Loose Women’s Jane Moore has become the ninth star to arrive at Brisbane Airport ahead of this year’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.
The mother of two, 62, split from her PR guru husband, Gary Farrow, three years ago after 20 years of marriage which has reportedly left her with a ‘hefty legal bill’.
Arriving Down Under, she said: ‘I think my worst fear will be boredom so I’m just going to chat to everybody and hopefully have some good chats. I know there’s lots of downtime.
When asked who she was there to represent, the journalist said: ‘I’m going to be flying the flag for Loose Women, The Sun, ITV documentaries, I’m a freelancer so I do a little bit of everything.
‘But I’ll probably just be like a weeping mess in the corner.’
