Edwina Currie joins I'm a Celebrity... I will quite possibly tell them [the other contestants] if they are annoying me too. Or you can pull a face or a gesture. It really does depend what they are doing. I will only get cross with those who don't try. If you sign up to do something like this show, then you have to do your best. If anyone is pulling a fast one or letting the side down, then they might get a tongue-lashing. On the other hand, if they are really upset, I hope I am sympathetic. Currie, who admits her biggest phobia is "anything that smells horrible," also revealed that she had been asked to appear on the first series of the show in 2002. It is nice to get asked again and I do hope I come out of it in tact. I am looking forward to making new friendships and I am hoping the experience won't be too horrible. One newspaper reported this week that Currie has been paid £110,000 to appear on the show. Even so, her decision to enter the jungle is somewhat surprising, given that she criticised Nadine Dorries, who is also a Conservative MP, for taking part in the 2012 series of I'm a Celebrity... "This programme is about ritual humiliation," Currie said when Dorries entered the jungle. I don't think she should be doing it. However, Currie believes that her own political past will help her. If there is any logic in politics, which there isn't, my political opponents will be voting for me to stay in and my political friends will be going 'no let's get her home as quick as we can'. The other newcomer to the jungle is former X Factor contestant Jake Quickenden. The 26-year-old, who describes this as "an amazing opportunity," was voted off the show last month for the second time, after he also appeared in 2012. I said yes [to appearing on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!] straight away," he said. It is such an amazing show. I used to watch it with my older brother and we both said we'd love to do it one day. It's a real adventure and it is going to be so much fun. Doing I'm a Celebrity... could open up so many different doors. Will Edwina Currie spice things up in the jungle?
