PRICE OF LOVE

Katie Price breaks silence on I’m A Celeb snub and says they should have signed her and Pete

KATIE Price has hit out at I’m A Celebrity… Legends of the Jungle after she was snubbed for the spin-off alongside ex Peter Andre.

Hosts Ant and Dec have revealed the line-up of returning stars heading to South Africa – and they promised the series will be “bigger and wilder than we could have hoped for”.

But Katie and Pete, who went down in reality show history when they fell in love in the jungle, were notably absent.

Their chemistry gripped I’m A Celeb fans in 2004 and they went on to tie the knot.

They also welcomed two children together, Junior, 17 and Princess, now 15.

Straight-talking Kate has now admitted that it came as a huge surprise when she saw Ant and Dec’s All Stars line-up.

She said in an Instagram Live Q&A: “A lot of people are saying, am I doing I’m A Celeb? No, but I’m interested in this show.

“Apparently they’re already out there filming with ‘the legends.’

“I don’t think they’re legends. Imagine, if they had me and Pete on it? Imagine.”

The likes of Phil Tufnell, 56, Georgia Toffolo, 28 and Joe Swash, 41, have jetted to South Africa for the spin-off which launches on ITV on Monday.

It comes as The Sun revealed a first look at the brand new camp in the Kruger National Park.

The space for the camp, trials and challenges is SIX times the size of ITV’s usual base on Australia’s Gold Coast.

As well as a dry and dusty camp based in the African bush, there is a savage-looking new shower with a Game of Thrones style backdrop instead of the iconic cliff waterfall known to viewers.

We also told how the trials in this series, which was prerecorded last year, include the highest ever challenge faced in I’m A Celebrity history.

I’m A Celebrity…South Africa begins next Monday April 24 at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
