VANESSA Feltz has revealed why she has turned down I’m A Celebrity SEVEN times – and even said she’d rather earn money as a sex worker.
TV legend Vanessa, 63, who hosts her own self-titled daytime show on Channel 5, has spilled the beans on why she keeps saying “no” to the jungle.

The TV presenter, who recently shed two stone after her painful break-up Ben Ofoedu, has revealed why you’ll never find her as part of the line-up of I’m A Celebrity.
The show, which is hosted by Ant and Dec, returns this winter with a new batch of stars all braving the Aussie jungle.
But one thing is for sure, you won’t find Vanessa in the famous camp Down Under.
“I just don’t want to do it,” she exclusively told The Sun.
“I’d rather be a prostitute. I think I’d be better at selling sex with my face and all that.”
Continuing, Vanessa said: “So I just hate it so much. I’d really hate it, hate it.
“I just don’t want to do it, but they never think that I really mean it.
“They always think that I must want more money and I just don’t, I don’t want to do it.
“That’s how I feel about that. Seven times.
“The answer is no, thank you. I just don’t want to do it, I’m telling the truth.”
Fans will be sad to hear they will never see Vanessa on I’m A Celebrity as she previously brought one of the most memorable moments in reality TV.
In 2001, she famously appeared on the very first Celebrity Big Brother.
After being put up for the public vote, Vanessa let her rebel side run free and stole the chalk used for the shopping board and began frantically writing on the kitchen table.
Fellow housemates Jack Dee and Claire Sweeney claimed to be worried about her mental stability, but Vanessa has since revealed just was just “bored” of her surroundings.
“It was a blinding moment when I suddenly realised that there was no Big Brother,” she previously said. “It was just a researcher.”
“I suddenly thought I’m not going to give back the chalk we had for the shopping list.”
Vanessa has since returned for the spin-off shows and one-off appearances as part of tasks.
