The 56-year-old actress - who is best known for her portrayal of Heather Trott on 'EastEnders' - is desperate to take part in the tough jungle challenge contest but claimed producers won't consider her for the show because she was a contestant on 'Celebrity Big Brother' back in 2012.

She said: "The jungle was my main thing I wanted to do but unfortunately if you've done 'Big Brother', you cannot go into the jungle."

And Cheryl is unlikely to convince producers to let her take part because she also shared her secret to avoid getting much screen time when she was holed up inside the famous Big Brother house.

Speaking on the 'Hundamental Guide To Life' podcast, she said: "If you sing a lot in the Big Brother house, they won't show much of you because they can't get the copyright for the songs.

"So I used to just sit and sing songs all the time so they couldn't really put me on the telly."

The 'Hard Cell' actress has been making money recently by offering lessons via Zoom for £60.

She recently said in a TikTok video: "You will have an hour with me where you can choose the subject/s that are of interest. It is important that these 1-2-1 sessions are tailor made just for you."

In the video, the actress can be seen showing a print out of topics available and amongst the topics are singing lessons, tips on "how to build a character" as well as lessons in "how a soap is put together."

The actress wrote "Let's talk 'EastEnders! How a soap is put together for your viewing and how I developed the character of Heather Trott. [I will answer] any questions you may have regarding my time at 'EastEnders' as well as any other roles on Stage/TV that I have portrayed / worked on."
