Speaking to RadioTimes.com in an exclusive interview at the National Television Awards, the Good Morning Britain presenter said that he had some "unfinished business" with the reality competition.

When asked whether he'd sign up for the All Stars series, Madeley said: "I'd think about it. It was very disappointing for me that I had to leave, because I had this funny turn in the night. I think I was dehydrated. I had to go and be checked out straight away.

"On the way back, I had a call in the taxi saying you can't come back in because of the COVID bubble. That is why I had to leave," he said. "It was pretty frustrating – so it does feel like unfinished business."

He added: "So yeah – if they came to me and asked if I'd like to go back. I'm guessing it would be in Australia this time, not the cold of Gwrych Castle. I'd certainly think about it."
