Is TOWIE’s Jessica Wright heading to I’m a Celebrity Jungle to ‘show the real Jess’?

Jessica Wright has just dropped a clear hint that she will be taking part in ‘I’m a Celebrity 2016’.

The reality star could swap Essex for the jungle following her exit from TOWIE last year, following a successful six-year run on the hit series.

The 30-year-old has admitted that she is keen to follow in the footsteps of her brother Mark Wright and would love to prove her strength in the Bush Tucker Trials.

Jess told the Daily Star: “I love reality TV and I think Big Brother or I’m a Celeb would really give me the opportunity to show the real Jess.

“TOWIE was great but it was cut.”

We’re sure self-made fashionista would love to steal the crown of Queen of the Jungle from Vicky Pattison (last year’s winner), but she has revealed a BIG problem… She’s terrified of spiders.

Recalling that her former TOWIE co-star and pal Ferne McCann had to eat a LIVE spider in a gruelling trial last season, Jess explains: “I would be terrified of bugs in the jungle but I would never let my team down. The way I would react to that would be a real joke.”

“There was a spider in my apartment and I was totally scared. It took me an hour to get rid of it. But I love a challenge, so I got through it.”

Mark came second in series 11 of I’m a Celeb, Joey Essex came fourth in series 14 and Ferne came third last year.
