Chloe Burrows, Digi Mart USA News (Bicester, Oxfordshire, England): A Bicester TV star has revealed one of her biggest fears about entering the I’m A Celebrity jungle after touching down in Australia.
Chloe Burrows, a former Love Island contestant, is preparing to swap home comforts for camp life on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
After arriving in Australia, she admitted that heights are her biggest fear as she prepares to face the programme’s notoriously gruelling trials.
“When I’m at a rooftop bar, I never look over the edge,” she told The Sun. “And when I went up the Empire State Building, I almost cried.
I closed my eyes the whole time and I had to go back down.”
Creepy-crawlies might be a nightmare for some contestants, but Burrows appears surprisingly relaxed about a possible run-in with rats and snakes. Having grown up with hamsters, she says she can “get on board” with rats, while she is simply hoping any snakes she meets are “nice, friendly, lovely” and preferably not poisonous.
Burrows shot to fame on the seventh series of Love Island in 2021, reaching the final alongside Toby Aromolaran and finishing as runners-up. Before finding fame, the Bicester-born star studied marketing at the University of Liverpool and worked as a marketing executive for a financial services company.
She has since appeared on shows including Channel 4’s Scared of the Dark, E4’s Celebs Go Dating and Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. She also launched the Chloe Vs The World podcast and became a permanent presenter on KISS Breakfast alongside Tyler West earlier this year.
Burrows has revealed she is determined to avoid one famous jungle tradition by not packing bikinis, because she does not want to “do a Myleene Klass” in the show’s famous outdoor shower. The remark refers to one of the programme’s most memorable moments, when Myleene Klass wore a white bikini in the jungle shower during her appearance on the show.
Burrows will join Oxfordshire personality Joanna Page and footballer Wayne Rooney in the camp. According to a Daily Mail source, talks for their appearance on the ITV show were already well underway at that time.
The source said: “They had a catch-up about how they were both feeling about the show, and it will be great to watch their friendship grow even more once they’re in camp.”
Burrows also gave her opinion on who should replace Love Island host Maya Jama, who stepped down after three years. Tipping Olivia Attwood, she told The Sun: “That is crazy, I haven’t even presented a show.
I would love Liv Attwood to do it, I think she would be perfect.”
