She's just finished third in the 20th anniversary special series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here - named I'm A Celebrity... South Africa - and appearing on Lorraine on Monday, May 15, Olympic javelin athlete Fatima Whitbread revealed her and new best pal, Carol Vorderman's, hopeful plans for the future - which include a travel series.
Speaking about how close the whole cast had become during their time in South Africa, Fatima, who first appeared on the Australian version of the programme in 2011, revealed one friendship in particular will stand the test of time and there's even dreams of having their own 'Thelma and Louise'-style show.
Talking to Lorraine Kelly, 63, Fatima said: "Me and Carol, we are besties. It was an amazing experience with Carol. Always up at 6 o clock in the morning, training together and we sort of connected from the word 'go'.

"And to be honest Lorraine, Carol and I would ideally love to do a programme together - two girls, going around in campervans, raking on challenges at our age. I mean, who wouldn't want to do that?"
Lorraine said: "Women in their prime, doing amazing things! Thelma and Louise-ing all over the globe."
"This is the whole thing. We could do extreme challenges together. Girl power," the 62-year-old javelin champion added, high-fiving Lorraine.
And it seems fans of the show and of the two women are keen for a show like this to be made.
One user took to Twitter to say: "#lorraine what a great way to wake up. Seeing Fatima Whitbread talking about being active and up for it at her age great inspiration! Would love to see @FatimaWh1tbread and @carolvorders touring, showing us all how to live and be happy x"
Another wrote: "Great interview & absolutely love your top Fatima - you really suit it! Well done on your South African adventure & hope to see you and @carolvorders taking on the world in the future!"
Fatima lost out on becoming the first I'm A Celebrity... Legend after Myleene Klass scooped the title in the final eating challenge against Jordan Banjo. Fatima, Jordan and Myleene became the final three contestants of the show - chosen by their fellow campmates - but in the penultimate challenge, Fatima fell down at the last hurdle.
In a bushtucker trial that saw the trio seated in a chair, with a transparent plastic sphere over their heads and their hands and feet inside boxes that slowly filled up with critters, each individual had a button to press when they believed the time of six minutes was up. Sadly, Fatima came last and said farewell to the jungle.
Lorraine airs weekdays on ITV1 and ITVX on 9am.
