Loose Women star Lisa Riley has turned down I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here bosses SEVEN times
LOOSE Women’s Lisa Riley has revealed she’s been asked to appear on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here seven times.
The actress made the revelation on Tuesday’s episode of the show and admitted she’d never been tempted to say yes.
Speaking to her fellow Loose Women panellists, Janet Street Porter, Ruth Langsford and Colleen Nolan, Lisa laughed as she revealed there wasn’t a chance of her going down under.
If she had taken up ITV bosses on their offer, she’d have been joining Jordan Banjo, Wayne Bridge, Joel Dommett, Ola Jordan, Larry Lamb, Scarlett Moffatt, Sam Quek, Lisa Snowdon, Adam Thomas and Carol Vorderman.
When IAC bosses released the new, glossy shots of this year’s stars however, Homes Under the Hammer host Martin Roberts and broadcasting legend Danny Baker were missing – leading some to suspect they’ll be arriving in secret like Spencer Matthews, Ferne McCann and Vicky Pattison did last year.
The group are already wracked with nerves, with Ola Jordan saying: “I don’t know how I will cope.”
Others are taking the show in their stride, with Gogglebox’s Scarlett saying: “Eating testicles?
“I’ve been preparing by eating really chewy Scotch eggs and pretending they’re kangaroo balls.
“It will be weird seeing what the others on Gogglebox think about me.”
Ant and Dec have already landed in the jungle with their wives Lisa Armstrong and Ali Astall.
The danger of bush fires aren’t the only risk facing the celebs.
While ITV bosses pull out all the stops to make the camp as danger-free as possible, there’s one danger they might not be able to protect campmates from and incredibly, that’s the rice.
He said: “ITV bosses will be doing everything they can to ensure the campmates will be eating food that looks truly stomach-turning, but will provide no lasting damage.
“The funny thing is, camp staples like rice will probably be more dangerous than dishes served up during Bushtucker trials.
“With campmates likely to be hungry and tired, they must be careful how they store cooked rice. If it is left lying around in warm temperatures, spores of bacteria called Bacillus cereus will grow.
“The spores will quickly multiply and reheating won’t kill the bacteria off. What you’re left with is toxic rice that can serve up vomiting and diarrhoea.
“Celebrities could easily find themselves spending more time on the toilet that in the Bush telegraph.”
