Kelly Brook is reportedly 'set to travel to Australia' next month to appear on I'm A Celeb, despite previously claiming she would never do it.
The Heart FM presenter, 45, is said to be joining the ITV series alongside other big name stars including UK rapper Aitch, TikTok star Angry Ginge and LBC presenter Nick Ferrari.
Back in 2018, Kelly said there would be 'a million' other things she would rather do like working in her local pub, than appear in the jungle.
'I don't want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles and all the things they have to eat on there,' she said on her Heart radio show.
'Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn't do it.'
Kelly finished with her honest opinion about appearing on the primetime show saying: 'It's kind of like the beginning of the end in my opinion!'

Seven years ago the Heart FM presenter said there'd be 'a million' other things she'd rather do, than appear in the jungle, even claiming appearing meant the beginning of the end of a celebs career
That said - and with rumours that bosses have tried to get Kelly on the show for years - it is thought the model may been persuaded this time by a big money deal.
A source told The Sun: 'She's glamorous, witty and a familiar face to ITV audiences, having appeared as a panellist for Loose Women and other shows.
'She's guaranteed to make perfect TV viewing.'
They added: 'Many viewers will be excited to see her strip off for the famous jungle waterfall show too.'
The Daily Mail reached out to Kelly's representative for comment whilst an ITV spokesperson told us: 'Any names suggested for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! are just speculation. The 2025 line up had not been announced yet.'
Last year, Kelly and her husband Jeremy Parisi, 40, swapped glamour for grit as they joined the BBC reality travel series Celebrity Race Across the World.
Over the years, she’s been linked to several high-profile partners, including action star Jason Statham, Hollywood actor Billy Zane, and rugby aces Danny Cipriani and Thom Evans.
The star met Italian model Jeremy in 2014 after sliding into his Instagram DMs and the pair tied the knot eight years later, in 2022.

Reality TV wouldn't be a new thing for Kelly, 45, as last year, she and her husband Jeremy Parisi, 40, appeared on Celebrity Race Across The World
With the show's premise being to attempt to get to different locations across the world as quickly as possible often with basic accommodation, Kelly will be used to roughing it

Earlier this month Loose Women star Jeremy Parisi, 40, branded Kelly Brook's marriage as 'suffocating' as she opened up about the lengths she and her husband go to spend as much time together as possible.
Kelly gushed over her husband during an episode of the ITV panel show at the beginning of October and told her co-stars how they both work hard to ensure their schedules align, as well as eating dinner together every single night.
She explained: 'I'm very co-dependent and I think Jeremy and I just wanna be together all the time.
'Well, I definitely wanna be with him all the time, not sure he would say the same.
'We like to go off and work separately, but I think in the evenings, we really pride ourselves on having dinner together, that's really sacred to us.
'My marriage is really sacred.'
Kelly continued: 'I've got a very old fashioned writing diary in my office, open, and he will check it for me and see what I'm doing.
'We will schedule things to make sure we are together most of the time.'
At that point, long-serving panelist Jane Moore asked her whether Jeremy would accompany her if she had to go abroad or be away overnight for a job.
The radio host replied: 'Yeah, he would either come with me or I just wouldn't go.
'I will always check in with him if I have a job. My marriage is number one.'
Visibly stunned, Mariella Frostrup told her: 'I'm feeling quite suffocated just listening to you.'
