During the run, he was dubbed Mr Bushtucker Trial for taking on the most ever challenges - 12 - a record he holds to this day.
Adam, 36, then became a jungle VIP by returning to host spin-off show Extra Camp in 2019 alongside Joel and Emily Atack.
A source said: “This will be a glorious return for Adam as he established himself as a true fan favourite through his series in camp and then on the spin-off show.
“He’s stayed in the limelight, too, with Waterloo Road and then on ITV alongside brother Ryan with challenge show 99 To Beat.
“It’s the perfect time for him to head back into the jungle and affirm his position as Mr Bushtucker Trial.”
Adam is in advanced talks with ITV about signing for legends’ series second run, due to be filmed in rugged Kruger National Park in South Africa this Autumn and will air next year.
The line-up will also include ex-football manager Harry Redknapp, 78 - crowned King of the Jungle in 2018 - and former Towie star Gemma Collins, 44, who lasted only three days in 2014.
The first all-star version in 2023 saw the returns of Myleene Klass, Helen Flanagan, Jordan Banjo and Carol Vorderman.
It was one of the biggest entertainment shows of 2023, averaging 5.2m viewers per episode.
I’m A Celebrity’s regular run will return as normal to Australia this November.
