The latest series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! saw McFly guitarist Danny Jones triumph as the King of the Jungle, closely followed by runner-up Coleen Rooney and the third-place finisher, Reverend Richard Coles.
Despite not clinching the top spot, Richard formed an amusing and unexpected friendship with Loose Women panellist Grace ‘GK’ Barry, prompting ITV viewers to relish their banter and suggest they should pair up for their own show once back in the real world.
During a Wednesday slot on Lorraine, Richard let slip that what audiences are clamouring for might just come to fruition. The Scottish star asked: “You were very much at the heart of that show and everybody came to you, just to talk to you because you’re so easy to talk to.
“But you two, everybody was speculating, can you do something together?” to which Richard didn’t beat around the bush confirming that there were indeed plans afoot, reports the Daily Record.
Richard confirmed: “We are going to do something together.” He took it a step further, revealing: “We’re actually having a meeting later today, and we’re going to see. I’m taking her to the opera!”
He explained the pair’s idea behind their potential collaboration, adding: “We’re going to explore our worlds, so I’m taking her to the opera and she’s taking me to, shall we say, a spa day with some intimate grooming.”
Uncertain about the prospect, Lorraine grimaced as she warned Richard that he may be in for quite the surprise. His response was: “She told me what it is and I thought it was a vuvuzela which you get in the World Cup, but it’s a vajazzle.”
Reflecting on what lay ahead for Richard, Lorraine hinted at an eye-opening experience, remarking: “It’ll be an interesting one!”
Last year concluded with fans witnessing GK and Richard’s heartfelt reunion on-screen when he joined Loose Women to chat about his experiences.
While it appears that the pair might have their own project brewing, viewers are eagerly suggesting they make an appearance on Celebrity Gogglebox.
One viewer expressed: “Your friendship with Richard was so sweet. You two definitely need to be on Celebrity Gogglebox. Please put him on your podcast.”
Another pleaded earnestly: “You and the Rev need to go on Gogglebox”. Echoing the sentiment, a fan suggested: “Grace gave us some of the best conversations with Richard, I need a celeb gogglebox episode with them two as soon as I’m going to miss them.”
Lorraine continues weekdays on ITV from 9am.
