00:00Hi I'm Colleen Mooney. I'm Melvin O'Toole. I am GK Barrie. My name is Barry McGuigan.
00:05I'm Talisa. I'm Danny Jones. Hi my name is Oti Mabuse. I'm Merlin Household. I'm
00:10Jane Moore. I'm Dean McCulloch and I'm best known for waking up the nation every
00:14morning on BBC Radio 1. There'll be so many people watching right now that will
00:18have never seen my face so here it is. Surprise! You may know me from the band
00:24McFly but also I am a coach on The Voice. I'm a journalist and a regular on
00:29Loose Women. I'm best known as a professional dancer on Strictly Come
00:33Dancing and a judge on Dancing On Ice. I used to be in a band called N-Dubs and an
00:39X-Factor judge. I'm known for doing videos on TikTok, having my own podcast
00:44and being the youngest panelist on Loose Women. I'm best known for playing Tyrone
00:48Dobbs in Coronation Street. I've done a bit of everything really, books, Fashion
00:53Rangers, TV shows. I'm probably known for hosting the Live Lounge alongside my
00:58good mates Ricky and Charlie. I'm the former world featherweight boxing
01:03champion. I won the world title in front of 19 million people but I don't think I
01:08was as concerned as I am going into the jungle, that's for sure. I've always been
01:13terrified to do this show and I always said oh my god I'd never do it. I had so
01:17many fears about it. I've been camping once and I said never never ever again
01:23will I do anything outdoors ever again and here I am. Not really outdoorsy. Yeah
01:28I'm just blagging it though, literally blagging it. Going into the jungle,
01:32hopefully you don't go into panic mood. What if there is something living inside
01:38the dunny? Although to be honest with my nether regions descending I think
01:42they're gonna be a lot more frightened than I am. I told my mum the other day
01:46and she nearly started to cry. She was like oh my goodness all the snakes and
01:50she started praying at the end of the phone call conversation. I've stayed away
01:54from watching any of the clips of the stuff to try and not terrify myself. I
02:03wouldn't say that this is a dream come true it's more like my worst nightmare
02:08come true. I'm not good with heights, I'm not good with animals, I'm not good with
02:13actually anything that this show entails so really happy to be here. Spiders
02:18walking all over you, snakes hissing in your ear. Snakes are my biggest biggest fears
02:25like I have nightmares about snakes and spiders. Yeah one bit me once, not a
02:30massive fan of them. My go-to if there is a spider is burn the house down or put
02:35up a sale I don't really do much there. No we're not doing no cockroach ones
02:38please. Rats, I'm not a lover of rats. When I think of them they do give me shivers.
02:46Until you're in a coffin with 50 snakes you don't know how you're gonna react. In
02:51the business of boxing you have to face your fears you put your life on the line
02:55every time you step into the ring so surely eating kangaroos privates
03:00couldn't be that challenging. The idea of a trial I don't even think I'd be very
03:05good at it. I'm gonna be one of those people that screams and cries and mildly
03:08vomits. I definitely don't want to go back into camp and say I've got two
03:11stars but also if it wound people up then it might be quite good to do it for
03:15that reason. I wouldn't do that. I am so excited to get to know everyone in that
03:22jungle I want to know your birthplace how many GCSEs you've got. I'm so nosy and
03:27they can't escape me so they are forced to speak to me which is incredible news.
03:32I think I'm most nervous about gelling with everybody I think like deep down I
03:37just really want to be loved and I just really want people to like see me for me.
03:41I've never been exposed as much as this in all my life I think I'm up for a
03:46challenge for myself so I just thought I'd do it. I think I'm pretty good to live
03:52with like I well actually people wouldn't really know because I hate
03:55living with people. How you deal with different personalities that's going to
04:01be a challenge without a doubt and all our idiosyncrasies and annoyances will
04:06come out undoubtedly especially when you've been starved. As long as I'm fed
04:11everyone's fair and safe. You're just thinking twitching like this like can you just finish cooking the rice.
04:18You know I can feed the kids I can feed Wayne but I just feel like in camp I would like
04:24a chef to be in there. If anyone wants salmonella I am the woman for the job
04:29unless it's an air fryer I won't go near it. My preparation has gone like this I'm
04:34drinking more coffee because I'm gonna be missing out for a few weeks and I'm
04:37drinking more Guinness because I'm gonna be missing out for a couple of weeks but
04:40I bought some smaller clothes for when I get out so that'll be fun.
04:44What are my strengths? I'm very good at trivia so hopefully I might be good when
04:53kiosk Kev asks those like really strange questions. I used to say like I would
04:59never do this show and now look at me I'm sitting there talking to you guys this is wild.
05:05Anyone that goes in there is gonna come out the other side a new version of
05:09themselves I'm excited to meet the new version of me. Do I want to be queen of
05:13the jungle well I mean wouldn't harm would it? I am one that if I want to do
05:20something I like to do it properly so if I'm going in there I want to stay to the end.
05:25King of the jungle would literally top off my year honestly I'd love to be king of the jungle.
05:31Waking up in the jungle every morning like it makes my heart burst at the
05:37thought of it I mean ask me that in a couple of weeks when I'm like I'm getting out of here.
