Carol Vorderman says she 'christened' her I'm A Celeb bed and shares warning to co-stars

Carol Vorderman had admitted she's "christened" her bed in the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! South Africa camp.

The Countdown legend, 62, returned to the gruelling ITV show for the spin-off version of the show, filmed in South Africa a few months back.

While in camp, the TV star came up with a theory that sleeping in a particular bed in the camp seals your fate on the programme and even nicknamed one particular bed in camp.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Carol revealed: "Early on I started christening the bed nearest the ‘fairy tunnel’, the ‘Bed Of Doom’. Because, if you think about it, Shaun was in that bed, Shaun went.

"Then it was Amir [who] took it. Amir went home. Andy took it, Andy’s gone home. Joe took it, Joe’s gone home. It is… the Bed… Of… Doom…."

She then claimed she "christened" her bed in the camp.

Elsewhere on the show Carol and fellow campmate Myleene Klass revealed they ditched the scales.

In one scene, the Countdown icon was seen asking Myleene if she thought she'd lost weight and Carol revealed she threw her bathroom scales away in 1999.

"Ive not known my weight this century," she said proudly.

Myleene agreed, saying she also doesn't own scales, asking: "Why would you let your children measure their contribution and value by what's on the scale?"

As her campmate claimed magazines teach women to 'look at themselves critically', Carol agreed, saying "95% of women" felt that way.

Myleene continued: "I remember a magazine drew a circle around my ribcage and my cellulite and put it on the cover.

"Body positivity is so important. I want my girls to feel empowered by what their abilities are and what they have to say for themselves."

Away from the jungle, The Only Way Is Essex star Pete Wicks revealed he was 'over the moon' that Carol discovered he wanted to be one of her 'special friends'.

The 62-year-old was previously asked if she would be interested in getting to know 35-year-old Pete, which left the former Countdown star speechless.

Carol has been honest about having multiple men in her life and claims it works out well and isn't a jealous person.

Speaking on his podcast with Sam Thompson, Staying Relevant, Pete said: "There’s been a lot of hoopla about me and a potential new romance with Carol Vorderman – f**king everywhere.

"So last week on the podcast just as we were leaving, Sam called everyone back in for the Carol Vorderman saga, which I then re-tweeted – me and Carol had a bit of back and fourth on Instagram, which I was very happy about.

"It then went into the press, all the press picked it up."

Pete added: "It went everywhere, where it was 'Carol Vorderman linked with Pete Wicks', I’ve been linked with a lot of women but none as fabulous as Carol Vorderman, so I am over the moon."
