Manchester United legend Roy Keane was approached by presenters Ant and Dec on the "Stick to Football" podcast and asked if he would consider participating in the reality TV show "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!".
Keane, who also works as an ITV football pundit, gave a definitive "Dream on, lads, dream on" when questioned about the possibility. Despite this blunt refusal, Ant and Dec continued to playfully pressure him, with Dec joking that they would take a potential deal to ITV themselves.
Keane expressed frustration with the constant focus on monetary figures, stating, "Why do you think it’s always about numbers? Everyone thinks it’s about numbers." He also revealed that he had been asked to appear on the show a couple of times previously.
While fellow podcast guests Gary Neville, Jill Scott, Ian Wright, and Jamie Carragher engaged in the banter, and Scott even suggested he'd be "so good" in the jungle and asked if there was "one per cent" chance he'd consider it, Keane remained non-committal, stating he doesn't "like looking too far forwards."
