The singer and guitarist had an emotional reunion with his wife Georgia and their six-year-old son Cooper as he crossed the famous jungle bridge last night.
He is already a judge on The Voice UK, alongside his bandmate Tom Fletcher, but insiders said telly bosses are keen to sign him up for more shows.
A source said: “Danny is the embodiment of everything ITV loves. He’s fun, family friendly and incredibly popular.
“Watching how popular he was on I’m A Celeb made him a key target for other shows they have coming up. Danny is a brilliant musician, but he is also great on TV.
“ITV bosses want to see if they can sign him on for another series of The Voice UK and there are other shows they think he could be perfect on.”
Danny won over I’m A Celeb viewers early on as he opened up on his struggles with mental health.
During the first week, he broke down in tears as he revealed he started having therapy for anxiety aged 19 after suffering a panic attack during a live TV interview.
He also spoke about his estrangement from his dad Alan, 72, who he has not seen for 18 years after he left his mum, Kathy.
Danny said: “He doesn’t speak to me. I just don’t think I’ve really… healed with it, maybe. I had a good relationship with my dad. He was my best mate until he left.”
