Talent Management has just read reports in The Sun that Ricky Gervias’ mate, Karl Pilkington, is a favourite for the next series of ‘I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here’.

Bosses of the show have reportedly expressed an interest in the ‘An Idiot Abroad’ star and the 38 year old funny man has confirmed that he’s been approached by ITV about the possibility.

Pilkington told The Sun: “I am not a fan of spiders, but I don’t think anyone is.

“My main worry is being stuck with whoever else is there. My worst nightmare would be to see Ricky.”

Gervais has reassured him that he can rest easy, “Why would you ever want to do that? I’d never do it.”

We would love to see Karl Pilkington on the show.
