I’m A Celeb star lands major role in the King’s coronation – after eating bugs and cleaning the dunny in South Africa
I’M A Celeb’s stars might have been in hell starving in the South African bush – but one of them now has a key role in the King’s Coronation.
Singer and classical musician Myleene Klass, 45, arrived at Westminster Abbey today for rehearsals ahead of her TV appearance at the big bash.
Excited Myleene took to Instagram to share her news, and told fans: “Proud to be joining @itv’s official coverage of The King’s Coronation this Saturday as their Music Expert.
“I’ll be talking all things music from the ceremony. 8.30am-3pm Saturday 6th May.”
The Hear’Say singer entered the Abbey with a security guard and looked sensational in a multi-coloured two-piece suit.
She joked: “I was told to dress smart so I’ve gone very subtle.”
It’s a far cry from her I’m A Celeb life of bugs and foul toilets.
Mum-of-three Myleene can currently be seen on telly in the pre-recorded I’m A Celebrity South Africa, camping in a dry, dusty zone in the Kruger National Park.
Stars have been going to the toilet, also known as the dunny, out in the open in the savage camp.
To protect the celebs’ privacy, Myleene’s co-stars Carol Vorderman, Amir Khan and Jordan Banjo kindly put a sheet around it last week.
Fans were shocked by the new open air dunny with one saying: “There is no way I’d use the toilet if people could see me!”
While another commented: “noooo that toilet is horrible WHAT!”
This viewer said: “I thought they expected them to go to the loo with no cover ”
The new toilet is part of the programme’s grimmest camp ever, where the long drop is based a lot closer to the sleeping and living quarters than usual.
An ITV source said: “We’re not just dealing with spiders and snakes here, there are real, man-eating wild animals in South Africa so the dunny is much closer to camp than in Australia.
“We just couldn’t have the A-listers roaming the dangerous bush in the night.
“So it’s a lot closer to camp which has its highs and lows – there is zero privacy, it’s totally open to the elements and for the women especially, left their modesty at risk.”
The celebrities are stranded in isolation, surrounded by wild animals some five miles away from the nearest road and 40 minutes drive from a village.
A show source previously told us: “Everything is bigger, scarier and bolder.
“If the celebrities think they know what to expect then they are wrong.
“The only thing that they can count on is the diet of rice and beans!”
An intimidating, dark tunnel of trees leads into camp with just a string of lamps for light.
