A former I’m ACelebrity contestant has expressed her disappointment at not being invited to participate in the upcoming All Stars series set in South Africa.
The special edition of the popular ITV reality show will reunite some of the most unforgettable campmates from past seasons next year, as they face new trials and challenges in the wilderness.

Speaking on behalf of WhichBingo, the mum-of-two expressed her frustration: “I’m furious I’m not in it. I’ve not been asked but I’d like to and I’m available.”, reports the Mirror.
The inaugural all-star series was won by Myleene Klass, and the roster of previous contestants returning for the second instalment has reportedly been unveiled.
Rumoured to be bracing themselves for another round of infamous trials and challenges are David Haye, Gemma Collins, Seann Walsh, Harry Redknapp, Scarlett Moffatt, Adam Thomas, Sir Mo Farah, Ashley Roberts, Sinitta, Craig Charles, Jimmy Bullard, and Beverley Callard.
Commenting on the speculated line-up, Nicola said: “I love I’m A Celebrity and Jimmy Bullard is my husband’s best friend so I’ve known him for years and he’s so funny.
“I think now because he’s more well known I think he’ll do much better. Everyone loves the GC [Gemma Collins] so let’s hope she stays longer this time and Scarlett Moffatt is lovely.”
