Heart FM presenter Kelly says she also vowed never to take part in the ITV show, but says she changed her mind after running this year’s London Marathon.

SOAP star Lisa Riley has always turned down a jungle challenge... until now.

Lisa, who plays Mandy Dingle on ITV soap Emmerdale, says she has been asked to be in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! numerous times before.

She adds: “Now I've finally said ‘yes; the reason is I’m going to be 50 next year, it’s 30 years on and off playing Mandy Dingle in Emmerdale and 10 years of being sober.

“It’s like a big baguette where everything I wanted was in it, and it’s I'm A Celebrity’s 25th series anniversary too.”

But she admits it is going to be a tough ask coping with her phobias of rats and the dark. Lisa has tried to prepare herself for what lies ahead.

She says: “One of the prop girls at Emmerdale has two pet rats. We have been doing some ‘rat prep’

“She brought them in for me to try and hold them.

“I'm also scared of the dark and I have been practicing with my partner, Al, walking around our home in the dark.”
