Producers were gutted that Jesy couldn’t be part of this year’s series.”

Out of all the possible images they’re run with her wearing a jacket that says ‘black’ on the front page after all the black fishing controversy 🫣

I honestly think she'd have won if she entered so I'm quite sad (but not surprised) she isn't.

What I am surprised about though is the fact it's front page news?!

Yeah still using that photo is crazy 💀

You all know I love Jesy but I also don’t get why it is front page news either 🤣

I’m also sad she’s not doing it, I genuinely wonder what is next for her. She seems to be struggling from the stuff she’s liking on Instagram so I think maybe it’s best she’s not doing it. Sad to hear her daughters have taken a turn and not doing well.

She filmed something yesterday it seems.
