EastEnders legend Cheryl Fergison, 57, pleads her case to appear on a future I’m A Celebrity series.
The soap star, who played market-stall favourite Heather Trott in the BBC soap, took to her Instagram, where she explained why she’d be a “great contestant.”
Cheryl begged ITV bosses for a possible cameo after revealing that it’s on her bucket list to participate in the programme as she’s a right “screamer”.

Cheryl played the role of Heather Trott in BBC’s EastEnders from 2007 until 2012 when her character passed away.
Her exit came when she was killed off after being hit with a photo frame by Ben Mitchell, who actor Joshua Pascoe then portrayed.
Since leaving the soap, the mum-of-one keeps fans updated with career announcements on Instagram.
