The 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' finalists - who struck up a close bond while competing in the jungle-based show last year - will travel from Sorrento to Naples as part of a "foodie" road trip for a new series on the popular mid-morning programme.

Ferne, 25, said of their new gig: "I'm so excited about doing this with Vicky, out of everyone in the jungle, she's the one that I've kept in touch with the most. It's just going to be an amazing trip and I'm such a foodie too so I feel like you should go to Italy to eat - so they'll be no diet involved!

"I'm designated driver because Vicky doesn't drive! I've got my bus license so I'm pretty sure I'll be OK along those winding roads and I'm always up for a challenge so she'll be in safe hands."

The pair will take in the stunning sights of Italy, get stuck in to local culture and receive a masterclass on how to make the perfect pizza.

Vicky, 28, said: "It's the dream to work with Ferne on this road trip for 'This Morning', we have been out socially since the jungle but to join forces again for work is more than we could ask for. I love her to bits and it's going to be such a laugh! ... I cannot wait to see the Amalfi Coast, it's not somewhere I have been before and it's meant to be beautiful... plus I heard that George Clooney lives round there so we will definitely be giving him a knock!"

The travel series will go into production later this month and will hit screens on the weekday show later on in the year.
