Charlotte Crosby to star in Australian version of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here

Ex-Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby is set to appear in the Australian version of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here. 

The TV star, who has long dreamed of appearing on the show , revealed the news to her Twitter followers on Thursday evening.

She will follow in the footsteps of her former co-star Vicky Pattison, who won the British series back in 2015 .

Charlotte said on Twitter: "Wondered why I’ve been quiet?!?! IM ONLY GOING IN THE GOD DAM SOUTH AFRICAN JUNGLE for @ImACelebrityAU finally my dreams have come true and I don’t have to photoshop my head on the English line up anymore see you soon my jungle buddies #ImACelebrityAU "

Her involvement in the Aussie version comes after the UK version banned reality stars from appearing on its show.

A source told The Sun: “Charlotte’s team have tried to get her onto I’m A Celebrity for years but they’ve always turned her down.

“When they used to feature reality stars she was either not famous enough or too late to the party.

“And after they put their ban in place a few years back, she was told it was impossible.

“Now she’s taking part in the Aussie version and she can’t wait.

"Charlotte is a huge name in Australia and they love her out there, so she’s easily favourite to win already.”

The series is due to start on January 5.
