TV presenter Dani Behr is relishing the personal challenge of entering the celebrity jungle, and hopes that the experience will help change her public persona.
"I don’t think the public really know me, compared to what I’m really like- I haven’t been on UK television for quite a while now. From a press standpoint I was seen as a party girl but actually I’m quite the opposite really."
"I've been away and off UK television for so long, so it’s probably the fastest way to come back. I took time off for kids and I was in the USA before that, so from a professional stance it’s probably the quickest route back into the public eye - might not be the most dignified way."
Dani also admits that whilst she fears the bushtucker trials she is looking forward to the challenge, even if she is a ‘five star hotel kind of girl’.
"I love my clean sheets, clean bathroom, [I’m a] five star hotel kind of girl, so for me, I've never been camping, I was never in the girl scouts. For me this is all rolled into one, so it’s a personal challenge more than anything. "
Dani is hoping that she may have a slight advantage over her fellow jungle buddies, having lived in Australia for two years she is used to the spiders.
Calling on her friend Myleene Klass and last year’s finalist ‘J’ Brown for valuable tips, Dani is also keen not to be the first celebrity voted out of the jungle.
A self-confessed natural leader in her day-to-day life, Dani reveals that she is prepared to take on all challenges in the jungle - even if that means eating kangaroo balls.
"Bushtucker trials, if I know the food is at stake, I’m going to want to eat, even if its Kangaroo balls!"
Dani admits that she is worried about her ‘basic female needs’ whilst living in the jungle but hopes her love of house work and tidying will give her a role within camp.
Although, she may have jumped out of a plane for charity once in the past, Dani confesses that this is something she hopes she will not have to repeat again whilst appearing on the show.
"I once jumped out of a plane at 20,000ft for charity so that’s probably the most crazy thing I’ve done and I wouldn’t say it was enjoyable but it was for a good cause, and I thought to myself that that is what it must feel like to commit suicide, because you are going against all your natural instincts that your body is saying; 'what the hell is going on?'. I was thinking ‘gosh I’m mad to get into this plane’, and thank god I was strapped to a very young strapping RAF jumper, otherwise I wouldn’t have trusted myself to have known what to pull."
