Wednesday, 11 November 2009

Kim Woodburn was the first celebrity to arrive in Australia for the new series of 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here'.

The 67-year-old cleaning expert - best known for TV series 'How Clean Is Your House?' - landed in the Southern Hemisphere ahead of the gruelling jungle reality show's first episode on Sunday (15.11.09) and

revealed she has no plans to tidy up after her fellow contestants.

She quipped: "This is a holiday for me. I'm looking forward to experiencing Australia but I'm not going to need my Marigolds!"

As Kim relaxes ahead of the show, the rest of the contestants are travelling down under.

Former glamour model Katie Price - who appeared on the show in 2004 - left London's Heathrow airport last night (10.11.09) along with former 'Dynasty' star George Hamilton, 70.

Another former topless model, Sam Fox, will also reportedly take part in the programme, with producers expecting her to clash with Katie, 31.

Meanwhile, former 'EastEnders' actress Lucy Benjamin, 'Strictly Come Dancing's Camilla Dallerup and Misteeq singer Sabrina Washington are also said to be set to appear on the programme.

Male contestants reportedly include snooker star Jimmy White, footballer Colin Hendry and camp TV interior designers Justin Ryan and Colin McAllister.

Other celebrities rumoured to be participating include 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' actor Vinnie Jones, former Westlife star Brian McFadden, Amy Winehouse's father Mitch, outspoken actor Brian Blessed, 'Coronation Street's Bruce Jones and 'You've Been Framed' presenter Lisa Riley.

ITV have yet to reveal the official list of contestants for the show.
