Harry Potter legend takes brutal swipe at I’m A Celebrity after revealing she turned down ITV’s big money offer
HARRY Potter legend Miriam Margolyes took a brutal swipe at I’m A Celebrity after revealing that she turned down ITV’s big money offer to take part in the show.
The actress, 82, has said she wouldn’t appear in the jungle a number of times.
Over the years Miriam, who played Professor Pomona Sprout in the Harry Potter franchise, has appeared in a number of popular TV shows and films.
But it seems like she never want to dip her toes into the realm of reality television.
Miriam and Nick Grimshaw spoke about some of the most popular programmes in that genre, including Strictly Come Dancing and I’m A Celeb.
She said on Waitrose’s Dish podcast: “And they asked me to go in the jungle…”
Nick replied: “Was that a hard no?”
Miriam brutally replied: “I’ve got class, love. I’m not doing that.”
Graham Norton has also asked if she’d take part on his ITV show, to which Miriam replied: “Are you kidding? I’m not a whore!”
This year’s line-up consists of a politician, Made In Chelsea star and former jockey.
This Morning presenter Josie Gibson, Britney Spears‘ sister Jamie Lynn Spears, former politician Nigel Farage and former EastEnders actress Danielle Harold are taking part.
Made in Chelsea’s Sam Thompson, social media star Nella Rose, JLS legend Marvin Humes and MasterChef‘s Grace Dent are also part of the line-up.
First Dates favourite Fred Sirieix, Hollyoaks star Nick Pickard, jockey Frankie Dettori and boxer Tony Bellew finish the long list of famous faces taking part of I’m A Celeb 2023.
