Controversial footballer Roy Keane turned down a massive €500,000 offer to appear on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
However Keano – who producers have called their “all time dream guest” turned down the big money offer for now.
Sources have revealed they offered him at least €500,000, and would be willing to increase it even further – knowing the publicity they would get out of him.

“Roy Keane would be absolute box office gold and for him even to meet with ITV, they must have thought they had a real shot at getting him since he didn’t just dismiss them out of hand,” a source told the Sun.
“ITV have offered six-figure deals to contestants but they would break the bank to get Roy Keane on board, you’re talking ‘500,000 and over, easily.
“He would be the all-time dream guest. The publicity he’d bring would pay for itself!”
Yesterday Keane, 43, admitted he hasn’t ruled out an appearance some time in the future, saying: “There’s more to life than football.”
An I’m A Celeb spokeswoman said: “The full line-up will be revealed in the coming weeks. We do not comment on potential contestants.”
