With the new series of I'm a Celebrity kicking off on Sunday, ten Z-list celebs are donning their DVT stockings and jetting off down under as we type.

Apart from Simon Cowell's ex (and wearer of some of the most awful outfits in history) Sinitta.

See, she was snapped at a party in London rather than at an airport in Brisbane on Monday night. And, unless she was going to take part via videolink from Epping Forest, it seems the singer's forfeited her place because of an insect phobia.

Good job really, because those ants would have had a field day with that X Factor judge's houses leaf costume.

Not to worry, TOWIE's Mark Wright, McFly's Dougie and Jessica-Jane Clement will probably keep us amused. Oh, and Freddie Starr who's definitely eaten a whole lot worse than some cows balls.

Let the Bushtucker trials commence...
