Scottish I'm A Celebrity Contestants: All 8 Scots who have gone into the jungle - will Ally McCoist be the 9th?

A surprisingly small number of Scots have braved the reality gameshow where coping with bugs and beasties is a daily occurance.

Rangers footballing legend Ally McCoist has been rumoured to be one of the contestants in the upcoming 24th series of I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!.

The popular commentator and fomer Question of Sport team captain didn’t deny that he would be heading to the jungle to talkSPORT presenters Alan Brazil and Gabby Logan this week, quipping to Logan that “I could do with losing a stone-and-a-half, couldn't I?"

He’s thought to have been asked on twice before but has turned down TV chiefs both times.

First broadcast in 2002, I’m A Celebrity... challenges a bunch of well-known figures to spend a few weeks in the Australian jungle with little in the way of luxuries.

Hosted by Ant & Dec, the celebs have to carry out a series of ‘bush tucker trials’ to win meals for their camp, often involving close encounters - or even eating - some of the more colourful local wildlife.

Since that first season there have been 22 more, featuring 266 celebrities, but remarkable only eight of those have been Scots.

Here are all eight - and how they did.
