Tommy Fury is being eyed by ITV bosses to star in the next series of Celebrity Big Brother, according to new reports.
The professional boxer, 25, who split from ex-fiance Molly-Mae Haag in the summer, recently ‘withdrew from his appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’.
Now ‘big money offers are flying around’ to get ‘hot property’ Tommy on the ITV2 series next year.
A source said The mirror: “These are big cash offers flying around as Tommy is a hot property.
“Anyone who has followed his relationship wants to know why they broke up so suddenly, so signing him to a new reality series would be a huge ratings boost.”

MailOnline has contacted representatives for ITV and Tommy Fury for comment.
Last week it was reported that Tommy had pulled out of I’m A Celebrity – just two weeks before he was expected to jet off to the Australian jungle.
The boxer had been ‘in talks with ITV producers for months’ to take part in the show.
However, it has been revealed that Tommy has been given another, more lucrative project, which is believed to be a rematch between him and KSI.
A TV insider said this The sun: ‘Bosses are surprised that Tommy has chosen to withdraw from I’m A Celebrity at this late stage as it would have been a great opportunity for him too.
‘Luckily the managers already had some great names waiting in the wings, so they are now looking to see which ones will best fit into the already booked line-up so they can deliver a truly great series.
‘With just weeks to go, bosses have lined up one of the most exciting casts in the show’s history.’

However, it has been revealed that Tommy has been given another, more lucrative project, which is believed to be a rematch between him and KSI.
Molly-Mae shocked fans when she ended her engagement to the boxer in the summer after a five-year relationship.
Tommy has since been accused of cheating on Molly-Mae after claiming he shared a passionate kiss with Danish Milla Corfixen, 20, during a boys’ holiday in North Macedonia.
Commenting on the rumours, he said: “All allegations made against me recently are completely false. The truth will come out in time and when it does, I think many people will regret their actions and unkind words.”
‘What the public thinks is going on is not what is going on. It’s not something I expected, but it didn’t come out of nowhere. It’s something that’s happened before during all of this, but the only people who know what’s going on in our relationship are me and Molly.”
During a new vlog earlier this month, Tommy teased fans that he had something “really, really exciting planned for the end of the year.”
He refused to reveal any more information about his secret project.
Tommy has denied being unfaithful to Molly and the source adds that attending the show could be his chance to give his side of the story.
Now KSI and Tommy Fury are set for a rematch after the former’s manager admitted their camps are in talks.

The YouTuber has revenge on his mind after Fury was awarded a controversial upset decision victory in October 2023, despite being given a point for illegal shots to the back of KSI’s head.
He is the only boxer to beat KSI – who admittedly has only had five fights – and his opponent’s manager, Mams Taylor, told The Sun that a repeat could be on the card.
“I think Tommy would do really well on the Misfits roster. And I know our teams are in touch,” Taylor, who is also co-president of Misfits Boxing, told the outlet.
“So watch this space. Let’s see what happens.
“As for KSI and Tommy, I think when the time is right, that rematch should definitely happen.
“To this day, people are still very divided about that outcome.”
