Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh has finally broken her silence on why she's never appeared on the hit reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! - and her reasons might surprise you.
In an exclusive revelation, the 42-year-old singer and actress confessed that while she's been approached "multiple times" by producers, she has consistently turned down the opportunity to enter the Australian jungle.
The Real Reason Behind Her Decision
"It's just not my idea of fun," Walsh admitted candidly. "The whole concept of eating bugs and being surrounded by snakes and spiders genuinely terrifies me. I don't think I'd last five minutes!"
Unlike many celebrities who see the show as a career boost, Kimberley revealed she's content with her current career trajectory and family life with husband Justin Scott and their three children.
Cheryl's Influence and Friendship
The conversation naturally turned to her former Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl, with whom she maintains a close friendship. "People often ask if Cheryl and I would do it together," she shared. "But honestly, I don't think either of us are the jungle type. We've both built our careers on talent and hard work rather than reality TV stunts."
Walsh emphasised that their friendship has stood the test of time precisely because they respect each other's boundaries and career choices.
What's Next for the Star?
Rather than chasing jungle fame, Kimberley is focusing on her growing acting career and family commitments. "I'm selective about the projects I take on," she explained. "Being away from my children for that length of time just isn't something I'm willing to do, especially for something that would make me miserable."
Her honest take on celebrity culture and reality television offers a refreshing perspective in an industry where many would jump at the chance for the exposure.
