Following her romance with Brooklyn Beckham, 24, in 2017, producers are eager for her to spill the tea on their time together - and she's more than willing to.

And while she's been spotted gracing the red carpets alongside her famous mum in racy costumes, Afton's keen to wow viewers with even skimpier outfits.

We can reveal she's got her mum to thank for opening the doors for her, as we hear poo-inspecting nutritionist Gillian has sweet talked the powers that be at ITV, following her recent I'm A Celebrity comeback for the All Stars series.

A source said: "Being a jungle legend, Gillian has pulled some strings at ITV where she has friends in very high places.

"She's told bosses how great her daughter would be and there have been discussions for her to join the show at some point.

"The Islanders won't know what's hit them when Afton rocks up. She isn't afraid to play up for the cameras, strip down to risqué outfits and get stuck into the challenges.

"She's even prepared to tell all on her romance with Brooklyn Beckham, as well as the entire family."

Love Island - which launched with 1.7m viewers across all devices and had a combined peak audience of 1.9m - is set to run until 31st July.

Afton dated Brooklyn when she was a teenager - but recently claimed she's not interested in what he gets up to now - including his recent nuptials to Nicola Peltz, 28.

She told The Sun last month: “I didn't watch any of his wedding. I actually don't keep up with what he does. 

“But I actually bumped into him not so long ago in Los Angeles at my local supermarket - Erewhon - and her as well. 

“You know, they seem good. I wish them the best. I hope they have a really long and happy marriage."

Afton - who publicly told how Brooklyn blocked her on Instagram - added: “It was extremely awkward.”

The young couple's fling was reportedly between Brooklyn's relationships with Madison Beer and Chloe Grace Moretz. A source told Daily Star at the time: “The romance didn’t last too long but Afton definitely grew feelings for Brooklyn.”

At the time Afton - who met Brooklyn's parents at their family home and claimed Victoria was "very protective" over her son, insisted: “I’m better off without him. I’m fine.”

Afton has enjoyed a two-and-a-half stint in Los Angeles and Austin, Texas where she started an acting career and was even crowned a Miss USA spokesmodel.

She’s now moved back to London to be closer to her mum.
