Camilla Dallerup - I’m A Celebrity 2009
Sunday, 15th November 2009
Former Strictly Come Dancing star Camilla Dallerup is planning on using her skills on the dance floor to entertain her fellow camp mates.
The Danish born dance teacher and model - best known for her regular appearances as a professional dancer on the hit BBC ballroom dancing show - is even hoping she may be able to challenge the other celebrities to their own dancing competition.
She says: “I definitely think dancing may need to be brought to the camp-fire. I think that we will need some entertainment and exercise when we are out there, so as not get too bored. I just hope they are up for a dance.
“If the other team-mates are up for it, I think it could be great to have a competition. We could have a goal together, sort of a bit of team building.
“You do a lot of team building anyway using dance, and it could be quite fun to see if it could help, especially if we have a bad day or something, a bit of dancing could bring us back and have a laugh.”
Revealing costumes
Whilst often seen in revealing costumes, the ballroom star admits that it’s her love of food that may cause her problems in the jungle – if she has to go without, it will be more murder on the jungle floor than dance floor.
She adds: “The thing that people don’t know about me is that I love my food. I eat quite a lot…and I think that because I’m obviously used to running around or dancing; burning it off, I don’t know how I will feel having a small ration of food.
“I’m constantly hungry and I am someone who really likes my food, at least three times a day, three proper meals and having the same meal over and over again, that does really worry me."

“The thing is, if I get a bit hungry, I might get a bit snappy. I think that if you are not eating well or sleeping well, it can be difficult.
“I will miss all the lush things that one eats all day, every day, things like lattes, cappuccinos and chocolate bars and crisps and all the naughty stuff. The thought of not being able to have a cup of coffee is really freaking me out. It is so basic, it is ridiculous to say that, but I think I will miss my one latte a day.”
Cooking a storm
The chorographer maybe able to cook up a storm with her show stopping routines but Camilla admits that she lacks any skills in the kitchen.
Waltzing off with last year’s Strictly trophy with actor Tom Chambers and creating a sizzling rumba for the movie Everything To Dance For, Camilla is hoping that the duty of camp chef won’t fall at her feet.
She laughs: “I don’t want to be the cook. I will not be the cook. I cannot cook and I think that I need to apologise now, because I think I would burn all the food and that would mean no rations for that day.
“I might just have to ask if I can do the dishes, because seriously, the food could be in danger… I could burn salad.”
Just don’t let Gino see you burning any rice because that’s probably all you’ll be eating Camilla!
