‘He absolutely walked his year, bagging nearly 70 per cent of the final vote over Martina and George.
‘When they were looking at those to invite back, he seemed a no-brainer.’

They also claimed that Joey, who came fourth in 2013, has also been seen near the National Heritage site, and is said to be filming segments with co-presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

‘As always with the jungle, they’re keeping their cards close to their chest and have yet to decide exactly what they will do with Charlie, Vicky and Joey, but it could be any number of things.
‘They told them they had to spend some time isolating, just like this year’s contestants have done, ahead of being taken up to Wales.’
The source added that while the trio are allegedly being offered the chance to isolate in Wales, they may not be asked to take part in the show in the end.
MailOnline has contacted I’m A Celebrity spokespeople, as well as representatives for Vicky, Joey, and Charlie for comment.
