… Yes, so much so, he’s apparently agreed to do a reality show in the UK. 2005′s It Boy Jesse Metcalfe has finally conceded his career’s in the toilet so has signed up for annual humiliation-fest I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! (It may have lasted one season in the US, but has been running every year since 2002 in the UK. We just can’t get enough of D-listers eating kangaroo balls). Apparently, Jesse’s set to rake in $175,000 (£100,000) for his appearance on the show next month, which has got to be at least four times what he made for Insanitarium (what do you mean, you’ve never heard of it?)
“Jesse’s been seen around London the last few days and he’s made no secret of the fact that I’m a Celeb want him in the show. He’s keen to join. He wouldn’t have wasted his time flying over from the States otherwise,” a source told the News of the World.
It’s also been rumoured that 1999′s It Girl Shannon Elizabeth will also be joining Jesse in the Australian jungle, and if so, they’ll join the esteemed ranks of fellow Americans David Gest and Janice Dickinson, who previously prostrated themselves in front of the British viewing public in exchange for exposure, and cold, hard, cash.
