Charlene White has been getting I'm A Celebrity advice from her Loose Women co-star Linda Robson.
The ITV news presenter has revealed what advice her co-stars have been giving to her ahead of the launch of the ITV show, which begins on Sunday evening. Charlene is joining nine other celebrities in the Australian jungle.
Ahead of the new series, she has revealed just what advice her co-stars had been giving her, and admitted some of them would be likely to vote her in for the trials. However, she insisted one of the panellists would be kind to her and do all they could to make sure she wasn't subjected to the worst of the Bushtucker trials.
Asked by The Mirror if any other celebrities had given her some advice, she said: "Yes, Linda Robson suggested that I try and sneak sleeping pills into my bra. Allegedly, she did that when she did this.
"But I will not - and I've got a producer staring at me - I definitely will not be doing that."
Charlene is a staple on Loose Women lunchtimes, and she has admitted some of them will be desperate to see her doing the trials.
"You know what, there's a chance that they would vote for me to do it. I find it really funny. Like I think Coleen [Nolan] would find it really funny, Denise [Welch] would definitely find it really funny. I think Nadia definitely wouldn’t," she revealed.
"Nadia [Sawalha] would be very much like no, we can't put her through that. Janet [Street Porter] probably would make me to do it. So I think she'd absolutely kill herself laughing. So be it'd be less about trying to talk to me and more about them thinking it well, you know, it would absolutely crack them up that evening."
Being on the ITV show panel, Charlene feels she is "quite outspoken by nature" - and hasn't ruled out telling off any of the celebrities.
"I'm quite outspoken by nature. And I think for a harmonious living experience. I think you've got to be honest with each other about stuff otherwise the whole thing doesn't really work," she shared ahead of her jungle stint.
"I'm not saying that I'm going to be yelling at people and interrogating them or anything like that but I have a genuine love of sitting and talking to people, that's why I do the jobs that I do."
She added: "Just because somebody's a celebrity doesn't mean that they can't get a telling off from me."
*I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here returns to ITV on Sunday at 9pm.
