I've just heard that Katie Price's mate, Michelle Heaton, is flying to Australia today to add a sprinkle of glamour to the 'I'm A Celebrity...' camp. Her arrival, just in time for Sunday's show, has added more fuel to the camp fire that Katie will be joining the latest batch of Z-listers slumming it in the Aussie jungle.
A close pal of Michelle's told me: 'She's flying in to lend support to Katie. Michelle's already been there and done all that so she knows how reality TV can take it's toll emotionally after her stint on Celebrity Big Brother and is planning on making sure she's there for Katie.'
The pal revealed Michelle, 29, won't be roughing it in the jungle though, she's joining Jack Osbourne and more top secret celebs on the panel for 'I'm A Celeb's' ITV2 spin-off show offering her views and opinions on the contestants and stomach-churning tasks... and defending her best friend Katie!
'Katie knows there will be people hoping she has a tough time. Let's not forget the jungle holds a special place in her heart - it's where she met Pete, so it will be emotional going back without him,' adds the pal.
'We're all expecting Katie to have to do more than her fair share of this years tasks,' added my jungle insider. 'She's a tough cookie though and loved the challenges last time so she'll take it on the chin and enjoy it!'
Michelle's slimmed down and lost more than two stone after embarking on a strict no-carb diet and she's in the gym every morning at 7am. My spy tells me she can't wait to slip on her bikini and flaunt her amazing beach body with Katie, afterall isn't 'I'm A Celeb' just a free jolly!
What do you think about Katie Price reportedly going back to the jungle, is it a good idea? Let me know by leaving a comment below...
