McFadden joining Andre in the jungle?

Former Westlife singer Brian McFadden is reportedly heading for the jungle to participate in the reality TV show 'I'm a Celebrity.Get me out of here'.

According to the Daily Star, the 29-year-old is close to signing a deal to join Peter Andre in the Australian jungle in November.

The newspaper is reporting that the singer will use the money he would earn from the show to fight his ex-wife, Kerry McFadden for custody of their two daughters, Molly, eight and Lily-Sue, six.

He recently admitted that he was left almost bankrupt after his 2004 divorce from the former Atomic Kitten and the consequent custody battle.

A source said: "Brian lost his profile when he left Westlife. The jungle would be the perfect chance for a comeback.

"The show made Kerry a national treasure [when she won in 2004]. Things haven't been too great lately but the show brought her back from obscurity. It could do the same for Brian."
