Scarlette Douglas has revealed who her ‘nightmare’ campmate would be as she heads into the jungle – and it’s none other than Kanye West, who has sparked a lot of controversy in recent weeks.
The former A Place In The Sun presenter is set to join the likes of Boy George, Love Island’s Olivia Attwood and Mike Tindall as a new batch of celebs head into the jungle for some grim bushtucker trials.
And while she previously admitted she’d be keen for Mo Gilligan to join, calling him her ‘dream’ campmate, Scarlette told Metro.co.uk when asked who her ‘nightmare’ campmate would be: ‘Kanye West, we’ll leave that there.’
Kanye, who has legally changed his name to Ye, has faced several brands and companies ending their partnerships with him, and him dropping off the Forbes billionaire list amid controversial remarks. Meanwhile, Madame Tussauds even removed its wax figure of Kanye from public view.
The rapper had been ranked earlier this year at number 1,513 on Forbes’ rich list, valued at two billion dollars (£1.5 billion) due to his fashion brands and deal with Adidas.
Elsewhere, Scarlette told us about how she’ll be fitting in with her other campmates, which include Loose Women’s Charlene White and Lioness Jill Scott.
‘I’m very vocal,’ she said, before adding: ‘but not rude at all.’
‘I like to explain things to people because we all have blind spots.’
Ahead of heading Down Under, the TV personality explained in a statement that throughout her life, ‘for whatever reason people have doubted me’, as she stressed how big a moment it would be if she were crowned Queen of the Jungle.
‘This programme is always something I have wanted to do as I like to test myself. It’s the cherry on the icing on the cake,’ she said.
Aside from labelling Kanye as her ‘nightmare’ campmate, Scarlette also admitted she doesn’t get on well with ‘condescending people,’ and shared her concerns about being ‘a bit too hyper for everybody.’
