Kerri-Anne Kennerley's secret I'm A Celebrity contract demand revealed
The TV legend will officially enter the jungle during Monday night's episode.
She’s been asked to appear on every season of the reality show since it premiered in 2015, and now finally Kerri-Anne Kennerley is heading into the jungle as a contestant on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
While the TV legend will officially enter the show during Monday night’s episode in a challenge alongside MAFS bride Domenica Calarco, it was announced during the premiere that she will be one of this year’s famous campmates.
Before her entrance, Kerri-Anne Kennerley told news.com.au she finally decided to say yes to Channel 10 because she was offered a pay cheque she “couldn’t refuse”.
She also revealed that her contract came with “a few provisos” - similar to how Shane Warne was given permission to smoke when he appeared on the show in 2016.

The 69-year-old told producers she would only fly to South Africa and film the series if she was allowed to bring her beauty products with her.
“I get to take makeup,” she said. “Natural is very overrated.
“I can’t be bothered doing that much, but it won’t be natural because natural takes a long time. Every girl knows that.”
When asked if she was worried about how her fellow campmates would react to her unique contract clause, Kerri-Anne replied: “They should just get better management. Not my problem.”
Who else is on I'm A Celebrity?
The former queen of daytime TV is one of 14 celebrities competing on this year’s season alongside MAFS’ Domenica Calarco, former Home and Away star Debra Lawrance, former Australian Idol judge Ian 'Dicko' Dickson and radio host Woody Whitelaw.
Other stars announced during Sunday night’s premiere include comedian and former The Project host Peter Helliar, TV presenter Bianca Hunt, Olympic boxer Harry Garside, netballer Liz Ellis, Brownlow Medallist Adam Cooney, celebrity chef Anna Polyviou, Geordie Shore's Nathan Henry, Below Deck star Aesha Scott and a yet-to-be-announced former international Wallaby.
