Gillian McKeith said she is petrified of another stint on I’m a Celebrity as she is set to make her arrival to the South African series on Tuesday night.
On the teaser for Tuesday's episode, the 63-year-old said she thinks Helen Flanagan – who was known for notoriously quitting trials in the 2012 series – “will probably understand my phobias and fears”.
However, Gillian might find it hard to create a bond with her 2010 campmate Shaun Ryder, writes The Mirror.
They really clashed and Shaun, 60, told this year's celebrities the pair had beef, saying “last time I wanted to kill her”, with him previously saying: "If Gillian was my wife, she would be in pieces in a plastic bag, deep in a hole in the back garden."
Speaking in the bush telegraph, Shaun said: “Gillian arrived in a box, she should have stayed in a box folks.”
Fans will be keen to see if a row between the pair flares up again as ITV bosses put them together for the Chest Challenge game, where they will try to win a treat for camp.
All will be revealed on Tuesday night's episode.
The TV health and nutritionist first appeared on the ITV series 12 years ago where she became known for fainting which she was accused of doing to avoid trials, a claim which she denies.
Gillian's arrival brings the current celeb total to 10.
Gillian, 63, said: “It’s going to be more terrifying this time because back then, I didn’t know what to expect but this time I can’t use that as an excuse.
"What I felt before feels 1,000 times worse now and all of it freaks me out but I feel I’ve got a calling to represent all the scaredy cats in Britain – and that is the reason why I’ve said yes.”
I’m A Celebrity South Africa continues on ITV and ITVX tomorrow night at 9pm.
