ITV fans have been watching 78-year-old Arlene Phillips on their screens as she takes on various tasks and trials – but how much do fans truly know about her?
The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star has been in the public eye for many years, particularly after landing a stint as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing.
Over the years, Arlene has appeared on TV interviews and various different appearances to discuss her life, and one thing she hasn’t held back on is her steamy history.
From her “promiscuous youth” to having “lots of sex” to stay young, Daily Star looks into Arlene’s steamy confessions over the years.

In an interview with MailOnline in 2008, Arlene confessed she was quite easygoing in her youth and was so “promiscuous” she would pick up strangers on the street.
Reflecting on leaving Manchester to live in London in the ’70s, Arlene said: “It was a fine time to be an attractive women on the fringes of showbiz. God yes, brilliantly exciting.
“I spent a lot of the time on the King’s Road, getting picked up by whatever flash car came by.”

Arlene confessed that she had a fling with one of the models while her group, Hot Gossip, were recording a video for Village People.
She became pregnant following the romance, but she has vowed to never reveal his identity and said she hasn’t told him that he has a daughter.
Her daughter Alana, now 42, works as a makeup artist and has been sharing her support for her mum’s appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! ever since she stepped foot into the castle.
Arlene’s dance troupe, Hot Gossip, went their separate ways in 1986 after 12 years together.
‘Lots of sex’

Appearing on Loose Women in 2017, Arlene admitted that the secret behind her glamorous youthful looks is to have “lots of sex”.
Aged 74, Arlene appeared on the show and told the hosts that she has a constant stream of energy and said she swims, cycles, dance and much more to keep fit.
Saira Khan asked her at the time if she has sex, which saw Arlene respond: “Yes, lots of it. I never miss out on that.”
Her confession came shortly after Arlene spoke candidly about the fact that she had become pregnant at 47-years-old, adding that it was “a gift”.
However she said she was still “bouncing with life and energy” – and the star continues to do so, with her time on Strictly, and now I’m A Celeb, seeing her have an incredibly successful and energetic TV stint.

In a health chat with Daily Mail, Arlene, who is married to Angus Ion, once again shared her love of sex as she reminded readers how important it is.
She said the act is “good for the mind” and is “just like dancing” when it comes to how it makes you feel on the inside and in terms of your energy levels.
The star doesn’t hold back in regards to raving about the act – particularly when it comes to her health benefits.
Arlene isn’t one to shy away from her confessions and no-holds-barred attitude about sex, but she’s yet to spill any gossip on her steamy life on I’m A Celeb.
Still in the competition is Snoochie Shy, Naughty Boy, Louise Minchin, Matty Lee, Frankie Bridge, Arlene Phillips, David Ginola, Adam Woodyatt, Simon Gregson, Kadeena Cox and Danny Miller.
Richard Madeley unfortunately left the show the day prior after falling ill following his Bushtucker trial.
