Danniella Westbrook vows to do trials in knickers if given I'm A Celeb comeback

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Danniella Westbrook has said that she will do the dreaded Bushtucker Trials in her knickers if she's ever called back to the jungle - as she insisted that she would have been the perfect replacement for Olivia Attwood.

The former EastEnders actress, 49, took part in the iconic ITV series back in 2003 when Kerry Katona was named Queen of the jungle.

Danniella, who shot to fame playing Sam Mitchell on Albert Square, would be keen to head back into the jungle to experience the whirlwind all over again after admitting that she failed to make the most of it the first time around.

"I just love the show, I want them to put me back in. Last time, I was spoilt and I didn't make the most of it and I kick myself for it now," she told.

"But now, I've been through a lot, I've been homeless, been ill, hit rock bottom but now I'm back and I think I could take the crown and win it.

"I want to do all of the trials, I want to jump out of a plane, I want to do it all, I'd even do it in my knickers if I had to. I just want to go back in," the former soap star told Daily Star.

Danniella also insisted that she would have made the perfect replacement for Olivia Attwood this series after the Love Island star was forced to quit the show after just 24-hours due to health concerns.

The former EastEnders actress reckons that her big personality would have filled Olivia's shoes perfectly.

"Last time I was so wrapped up in myself, but if I went in this time, I'd want to get into other people's minds and hear about all their stories and ask them about their lives.

"I'm also a big character and can be very confrontational, so if they need a female replacement for Olivia Attwood - then put me in there because I won't be afraid to ask what everyone else at home is thinking," Danniella shared.

Danniella took part in what is considered as one of the most iconic I'm A Celebrity series' to date.

While 2003 was the year that Peter Andre and Katie Price found love in the jungle, it was the year that Atomic Kitten star Kerry made history as the first ever queen of the jungle.

A staggering fourteen million viewers tuned in to see her win the series.

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
