I’m a Celebrity bosses target Prince Andrew’s former lover Koo Stark for next series
I'M A Celebrity bosses are keen to sign up Prince Andrew's former flame Koo Stark for the next series.
claims the ex-actress has been tipped to appear in the jungle in the hope she will spill the beans on her 18 month romance with the Duke of York in the 1980s.
While Koo is known for being extremely private, show bosses are reportedly hoping she will open up about her relationship with the Prince during her time in the Australian jungle.
A source told the publication: "Koo is a brilliant booking. Everyone loves the royals, so what better than getting someone who actually dated one?
"It’s a huge year for the royals with the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death, Prince Harry’s relationship with Meghan and Prince Philip’s retirement.
"So if ITV bagged Koo is would be a massive coup.
“She has always been very discreet but maybe now the time is right for her to share some of her amazing stories.”
In fact Prince Harry's girlfriend - Suits actress Meghan Markle - has been compared to Koo thanks to them both being American and actresses who starred in sexy productions before meeting their Royal suitor.
Koo, now 61, even wrote an open letter to Meghan last year to warn her about life dating a Royal.
She wrote in the : "She’ll have to think very carefully about how she presents herself in public; What she does, what she wears, how she behaves and what she’s seen doing with whom.

"Her behaviour to a certain extent, now reflects upon Prince Harry.
"There will be a conflict of interests in any interview she gives promoting films or plays in the future – there will inevitably be far more interest in her relationship.
"She’ll never get away from it."
It isn't the first time Koo, now a photographer, has been approached by I'm a Celeb bosses, having been due to appear in the 2007 series.
However she was dropped at the last minute, with sources at the time blaming the need for the "right mix" of personalities the decision.
