I found this story from Ananova..

Ananova:

Rustie Lee plans to gatecrash Celebrity Survivor

TV chef Rustie Lee is planning to gatecrash the forthcoming series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! after being rejected for the show.

The cook, who shot to fame on TV-am in the 80's, has vowed to sabotage the series because makers have already signed a chef, Antony Worrall Thompson.

She says she's going to hire a helicopter and get dropped off at the remote island in Australia.

Contestants Toyah Willcox, Phil Tufnell, Chris Bisson, Danniella Westbrook, Linda Barker, John Fashanu, Sian Lloyd, Catalina Guirado, Wayne Sleep and Anthony Worrell Thomson are flying out to the jungle this week.

Rustie told Teletext: "I'm going to hire a helicopter and get dropped in. It's a fantastic show and I could add so much to it."

"I'm still hoping they might choose me. I've got a lot to offer. I'll definitely provide a few laughs and I can sing to the other contestants. I'm having my hair done just in case - I'm having it braided."

She added. "I'm hoping to start a campaign to get me on the show."

A spokeswoman for Granada says they were inundated by celebrities desperate to re-ignite their flagging careers by appearing on the show.
