Royal ex Koo Stark touted for this autumn’s I’m A Celebrity…

It'd be a trade-up from butler Burrell

Prince Harry’s rumoured former flame Camilla Thurlow made a splash on this summer’s Love Island.

Now it looks like another royal ex could be making her mark on reality TV.

Prince Andrew’s actress ex Koo Stark has been tipped for this year’s I’m A Celebrity.

A source told the Mirror: “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.”

Hmmm… would she be worth the fee though? Camilla remained steadfastly tight-lipped about her connection to Harry, and Koo is likely to be similarly silent on her royal ex.

She dated the Queen’s middle son for 18 months back in the early 1980s – there was speculation the couple would marry, but their affair came to an abrupt end when it emerged that the US actress had appeared in a slight racy film, Emily, in 1976.

The 61-year-old has kept her counsel on the relationship all this time – and the ex-lovers remain close some 30 years later.

The Duke of York, 57, is godfather to Koo’s 20-year-old daughter Tatiana.

Other celebrities in the frame include former footballer pundit Stan Collymore, current enfant terrible of the pitch Joey Barton, and ex rugby player Ben Cohen.

It’s also been reported that both Jonny Mitchell and Muggy Mike from Love Island are under scrutiny.
