Kendra Wilkinson is trying to cure her heartache.
The 29-year-old beauty’s marriage to former American football star Hank Baskett came under sever strain when it was alleged he’d cheated on her with a transsexual model and a friend of the star has now revealed she’s competing on British reality series ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ in order to take some "time out".
Jessica Hall shared: "She wanted to do it to prove to herself what a strong person she is, because she has had a tough year. She needed the time out.
"When it [the news of Hank’s alleged cheating] came out, I never left Kendra’s side.
"I was there from step one and it was hard to watch as a friend."
However, the former Playboy model’s best friend admits she’s hoping Kendra and Hank – who have four-year-old son Hank Baskett IV and six-month-old daughter Alijah Mary together – will work things out once Kendra returns from Australia.
She added to The Sun newspaper: "It was out of control. But you have to remember there are two sides to every story.
"I would love to see them make it work, because I adore both of them and they are terrific together. I’m rooting for Hank.
"And she is learning things all the time in the jungle."
