Lisa Riley, a household name in Emmerdale, revealed that she might be starting the I’m A Celebrity camp this winter and what she would like most from the ITV reality series.
Jungle fever is here as the latest batch of famous faces get ready to enter the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here camp. While ITV continues to keep its line-up close to its chest, fans are foraging around to find clues of who will be heading Down Under.
Latest speculation includes professional boxers Conor Benn and Tommy Fury. Denise van Outen and Kelly Brook’s names have also been thrown in the mix as anticipation grows.
With the show just weeks away, fans have also hotly tipped Geordie duo Ant and Dec to welcome actress Lisa Riley to the reality contest. And speaking exclusively to the Mirror with Buzz Bingo, the Emmerdale icon has teased they could be onto something.

She said, “I would have a ball in the jungle.” “Just because I adore people,” I enjoy listening to others’ opinions.
I enjoy finding out why people act the way they do. Would I consider the trials, then? Not likely. I’d consider who I’m going to be dating and how can we have a great time and laugh together.
The 49-year-old star continued, “A fantastic detox with a really nice bunch of people,” to compare any potential jungle adventure.
If the Mandy Dingle actress is indeed heading to Australia, it will be far from her first taste of reality television. After joining the Emmerdale cast in 1995, Lisa has also tried her luck on the Strictly dance floor.
In 2012, partnered with Robin Windsor, she respectably reached the semi-final stages. Two years later the duo were runners-up in a Christmas special.
At the age of 44, Robin sadly passed away in a London hotel room in February of that year. An inquest is scheduled for January 1st, but his cause of death has not yet been revealed.
Lisa described the dancer as her “best friend” and stated that she never anticipated his passing. She added that there was “just no way that he was going to be going first,” and that was open and honest.
Despite the fact that she is healthy, they would frequently joke about her gene pool. She said, “I just thought it wasn’t meant to happen in our lifetime when it flipped.” We don’t have this identity and live in this manner. It’s my job now to keep his legacy and his sunshine flowing, all I can say.
She has now urged the public to “keep talking,” regardless of their feelings. She praised her Emmerdale family for supporting her in doing that.
She continued, “I’m really lucky, at work I have the most incredible bosses.” We Dingle ladies have a very special place in our dressing room, so I have all of my sisters there. We always admonish one another when the playing field is down.
