The 70-year-old transgender star is reportedly swapping her luxurious Malibu life for a stint Down Under.
Caitlyn Jenner has signed up to star in this year's I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, according to reports.
The transgender star, 70, has allegedly agreed to head into the Australian jungle after she and ITV bosses shook on a whopping £500,000 fee.
The glamorous Malibu resident reportedly snagged one of the largest ever pay cheques in the show's 19-year history in a signing described as a "real bolt from the blue".
A source told The Sun: "She’s such a huge name and a great get for producers.
"ITV think she is one of their best ever signings. It’s a real bolt from the blue. They’ve asked her every year for a long time, but she finally felt the time was right."
However, ITV recently explained that any A-listers linked to the show at this point were just "speculation".

As well as her kids with Kris – Kylie and Kendall – she also shares two children with ex Linda Thompson – Brody and Brandon Jenner – and two more with ex Chrystie Jenner – Cassandra Marino and Burt Jenner.
