Gemma Collins is the latest star to leave the I'm A Celebrity... South Africa jungle, but fans may see her back on screen sooner than expected. The TOWIE legend departed the ITV reality show during Monday's episode, 12 years after her first stint in Australia.
Reflecting on her experience, Collins said: 'All good things have to come to an end, but all I can say is it has been so amazing being able to relive it again. It was great to see Craig [Charles] and Jimmy [Bullard] again, and to spend that time with them again has just been priceless.' She added that she felt 'proud' of herself for taking on challenges and gaining a confidence boost.
Since her exit, betting odds have slashed on Collins joining the next series of Celebrity Traitors. Ladbrokes cut her odds from 12/1 to 4/1, with spokesperson Nicola McGeady saying: 'Punters are clearly buying into the idea of Gemma Collins bringing full GC energy to Celebrity Traitors. Her odds have been cut dramatically, and at this rate she could be one of the standout names when the cast is revealed.'
The first series of Celebrity Traitors was a ratings hit for BBC One, with the final attracting 15.4 million viewers. Host Claudia Winkleman recently revealed that 'household names' have signed up for the second series, telling The One Show: 'The people who make it are extraordinary and they had to repeat the people twice to me because I was like, ‘Huh, are you joking? Come again.'
No official cast announcements have been made yet, but Collins is now a strong contender to appear in the Scottish castle when the show returns.
