Candice Warner Facing my FEARS

THE CRICKET WAG HAS JUST ONE LAST THING TO PROVE IN THE JUNGLE

- Kylie Walters

Having spent years on the circuit as an ironwoman, there is no doubt that Candice Warner is a fierce competitor. Not only was she the youngest ever female in the sport to go professional at just 14, she’s claimed multiple state titles and Australian medals.

But when it comes to her stint in the jungle on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Candice insists she isn’t the one to beat. In fact, she’ll be happy just to make it through the first nights in camp.

“Honestly, I’m pretty fearful of a lot of things,” the 39-year-old admits to WHO with a laugh on the eve of her jetting off to South Africa. "I don't like snakes, I don't like bugs and I've never tried to go camping. If I'm honest, my fears probably do hold me back from trying a lot of new things."

Her time on SAS Australia in 2020 saw her dig deep and fight some of her demons, and she no longer feels she has anything to prove to herself or the public. But there are still some critics whose opinions hold plenty of sway; her three daughters with husband, cricketer David - Ivy, 9, Indi, 8, and little Isla, 4.
