Getty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?
The Newcastle United and England legend claimed that Richards can win ITV's flagship reality television show, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here if he takes part in the future. Shearer believes that the ex-Manchester City star has what it takes to become the 'King of the Jungle', although he clarified that he would never take part in the reality series himself.
WHAT ALAN SHEARER SAID
Speaking to Betfair, Shearer said: "I’m a Celeb is due to start later this month and other than Wrighty, who we know has been in the jungle - and he's told me all about it and how he won't be going back in - there's only Micah Richards of my punditry colleagues I could see in there! If it was between him or Martin Keown, it would have to be Micah Richards. He could be the King of the Jungle, and it would sure be entertaining seeing him in there. I can't see myself going in there though, absolutely not!"

The Premier League's all-time record goalscorer also revealed that ex-Arsenal star Ian Wright, who participated in season 19 of the show in 2019 and finished eighth, has told him that he will never go back to the reality show. Wayne Rooney's wife Coleen is among the 12 participants who will head to Australia for the brand new season of the show.
WHAT NEXT?
The Premier League will be back this weekend with Chelsea and Arsenal locking horns in the marquee clash of the gameweek at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Meanwhile, the new series of 'I'm a Celebrity' is due to begin on November 17.
