Woah, woah, woah! Has Gemma Collins completely forgotten about her I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! experience? She’s reportedly entering the Celebrity Big Brother house this summer despite her disastrous time trapped in the jungle.

The Only Way Is Essex star struggled during her time on the ITV reality show and quit just three days in after self-diagnosing malaria (which she completely misdiagnosed, by the way).

Gemma is apparently determined to lock herself in Britain's most famous house in a bid to make a better impression on the Channel 5 show viewers, and prove the breakdown that led to her leaving I’m A Celeb is well in the past.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: “This is Gemma’s chance to put the dramas of I’m A Celebrity behind her and show people what she’s really capable of.

“Going into the jungle, Gemma wasn’t in the right state of mind. She had so much going on in her life and it all just got too much for her.

“But this time round everything is different. She’s happy and feels ready to get stuck into CBB. She wants the public to see the real her.”

Gemma was seen sobbing on screen during her time in the jungle last November after a series of rows with her ex before she arrived in Australia.

Better luck this time, Gemma!

"People are going to see the real bare, stripped-back me. I might just become Bear Grylls, you never know."We never did get to see Gemma chowing down on a raw snake, drinking her own urine or sleeping inside a rancid camel (yep, Bear Grylls has seriously done all of those things).

"Yeah alright, I've cracked at the first hurdle. It's like the turtle and the slug or the horse and the rabbit or something, I can't remember what it is."Who could forget the age-old story of the turtle and the slug?

"If they don’t give us a treat I’m going to kill myself.”Well, the suicide threats didn’t work, but outside of the jungle is a plentiful world of treats just waiting for Gem.

"I feel like I’ve got malaria. My poo is bright fluorescent yellow, we’ve got to get out of here today.”Symptoms of malaria do not include yellow poo, constant whinging or an Essex accent, sorry Gem.

"Seriously, I'd give anything for a bit of dried fruit. Dried fruit! I'm not even asking for a ham sandwich. You know what I mean? With a packet of Quavers on the side."We’re not sure dried fruit is the best remedy for fluorescent yellow diarrhea Gem, maybe just stick to dry bread and water until the ‘malaria’ clears up.

"People that murder get treated better than this, and that's the truth. Even a murderer gets fed three times a day."Murderers also don’t get paid at least £25,000 to go on a jolly holiday to Australia either. They also tend not to have strops and quit their sentences, but who cares about the details….
