Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain has issued a come-and-get-me plea to I’m A Celebrity producers.
The telly chef said that it is her dream reality TV role and is open to offers.
Nadiya, 37, gushed: “I wouldn’t say no to the jungle.

“When it comes to reality TV, I definitely wouldn’t do Strictly as I can’t dance and I’m not into all that close contact, but I don’t mind snakes.
“When I got my MBE, I said to my husband Abdal, ‘If I go on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! now will it say, Nadiya Hussain MBE on TV? I might just do it for that!'”

ITV viewers were left heartbroken earlier this year when Nadiya appeared on Kate Garraway’s Life Stories.
The television presenter welcomed the professional baker onto the show to discuss how her life has changed since she won the BBC One series in 2015.
Fans were shocked to hear how Nadiya struggled growing up in the heart of Luton after she revealed how she was bullied by two fellow students at school.

And the bullying didn’t just include horrible names being screamed across the playground as she explained how she was regularly hit and beaten in the bathroom.
One of the most painful memories included two boys repeatedly slamming her fingers in between a heavy fire door, and forcing her head into a toilet while they repeatedly flushed it.
And it got to a point where the star would actively avoid going to school by any means possible which left her in a dangerous position.

When she was in years five, the student leant about the meaning of the word suicide and naively thought this would be the best way to stop getting bullied at school.
She told viewers at home: “All I knew was that I didn’t want to go to school tomorrow, all I knew was that I didn’t want to be bullied tomorrow and so I thought, ‘Well if I die, I won’t get bullied’.”
Kate clarified: “So you were 10 years old thinking this was a way out, this was a way to stop the terror.”

Nadiya continued: “Yes, this was literally a few days after having my head flushed down the toilet.
“My family were sat downstairs and I remember I was sat with a glass of water and I had maybe five or six pills and I thought, ‘Oh, well I’m going to need some more water’.
“And that’s when I went downstairs and my dad pulled me over and said, ‘We have an announcement – your mum’s having a baby’.
“And this is how naive I was, I was like, ‘Oh, well I’ll do this once I’ve met the baby’ and I promised myself that I would end that suffering but I’d have to meet him first.”
She went on: “And that’s my brother Shaq who’s on the videos and I always say to him, ‘You don’t realise but you saved me’.”
