I'm a Celebrity's Snoochie Shy 'so excited' after bagging new BBC presenting role

I'm A Celeb contestant Snoochie Shy is set to host a new BBC Three show, all about go-getters fighting for their dream jobs.

The 29-year-old Radio 1Xtra presenter, who appeared on last year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! will be hosting The Career Games, a six- parter series.

In each episode, three candidates will compete against each other in a high pressure, supersized job interview for the role of their dreams. That could be high end estate agent, football coach, interior designer or radio DJ.

Challenges will be drawn up and overseen by their potential future bosses, with each episode pushing the candidates to their limits, the BBC says.

Speaking about her new job, Snoochie Shy, real name Cheyenne David, said: “So excited to be solo hosting my first BBC TV show and it being The Career Games makes it even better!!!

"This is gonna be such a great show, the candidates are all amazing and I’m having the most fun presenting it! Let’s get dishing out some sick jobs!”

Snoochie, a moniker she was given by her nan as a child, will also be appearing on BBC Three's dating show, Hot Property, as well as Glow UP Does Red Nose Day.

She was the third contestant to leave the most recent series of I'm A Celeb, which took place in a Welsh castle rather than the Australian outback, due to the pandemic.

It a might have been a short time, but the DJ told presenters Ant and Dec she had the some of the "best times" in the camp, "from twerking, dancing, and the entertainment show we did with Frankie", referring to fellow contestant and The Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge.

The entertainer landed her Radio 1Xtra gig in 2019, but she has also live-hosted on red carpets such as the MOBO awards and been a presenter for fashion brand Missguided.

She appeared on series three of Celebrity Gogglebox with Jeremy Vine, and is married to Michael Dapaah, a British actor and rapper, best known for portraying the fictional rapper Big Shaq.

The Career Games is being filmed now across the UK, with the release date yet to be announced.

BBC Three, which focuses on shows for young viewers, became an online-only channel in 2016, but bosses bought it back to television screens this month, with shows such as RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World and Hungry for It, presented by Stacey Dooley.
