Rachel Hunter is reportedly set to star in the new series of 'I'm A Celebrity- Get Me Out of Here'.

The New Zealand model, ex-wife of Rod Stewart, is said to have agreed to appear on the gruelling reality show and rough it in the Australian jungle.

An ITV source said: "Rachel is the kind of big name the show would love to sign up. She is stunning and has some great stories to tell.

"It would be a rush for her to get out to Oz for the show but, if the price is right, she could be willing."

The long-legged 37-year-old blonde is currently appearing as a judge on Channel Five's 'Make Me a Supermodel', which ends on November 16, just in time for the jungle show.

'I'm A Celebrity-' has already suffered a big blow after losing 80s pop sensation Adam Ant in a bidding war to rival reality show 'Celebrity Big Brother'.

It is hoped the sight of Rachel stripped to her bikini, basking in the scorching Australian sun will help boost the show's ratings.

Other female stars believed to be taking part in this year's series include pop star Louise Redknapp, former S Club 7 singer Rachel Stevens, glamour model Michelle Marsh and former 'Hollyoaks' actress Gemma Atkinson.
