The brand new I'm a Celebrity South Africa series has already unveiled the first half of its line-up, with TV presenter and maths whizz Carol Vorderman back in the jungle performing trials for the 'all-star' series. The north Wales star has opened up about the 'brutal' show to ITV's Lorraine and seemed to indicate she was unimpressed with fellow campmate, Janice Dickenson.
Chatting about the show and her podcast Perfect 10, Carol gushed about other returning campmates Helen Flanagan and Jordan Banjo, but brushed over the former model, telling the host: "Janice Dickinson, we'll not talk about her so much."
Earlier in the show, Carol had talked about her friend, the late Paul O'Grady, and told a brilliant story about the pair had partied with Dame Shirley Bassey, read more on that here.

On I'm A Celebrity South Africa, Carol added: "We filmed it all last autumn, top secret. And then I didn't know who else was going in Every one of the people who go in has been on it before. There are a number of previous kings and queens. There are head-to-head trials. It was brutal."
Speaking about her fellow campmates she also said: "I love Helen Flanagan she's my little meerkat, Jordan I'm his jungle mum. A lot of people I kind of knew before. And Fatima Whitbread - what a woman what a story."
