I'm a Celebrity finalist Shaun Ryder has expressed interest in returning to the jungle for the upcoming All Stars edition of the ITV series - but only if Alison Hammond isn't there.
He only wants to return for the special edition of the jungle-based show if she isn't there, as he "definitely wouldn't want to be reunited with Alison".
The ex-Happy Mondays singer clashed repeatedly with the TV personality when they were together in the 2010 show and again backstage at Dancing on Ice earlier this year.
Hinting that ITV might have asked him to return, Shaun, who was runner-up in 2010, vowed to be crowned King of the Jungle and he said that bushtucker trials are a doddle.
Discussing the experience recently, the musician commented: "I have had harder Wednesdays than being in the jungle so eating all the grubs was not that difficult."
He said that the most difficult part of doing the show a decade ago was the journey to Australia, with him further admitting that he was concerned about his campmates.
"The hardest part was the long flight [and] I was most bothered about meeting a bunch of f***ing lovelies and spoilt motherf***ers - but I pretty much liked everybody," he said.
Shaun, 59 - who finished runner-up behind Stacey Solomon on the show - however clashed with presenter Gillian McKeith, but now he admits he has respect for her.

"Gillian was great and anyone who can blag a TV show about looking at s*** and has absolutely no qualifications as a doctor is all right for me," he commented recently.
Former contestants, including Stacey, are in talks to return to the show for a summer special rumoured to be based in South Africa. Shaun has teased that he might even return.
Shaun, who now performs with rock band Black Grape, added: "I've always said that if I got asked to go into the jungle again I would. Have I been asked? You had better ask them."
Black Grape will headline on Sunday at the bank holiday Great Estate Festival in Redruth Cornwall. Visit greatestatefestival.co.uk/tickets/
