Sam Fox - I’m A Celebrity 2009
Sunday, 15th November 2009
Page 3 favourite Sam Fox is hoping her love of all things outdoors and a willingness to tackle the most challenging of physical trials will come in handy in the jungle.
She says: “I’m not scared of much. I love all the high-wire stuff. I’ve done a lot of boot camps, a lot of mountain climbing, coasteering and stuff, so I’m really into that kind of outdoor way of life.”
The former glamour model admits she’s not so brave, though, when it comes to mice, bugs, wasps, or creepy-crawlies of any description.
She adds: “When there’s a spider in the house or my cat brings a baby rat or something in it’s just the end of the world, I have to call somebody. Two women live in the house, so you can imagine – ‘Help’.
“I’m going to do my best to conquer my fears in the jungle. I’ll just keep saying to myself that nothing is going to kill me.
“I would love to be able to come home from the jungle and Myra, my partner, say to me: ‘Sam there’s a dead rat in the kitchen, or the biggest spider – can you get it?’ I’ll feel really proud of myself if I do.”
Coping with basic facilities in the jungle camp doesn’t worry her at all.
“My favourite holiday is once a year I go off with a backpack to the Far East and don’t book any hotels, just go to islands I fancy, get a map, stay in huts on the beach with no electricity, no hot water, and after a few days if I fancy a bit of five star treatment I get on a boat and go and find it.
“To be honest I really enjoy it because it’s totally different to what I do almost every day in my life, which is a lot of glamour, luxury, first class travel, any food I want.
“That’s part of being in show business and you can get spoilt but I will say it’s never gone to my head. I still feel like a working class girl from the East End.”
Rationing
She has been doing everything she can to prepare her body for camp rations.
“Obviously the food issue is going to be a problem but I’ve given up caffeine, not having any dairy. I’m also eating smaller portions so that my stomach stays small, not eating any wheat, and no sugar, because I’m not going to get any of that in the jungle.
“The low sugar thing is really bad, it can make people ratty, not able to sleep, all kinds of things, so I’ve been trying to get my body into that vibe.”

Sam loves working out and staying in shape and she plans to stick to her fitness regime in the jungle.
“I’ve been told the boredom is one of the big issues for a lot of people and I know what I like, I love to be doing things.
“I’ll be one of those people getting everybody up and doing something, whether its games, sport, getting people to do some sit-ups or boxing training, If people want to get fit they can do that with me. If you see me lifting logs I’ll be working on my biceps.
“Of course you’ll see me under the waterfall in my bikini. I’m really proud of my body. Because I do a lot of concerts I’m constantly going to the gym, I work out a lot and look after myself.”
