Ex Apprentice contestant Stella English has said she doesn't think I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! bosses want her on the TV show.

Stella was one of the favourites to enter the jungle.

But she told OK! magazine: "I haven't been made an offer. I would absolutely love to do it, but I don't think they want me."

Stella, 34, admitted she might not get on so well doing the bushtucker trials if she did join I'm A Celebrity..., which starts later this month.

"Do you know what would be so hard? I live in the country and my cats bring in mice and things like that and I have to get my little kids to pick them up and get rid of them," she said.

"So the only thing is, if I actually did get into it I don't know how I'd handle it."

Stars said to be taking part in ITV's I'm A Celebrity... this year include snooker player Steve Davis, Emmerdale's Lucy Pargeter and EastEnders actress Laila Morse.

Apprentice winner Stella lost a high-profile case of unfair dismissal against The Apprentice boss Lord Sugar earlier this year.
