Model and singer Nadia Forde is set to become the very first Irishwoman in the jungle.
ITV’s hit reality television show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here returns to our screen on November 16th and Forde is the latest name to be rumoured in the line-up.
Forde, who is currently residing in London after launching a music career earlier in the year, is said to have flown to Australia.
Forde starred in reality TV3 show ‘Nadia Goes To Hollywood’.
An ITV source told the Irish Independent that the 25-year-old is one of 12 contestants who will compete for three weeks to be crowned King or Queen of the jungle.
“Nadia met with TV bosses at the beginning of the year,” the source revealed.
Forde, who has previously been linked with Irish rugby player Luke Fitzgerald and is rumoured to have had a fling with golfing ace Rory McIlroy, has apparently vouched not to bring up either sportsmen.
“She ensured that it would be written into her contract that she would not be expected to talk about Rory”, the source continued.
“That’s definitely off the cards. She has never gone into the details of what happened with Rory – and she’s not about to start now.
“They are still friends and she is not going to sell her principles short to further her career when she can get along quite well on her own bat”.
TV presenter Melanie Sykes, reality TV star Gemma Collins and former X Factor contestant Jake Quickenden are other names linked to this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.
According to reports, show bosses are making some changes to the line-up before it kicks off next week.
