I was a bit of a diva, a bit of a princess, very spoilt when I went in there before. But now I’ve gone through everything that I’ve been through, I think it’d be very different. At the end of the day, I’ve lived in my car, so why can’t I live in the jungle again?”Danniella would love to go on All Stars(Image: BBC)The actress first entered the Australian jungle back in 2003, during the third series of I’m A Celeb, where she became known for her fiery personality and diva-like behaviour.
