Actress Lindsay Lohan is being tipped to appear on the next series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! according to the papers. The Sunday Mirror reports that both the UK and US versions of the show are desperate to sign the troubled actress up for a stint in the jungle. "Lindsay's the perfect person for a reality show like I'm A Celeb," an insider told the paper. "She's young, fallen and there's an element of tragedy in her life." "Most people who go on the show are in need of a healthy pay cheque and also want to raise their careers from the dead. Lindsay is perfect fodder for the show." The UK version has just started work on recruiting the line up for the next series, with the likes of Samantha Fox and Brian Blessed also being tipped to appear. And the US version of the show is also approaching Lindsay's people in an effort to tempt her into the jungle. "This could potentially net her up to £250,000," the insider added. "She could certainly do with the money."
