ITV bosses have reportedly been asking one talk show legend to sign up for I’m A Celebrity for years.
Despite the gruelling ITV reality show being one of the biggest shows of television, Vanessa Feltz has revealed that she won’t be heading Down Under anytime soon.
With a career spanning over four decades, it’s no wonder producers are keen to sign up the 64-year-old presenter but she won’t be swapping her life of luxury like Caitlyn Jenner, Coleen Rooney and Noel Edmonds – no matter how much they offer her.
When asked if ITV have been knocking on her door this year, Vanessa confirmed: “Not yet, but they usually are in touch but I have not changed my mind. I would be so appalling at it.”
“Every single thing they would ask me to do, I would be terrible. I think I’d be so terrible, it wouldn’t even be funny. I don’t think people would like it.
“I’d be bored, I’d be fed up, I wouldn’t like being hungry, I wouldn’t like being eaten by mosquitoes, I wouldn’t like the rats, the snakes and I wouldn’t like some horrible rat scuttling over my face.”
Vanessa continued on behalf of BetWright Casino: “I don’t care about seeing Australia or the jungle, I couldn’t care less and I like being where my family are in North West London or in East Cork. So, no, I’m not going to say yes but the funny thing is, every time I say no, they think I’m doing it for the money.
“Every time I say no, they offer me more money but I really mean no. I’m not bargaining. I do not want to go and that’s it. I think it would be absolutely terrible. I think I’d just look like an absolute cretinous idiot.”
Vanessa may not be tempted to take on the dreadful Bushtucker Trials but she is keen to face the roundtables on Celebrity Traitors but she says there’s one problem.
“I wouldn’t mind having a bash at The Traitors but I’m not sure I’d be any good at that because I think I’m so fluent and so many words come tumbling out of my mouth at all times, she explained.
“I never seem to stop for breath and I’m never fishing around for the next word. The vocabulary just runs and runs and I think people never believe a word I say.
“Years ago I did a show called Call My Bluff, where they had to guess are you lying or are you telling the truth?. They kept thinking I was lying when I wasn’t at all.
“So I think if I was on Traitors, people would just think I was a Traitor straight away and I’d be the first person, like Paloma Faith, on the bus going home within ten and a half seconds.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is due to return to ITV1 and ITVX later this year

Venezuela’s aging oil port terminals are essentially imposing export caps on the country’s resurgent crude production, with tankers having to wait up to 30 days to load because of infrastructure in disrepair, power outages, and quality issues, Reuters reported this week, citing shipping data, sources, and documents.
