Sam Fox for I’m A Celeb?
|
Possibly the best of the jungle-based ITV1 reality shows is returning on Sunday 15 November – that’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! if you’d forgotten – and, according to reports, former Page Three girl Samantha Fox is set to appear.
"Sam is a Page Three icon and will be the show's glamour girl,” a source told The Sun. “She's no pushover and will speak her mind. She'll be a strong contestant and viewers will be interested to see what she's up to."
The star will reportedly be paid £60,000 for her stint of bug-gargling – although that sum pales into insignificance alongside news that bosses are trying to lure Katie Price aka Jordan back into the undergrowth, with an offer of £450,000.
“It will at least be not on the first night and she will enter the jungle unannounced,” said an insider. “It is very cheeky and very bold.”
Sounds a bit like Jordan herself. The glamour model and best-selling author first appeared on I’m A Celeb… back in 2004, where she met the man who’d become her ex-husband, Peter Andre.
Added the source: “This would be the first time ever someone has gone back in. It is absolute ratings dynamite.”
But another person in the know told Jordan fans not to get their hopes up, saying: “I don’t think she will be doing it. She is going to Los Angeles when the show starts – but never say never with Katie."
Others rumoured to appear are footballer turned (ahem) respected thespian Vinnie Jones and former snooker champ Jimmy White. Extreme sports addict Jack Osbourne, son of Ozzy and Sharon, apparently turned down £100,000 to do the show. Wimp.
