Tommy Fury, the professional boxer who made his TV debut on Love Island in 2019 and met his now ex-fiancée Molly-Mae, is rumored to be in talks to join the cast of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! after their recent breakup. The reality star could use the opportunity to boost his image and get back into the public's good graces.
An ITV source revealed that Tommy is a popular candidate for the show due to his previous appearance on Love Island and his potential for entertaining Bushtucker Trials. Additionally, his chiseled physique makes him a prime candidate for the infamous shower scenes. However, it remains to be seen how appearing on the show could affect his career and reputation.
PR brand and culture expert Lynn Carratt shared her thoughts on the matter, stating that while Tommy's reputation may have been damaged by recent cheating rumors (which he denies), he could use this opportunity to repair it and come across as likeable. She also mentioned the potential for a career resurgence and the show's ability to attract younger audiences.
While it's uncertain if Tommy will be offered one of the show's most lucrative contracts, it's likely he could command a fee of around £250,000 to appear. However, it's also expected that he would be asked to comment on his relationship with Molly-Mae during his time on the show. Lynn believes he can still be mindful of what he says while still being entertaining.
Although Tommy's return to reality TV has not been confirmed, Lynn is doubtful he would consider another dating show, given the public's investment in his previous relationship. Instead, she sees him as a better fit for shows like I'm A Celebrity or Strictly Come Dancing. She also mentioned the possibility of Molly-Mae starring in a fly-on-the-wall reality show or documentary about life after Tommy.
Tommy has already had some experience in the world of reality TV, appearing on ITV2's The Boxer and The Ballroom Dancer and his brother Tyson Fury's Netflix documentary series. However, a planned Amazon Prime documentary series featuring Tommy and Molly-Mae has been canceled following their split. The Agency has reached out to ITV and Tommy's representatives for comment, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
In the end, it seems like Tommy Fury could use a boost in his career and public image, and I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! could be just the opportunity he needs. We'll just have to wait and see if he ends up in the jungle later this year. Until then, we'll be eagerly anticipating the return of the hit reality show to our screens.
