LISA Appleton has been seen munching bugs and downing wine in a swimming costume in a desperate bid to get on I'm A Celeb... but show bosses have said they've never heard of her.

The reality star was trying to show producers what they are missing, after claiming she was in talks with the ITV juggernaut.

Lisa looked better than ever in her plunging blue and pink swimming costume
But bosses completely dismissed the suggestion and said they didn't know who she was.

A source close to the star claimed: "Only a few people knew that Lisa had been in touch with the I'm a Celeb team.

"They were interested, but in the end they said they weren't going to offer her a spot this time."

But ITV bosses have been left baffled by the claims and an I'm A Celebrity insider has told The Sun Online there is no truth to rumours that Lisa was ever in consideration.

The source told us: "I'm sure she's a lovely lady, but she's just not high profile enough for the show."

She put her own spin on the show's classic Bushtucker Trials as she munched on bugs and downed wine straight from the bottle.

The former Big Brother star couldn't resist pulling a funny face as she posed for snaps in a traditional outback hat with corks.

She managed to capture the spirit of the jungle camp Down Under without leaving the country as she posed for the pictures.

In one cheeky shot, Lisa was seen flashing her bum as she crawled on her hands and knees through her makeshift jungle camp.

Lisa was also shown adjusting her swimming costume and grabbing her boobs to avoid a wardrobe malfunction which have become an Appleton staple in recent months.

After returning to the lime light when pictures of her eating sausages when viral, Lisa has since became a firm fan favourite.

Lisa is currently in LA to try to forge a career for herself there, as well as to see the sights and mingle with some stars.
