Former Dragon’s Den star Duncan Bannatyne has signed up for this year’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

It has been reported that Bannatyne will be taking his new girlfriend Nigora Whitehorn with him to Australia.

The Scottish businessman began dating the 35-year-old dental nurse in June after former beauty queen Michelle Evans broke up with him on Twitter.

A source told the Daily Star: “Duncan is really excited about I’m a Celebrity and sees it as a new challenge after Dragon’s Den.

“He and Nigora are madly in love and he cannot wait for her and some of his children to join him out in Australia.”

Bannatyne admitted in June that he regretted sending a text to Ms Evans that suggested he would leak naked photographs of her, saying he did not mean it.

The multi-millionaire businessman had a public falling out with former girlfriend Evans after she dumped him on Twitter with the famous Dragons' Den phrase "I'm out!"
