A CORONATION Street star has been tipped to head Down Under later this year after exiting the embattled soap.
Rumours have started to swirl about which famous faces could be preparing themselves to head into the ITV jungle.
Now, it seems that this year’s soap star has been sealed according to the bookies.
Actor Adam Hussain has found himself being lined-up for the show after it was revealed he had quit his soap role of Aadi Alahan.
With his soap exit due to play out very soon, it has left many convinced that his next move will be heading into I’m A Celebrity.
According to Betway, they are expecting to see Adam face the Bushtucker Trials this year.
The company’s spokesperson Mike Reading said: “Adam Hussain looks set for a brand new adventure beyond Coronation Street.
“With the I’m A Celeb lineup still firmly under wraps, we have priced him up at 7/1 to swap the Rovers Return for bugs, rice, and beans.”
Adam’s exit from the soap follows a dramatic month for Aadi which saw him throw a house party mid-week in the middle of the day that ended with drastic consequences.
A drugs scandal spilled out onto the Street, which resulted in Lauren Bolton facing hospitalisation.
Confirming his soap exit earlier this year, Adam said: “Over the five years I’ve spent there, I have learned so much about the world and the industry and now feel I am ready to spread my wings a little.”
Sources say that while it was big decision to make, Adam is feeling confident and excited for the future.
Insiders told The Sun: “He’s telling people he’s quit, not because he’s had enough of the show but his character hasn’t had any decent storylines for ages.
“He’s had loads of new opportunities coming his way so he already feels like he’s made the right decision.”
