Denise Van Outen's daughter had to text her mum to check if she was taking part in this year's series of 'I'm A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!'
Denise Van Outen's daughter thought she might be doing I'm A Celebrity this year
The 49-year-old TV presenter admitted this year, more than ever, she was inundated with messages asking if she was heading to the Australian jungle for the ITV show - and even her own daughter Betsy, 13, quizzed her about the programme when she was at school.
During an episode of 'Steph's Packed Lunch', the host asked Denise how she felt about constantly being linked to the ITV programme.
Host Steph McGovern said: "Every year you are rumoured to be going in the jungle, aren’t you?"
Denise replied: "Every year! And my phone, I don't know why this year, more than ever, everybody was messaging me going, 'Are you going in the jungle?'
Even my own daughter! She was texting me at school.”
'Sunday Brunch' chef Simon Rimmer, who was also a guest on the Channel 4 show, is desperate to see the 49-year-old star on the programme, insisting she would be "fun".
He said: "I'd love to see you in there though, you'd be brilliant because you'd just be fun."
But Denise isn't too keen to take part in the dreaded Bushtucker Trials, especially the eating trials.
She said: "I have done a trial though, I did one because I did the spin-off show. And I'm very brave but - yeah, no I just haven't - I've had enough ... I was going to say I've had enough anus to eat!"
Steph - who has lived with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) since she was young - agreed with Denise, and said she would also refuse to appear on the show due to the trials.
She explained: "This is why I couldn't do it. Could you imagine me with my bowels? You wouldn't see me for the rest of the series because I'd be in that loo!"
Denise then joked: "Stay clear of the dunny!"
