It's official - X Factor contestant Jake Quickenden and former MP Edwina Currie are going into the jungle on I'm A Celebrity. Rumours had been growing in recent days that the pair might make an appearance on the ITV show and now it has been confirmed that the 26-year-old singer, known for flashing his abs, will be joining this year's line-up. “Things like this don’t happen to me. I am just a normal bloke. I said yes straight away. 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. I am going to take this opportunity with both hands. I actually haven’t stopped grinning since I got offered this. And I will look forward to getting my teeth into everything - but who knows what I am getting my teeth into?!” Jake admitted that he'll “probably go a bit mad on no food” but vowed not to complain while on the show. “I am not keen on rats but I don’t mind heights or water. I like physical challenges and I will give them a go. The eating trials are funny but I will do them. I am happy to do everything." Edwina has vowed to be a straight-talking around the campfire, bowing to tell her new friends exactly what she thinks of them. “If I hear someone talking complete bo**ocks, then I will probably say so. I am a Scouser and there is no such thing as a meek Scouser,” she said. “I will quite possibly tell them 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.” She predicted her biggest battle would be surviving without contact with her husband John Jones. “I am going to miss him the most. We have been married for 13 and a half years and since we have been together, we have hardly spent any time out of each other’s company. “He says he is proud of me but it will be hard. I am going to take a plaster cast of his hand with me!”
