The BBC Sports presenter and former Lioness is set to jet out to Australia to take part in the show with claims that she isn’t shy of taking on a challenge is looking forward to taking part in the Bushtucker Trials.
Alex, 41, will be hoping to show viewers a new side to her with the challenges on the series. She joins an array of other rumoured campmates including Kelly Brook, 45, former EastEnders ‘ star Shona McGarty, 34, and chart-topping rapper Aitch, 25.
A source said: “Alex loves pushing herself out of her comfort zone and where better to do it than the jungle? The public know her as a sportswoman and a serious broadcaster so she thinks she can show people a side to her that they’ve never seen before.”
They continued to The Sun: “Alex is game for anything and is a tough cookie so she’s ready for anything that gets thrown at her – literally.” The news comes after earlier this week Christine McGuinness accidentally confirmed that she has signed up to take part in the show, just weeks after she quit Celebs Go Dating.
While the line-up is shrouded in secrecy until the official announcement, Christine, 37, admitted that she had finally committed to taking part after years of being asked by ITV bosses. She explained that she has a “f*** it” moment that made her take the plunge.
Christine, who is continuing to adjust to her new life after her split from husband Paddy McGuinness, 52, spoke at Monday’s Pride of Britain Awards where she confirmed thew news.
She also hinted that her fear of heights could mean that she will be a late addition to the camp so she doesn’t have to parachute in for the launch show.
She told The Daily Mail: “In the past I am never away from my children, I’d be frightened of the creepy crawlies, I have sensory issues I have never been outside Europe so flying over there would be quite a challenge.
“But I’ve got a bit of ‘f*** it’. Trying to get over to the jungle might be a bit of a mission, but this year is the year I have been most like ‘f*** it’ why not.”
Christine – who discovered her Autism and ADHD diagnosis in 2020 – also said that her autistic children are older now and more able to cope with her absence. She also still lives with Paddy so they will have him on hand to care for them while she is away.
Christine spoke on the red carpet about the epic decision and also discussed the other rumoured stars, including radio host Kelly, before she smiled and said that fans would find out about her own involvement in a “few weeks”.
Christine’s friend who joined her on the red carpet reprimanded her for blurting out her involvement as they exclaimed: “What did you just say?! You’re not even allowed to say that! Christine!”
