Sorry, Strictly – we’ve got a new TV love in our lives. As the celebs are getting used to their new home and trying to figure out who'll be their mortal enemy or BFF for the next few weeks, we’re delving deep into the bush for the best behind-the- scenes gossip.
She had her fair share of trials and tribulations during her time on I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, but Becky Vardy is more than happy to chat to us about what goes on behind-the-scenes... as long as it’s from the comfort of her sofa!
Do you really not get any secret food supplies on I'm A Celebrity?
"You must be bloody joking. You literally have to be on your last legs to get anything. That was the bit that I was really quite stupidly naïve about."
Is the I'm A Celebrity camp area all real?
"If you’re stood where the phone box is and look straight out, it’s all fake. I lost count of how many cameras there are. Above your head, the cameras are on zipwires, so they follow you everywhere! It is crazy, it’s like Big Brother – you’re watched and listened to 24 hours a day."

Did you feel pressure to look sexy in the I'm A Celebrity shower?
"Nooo! We all got a bollocking, because we weren’t using the shower enough. It was too cold, it was peeing it down with rain constantly, and I literally got a tick in the back of my neck the first night I got in there. And there were leeches everywhere, so no one wanted to strip down into any form of swimwear."
What surprised you most about doing I'm A Celebrity?
"How edited it is, even down to us walking to the trials. We had to do that walk three or four times. Any time that you see people sat around there, usually someone’s been called into the Bush Telegraph and comes out with a bit of paper and says, 'We all need to discuss this topic'."
Are you excited to watch I'm A Celebrity at home this year?
"I’m really excited to be on the other end this time – to look at it from a completely different perspective. I think that for someone to do well on the show, they’ve got to have the experience of being on TV. I didn’t have that experience – I went in there thinking, 'Oh, I’ll just be normal myself and I’ll be absolutely fine'. I don’t think I’m made for reality TV – I’m a bit too honest."
