OHMYGOSSIP — Jessica Plummer has “all the phobias”.
The 28-year-old actress has signed up for this year’s series of ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’ and she admits that the move has come as a huge surprise to people around her.
She said: “I have got all the phobias. When my friends see me too, they are going to say, ‘What the hell? This doesn’t make sense.'”
The former ‘EastEnders’ star hopes her competitive spirit and experience of camping will help her on the ITV show.
She explained: “Everyone I have told thinks I am mental. My family are all like ‘Jess seriously, you are such a scaredy cat and you are so precious about your luxuries, what are you signing up for?’
“But I have reminded them I did go camping as a kid and I know I have got it in me. I am quite competitive, I played sports as a kid and I would really beat myself up if I didn’t give it my all. Hopefully this will spur me on!”
Despite this, Jessica admitted she’s “dreading” the trials.
The actress – who played Chantelle Atkins in ‘EastEnders’ – shared: “I am dreading all of them. Are any of them nice? Are any better than another?
“I remember watching the show in the past and always looking forward to the eating trial. Whether I want to be part of it is a different matter!”
Jessica explained that in spite of her phobias, she was determined to accept the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
She said: “It is going to be a huge experience and a once in a lifetime opportunity. I am really excited about who I am going to be staying with and the whole aim is to work as a team to survive.”
‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’ launches on Virgin Media One on November 15.
