Jack Grealish has dropped yet another hint that he may one day take part, in ITV's hit reality TV show I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, after starring in a new jungle-themed Pepsi advert and guessing game.
The Man City and England star, who showcased his street football skills during his first advert with the drinks titan in April, returned as the main feature of Pepsi's new commercial this week.
As three people who resembled contestants on a game show raced to complete their challenge in the jungle, Grealish appeared from the woods to curl a football straight through a hole in a wooden wall to their amazement.
The advert, 'Football Always Wins,' is part of Pepsi's new global campaign, which encourages fans to ditch their usual midweek routine and watch more midweek football, specifically the Champions League.
As part of this campaign, Pepsi tested Grealish with a new and simple guessing game titled 'What's in the box?'
While appearing to stand in the middle of the jungle, the City star was placed in front of a box and challenged to guess which item was inside simply by touch.
Many of the items were replicas of animals that can be found in the wild, such as a tiger or snake for example.
But the one creature Grealish admitted he would have the most trouble dealing with on a show like I'm A Celebrity is rats, after feeling a soft toy replica during the game.
'Is it a rat? I hate rats,' the 29-year-old confessed. 'I said that before.'
When asked if that would be his worst fear in the jungle, Grealish added: 'Yeah, I hate them. I can't stand them.'
After completing the challenge, Grealish said: 'Those who know me know how much I love game shows. So, when Pepsi revealed I’d be taking on a series of jungle-inspired challenges for its latest campaign, I couldn’t wait to get involved!'
The England international opened up on the possibility of going on I'm A Celeb back in November, en route to McFly singer Danny Jones being crowned the new King of the Jungle.
I'm A Celeb co-host Declan Donnelly revealed on TikTok that Grealish had been asked whether he would be interested in going on the show at some point in the future.
In the video shared by Donnelly, the Premier League star said: 'I’ve heard a few of you guys want to see me in the jungle, I can’t lie it’s something I would love to do. It’s a show that I’ve watched for years since I was little.'
Grealish was, however, quick to play down any hope of him appearing shortly, saying: 'I don’t know how I’d get on in there, I don’t think I’d be the best, to be honest, but I’d give it a go – not this year, I don’t think Pep would be too happy. But, never say never, it could happen one day.'
Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr has also teamed up with Pepsi for the 'Football Always Wins' campaign, encouraging fans to watch the Champions League over other television programs and streaming platforms.
