Stephanie Waring’s pals desperate for her to do I’m A Celebrity

Stephanie Waring’s friends are desperate to see her "scream for a couple of weeks" on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’
The ‘Hollyoaks’ actress has been heavily linked to the ITV reality show in the past, and she admits all of her loved ones are "dying" to see her head into the jungle because she’s "scared of everything".
She said: "Everyone who knows me is dying to see me in the jungle. I know why – it’s because I’m scared of everything and they want to watch me scream for a couple of weeks.
"I guess it would be a challenge to see if I could get through it and I do love Australia, so if they ever call, I’ll have to see if I feel brave enough to do it."
The 41-year-old soap star – who plays Cindy Cunningham – is "really busy" with other commitments, but heading Down Under is still something she’d like to "tick off the list" at some point in the future.
Asked if she was jealous of co-star Malique Thompson-Dwyer heading into the jungle last year, she told new! magazine: "Not at all.
"I was so busy at work and I’d just done ‘Dancing On Ice’. I’m really busy this year, but it’s something I would like to tick off the list one day."
And Stephanie hasn’t hidden her goal of heading Down Under for the reality show, previously describing the programme as "a real test of inner strength".
She said: "I’ve always wanted to do the jungle.
"There are no pressures from the outside world, no TVs and no phones and I think it’s a real test of inner strength which has always appealed to me."
