Strictly’s Tony Adams is eyeing up I’m A Celebrity next year after ‘quitting dancing for good’
STRICTLY star Tony Adams could be headed for I’m A Celebrity next year after telling fans: “I’m hanging up my dancing shoes for good.”
The football legend, 56, confessed he’s relieved to be free from gruelling training after his eight-week run in the competition.
But, as a sucker for punishment, Tony hinted he’d be up for a stint in the jungle next year – if he’s approached by ITV.
Former King of the Jungle Harry Redknapp joined Tony on a panel at The Sun’s World Cup Preview last night.

Harry replied: “Oh absolutely. They’ll pay you a million quid.”
