If the latest gossip to hit TV Towers is true, things could be hotting up in the I'm A Celebrity jungle this year.
Hugh Hefner's former squeeze Bridget Marquardt is among the celebrities rumored to have signed up for the new series.
Bridget, who ended her relationship with Hef earlier this year, reportedly caught the eye of ITV producers after appearing in reality series The Girls Of The Playboy Mansion. The 35-year-old glamour model starred in the series alongside Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson.
A pal told the Daily Star: "Bridget would love the challenge of the jungle and meeting new people. She's a fun girl."
Other famous faces in the frame for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 2009 include former Page 3 girl Samantha Fox, EastEnders actress Kara Tointon and Westlife singer Brian McFadden.
The reality show, hosted by TV faves Ant and Dec, returns to ITV1 next month.
