The Sun reports that the 48-year-old has "finally given in", claiming that show bosses had tried to sign Wilson up "for years, but he's always politely declined".
Wilson is best known for fronting Leeds indie band Kaiser Chiefs, behind hits including Ruby, I Predict a Riot and Oh My God. Over the years he has also appeared on TV as a coach on The Voice UK, and more recently appeared on the BBC's Extraordinary Portraits.
Wilson is the latest name to be thrown into the rumour mill, amid casting reports of Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page, Mis-Teeq singer Su-Elise Nash, Strictly professional Nadiya Bychkova and Olympic figure skater Christopher Dean.
A source told The Sun that Adepitan has been in "talks" with I’m A Celebrity, adding: "Producers are currently looking at ways to adapt the camp to make it work for Ade. They think his infectious larger-than-life personality would make him a perfect campmate for the new series."
After moving to the United Kingdom, he became a wheelchair basketball player and was part of the British team that played at the 2004 summer Paralympics. He has since become a prominent TV presenter, with a career of over 20 years.
If Adepitan were to join the cast, he would be the first contestant to use a wheelchair on the show.
