American TV personality, Caitlyn Jenner, outlines why she has taken on the challenge of TV’s toughest Entertainment show, I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! - and she predicts it will be tough.
“I did the US version of this and it was a very interesting experience last time I did it,” explains the star.
“Being in the Jungle is certainly not easy and yes, it is totally back to basics but I thought this would be a great opportunity to leave everything behind for three weeks. Last time, it was almost like a cleansing of the soul!”
Readily admitting she will find dealing with her fellow contestants the toughest part of doing I’m A Celebrity, she thinks her second time in camp will be a very
different experience.
“Dealing with other people is by far the hardest thing,” she explains.
“It’s much more difficult than dealing with the most poisonous snakes in the world. That’s easy - just stay away from them!”
“You can’t get away from the other people and it will be a very different experience for me. Last time, I did it with a bunch of people from the States who I knew of. This time it’s a bunch of people from the UK who I potentially won’t know. But I love going over to the UK, I love the British people and I am looking forward to making some new friends, new allies and getting
through it all.”
Eating rice and beans is not, however, an issue for Caitlyn who describes herself as the type of person who is happy to muck in with all of the camp chores. She also promises to be on hand to solve any arguments.
“I am definitely a peace maker and I do think I bring people together. I am also
very handy making things and I am good at boiling water. I will also keep the fire going and when it starts raining, I will make little streams to go outside the camp rather than through it!’
Asked if she is scared of heights or any animals and Caitlyn reveals she doesn’t
have major phobias but she does concede the idea of insects crawling all over her whilst sleeping ‘grosses her out’.
Caitlyn has ten children, including Kylie and Kendall Jenner. She is also related to Kim Kardashian who is the daughter of Caitlyn’s former wife, Kris. So what does her famous family think about Caitlyn going on I’m a Celebrity?
Laughing, she says they did ask her why she wanted to do it but stresses:
“I said, you know what, I need a break, I like challenges.”
To be crowned ‘Queen of the Jungle’, adds Caitlyn, would be a big validation that she had made the right decision to do I’m a Celebrity again.
“I hope the UK loves me!” she says.
“I will go into the Jungle with a good attitude and a good sense of humour.”
