She was previously announced as part of the line-up for the new series of Celebrity Ex On The Beach, but since shared that she had no idea what she was in for.

It turns out the reality TV legend thought the programme was 'faked' and that cast members would actually be staying in plush hotel rooms and then just reconvening in the villa for the cameras.

When Yazmin realised she would actually be living in a shared accommodation with her co-stars the Essex beauty had a meltdown and told producers she wanted to get on the first flight home.

The 29-year-old laughingly told the Mirror: " I thought right, I'd be in a lovely hotel, I thought it was all going to be fake and I'd go in for three or four hours and get to go off and chill for the rest of the day but it was not like that at all.

"I had to live there with everyone, sharing the shower, sharing the toilet.

"I mean I threatened to leave everyday. I said I'd fly economy I don't care, take it out the contract. I'd miss the business flight.

"But Joe [Garratt] bless him, he was like my best mate in there, he would calm me down everyday. He was like my in house therapist.

"He'd be like 'you'll be alright' and then about an hour later I'd be like 'I can't do it anymore'."

Yazmin also feared that she would have a breakdown when confronted with her TOWIE ex - but thankfully she doesn't feel that was the case.

She added: "I was more worried I would have a breakdown on there or something but overall it was a really good experience."
