A legendary I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! winner and iconic TV star who lasted 72 hours are reportedly on the 'brink of an All Stars comeback' as the second season heads to South Africa.
And that is none other than Jungle King Harry Redknapp and Gemma Collins, according to The Sun.
The popular former Spurs boss, 78, is said to be set for another huge pay after reportedly earning £500,000 on 2018's main series.
Meanwhile, Gemma is also on the verge of landing a mega-deal - reputed to be over £150,000 - despite quitting 2014's main show after just three days.
A source told the publication: 'It's going to be a real coup.
'Harry is TV gold and was first on the list of wannabe celebrity contestants.'
MailOnline has contacted Gemma's and Harry's representative and ITV for comment.
All Stars will be filmed this autumn and go out in the New Year.
Harry is said to be the most popular contestant to ever have appeared on the series.
A peak audience of 12.1million viewers tuned in to watch Harry be crowned the King of the Jungle on the finale, capping off weeks of record-breaking numbers for ITV's 16-year-old ratings juggernaut.
Bosses at ITV revealed that the finale gave one of the show its highest peak audience of the series, with average viewing numbers of 10.9million.
Based on seven-day consolidated data, the series averaged 12.2 million viewers, making it the highest rating series in the show's history.
Speaking after his win, Harry said: 'I'm amazed I survived three weeks to be honest with you.
'When I first came in, I looked and I thought, "Oh my God, I'm in trouble here." I looked at the group and I thought, they don't really know or are interested in anything I'm interested in.
'I thought it's going to be a hard couple of weeks but they just dragged me through it, every one of them.
'They're the most lovely people I've ever met, the whole group. There wasn't one person I could ever say one single bad word about. They were amazing.
'Without them, I would never have survived. They really have helped me. They pulled me up hills, they've dragged me through the water.
'They've been pushing me; "C'mon Harry get up, you can do it".'
Meanwhile, Gemma headed Down Under back in 2014, but only lasted in the jungle for three days before jetting back to the UK.
Following her abrupt exit over a decade ago, Gemma admitted she would be willing to give the jungle another go if given the chance.
She told the Sun in 2015: 'Everything would be different a second time. I'd be like Lara Croft and Angelina Jolie rolled into one, and I'd do the tasks.
'I'm not scared of nothing. Hopefully one day the producers may give me another chance.'
And the reality star has previously vowed to stay until the end, telling the Mirror ahead of her jungle adventure: 'I think that I'm going to find it extremely tough; like every time I think about it, I feel sick, actually.
'It's going to be difficult for me, but, you know, no one takes the GC down. Yeah, every time I feel down, I'm just going to take a deep breath, and go, "You can do this. You can do it." That's what I'm going in with, that mindset. Nothing can kill me.'
During her appearance on the show, the GC was seen complaining over the lack of food and far-from plush environment, leading many fans to suggest this was the reason she left.
