WAYNE Bridge could soon be following in the footsteps of former Premier League stars John Fashanu, Keiron Dyer and Jimmy Bullard.
According to reports, the former England defender is the latest star to sign up for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!
The retired footballer – who has played for Chelsea, Southampton and West Ham – left the game in 2014 and since then has kept a low profile, never really basking in the spotlight.
But thats all about to change when he gets Down Under.
“Wayne never really sought fame when he was a footballer so it’s surprising he agreed to go in the jungle,” a source told The Sun.
But ITV Bosses hope the 36-year-old will talk about the scandal involving ex-teammate John Terry – which rocked football in 2010.
Terry allegedly had an affair with Wayne’s ex-girlfriend and mum of his son, Veronica Perroncel.
The alleged affair resulted in Bridge quitting international football – and Terry quitting as England captain.
The source continued: “ITV believe they’ve made a real coup getting him on board as he’s never discussed the John Terry scandal before.
“They’re secretly hoping the subject crops up during while the celebs talk endlessly around the camp fire to pass time.”
Luckily Wayne has since found love with The Saturday’s pop babe Frankie Bridge and the two now have two boys.
