ITV I'm A Celeb's Scarlette Douglas reveals career plans after jungle on Lorraine

ITV I'm A Celeb star Scarlette Douglas has detailed her career plans after returning from the Australian jungle.

The A Place In The Sun presenter, 35, took part in this year's edition of the reality TV show. She was the second contestant to be eliminated from the jungle.

Scarlette joined Lorraine Kelly on her daytime TV show on Monday (December 5) to talk about her time down under and what she wants to do next. She said that she joined I'm A Celeb so that people could see her and who she really is.

"I think I did that, so I'm happy," Scarlette told Lorraine. She also opened up about her budding friendship with fellow campmate and comedian Babatunde Aleshe - although he didn't find her jokes in the jungle amusing.

Scarlette went on to spill the beans about the I'm A Celeb Whatsapp group - which she says former health secretary Matt Hancock isn't a part of. But eventually the chat turned to the future and Scarlette's dreams of returning to the stage.

She told Lorraine: "I think people know me for my property background but I love entertainment. I used to do musical theatre so I sing and I dance..." Scarlette added: "I would love to go back to it. I did musicals for eight years and I did lots of stuff in town, in the West End, in the Olivier Theatre and the London Palladium.

"I just miss that, I miss the audience, that life that you get from it, that feeling, that buzz, the hype...So yeah, absolutely, I'd go back to that."

She also revealed that another ambition of hers was to work on documentaries - and to set an example for other young women.
