Billie Faiers would be "useless" on 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'
The 24-year-old star has jumped to the defence of her 'The Only Way Is Essex' co-star Gemma Collins - who quit the ITV reality series after just 72 hours last month - to admit she doesn't think she would've been able to cope in the Australian jungle either.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I would love to do a reality show but I think I would be the same as Gemma, I would be useless."
The blonde beauty claimed, however, that she believes her pal would have given it a better shot if it weren't for the personal issues she was dealing with when the show began.
Billie explained: "It wasn't the right time for her to go in there and she's a lot happier now being out."
Meanwhile, Gemma claims her split from boyfriend Alex Moss - whom she reportedly called the police on after a row at her home in Essex just hours before her flight - paired with the lack of food in the 'I'm A Celeb' camp led to her downfall.
She said previously: "I'll be honest with you, I was starving. I'm a plus size girl. I went from everything to 500 calories a day and that did affect me."
Speaking about her emotional breakdown, Gemma added: "It was all the shock trauma coming out. People don't know what I've been through ... If they saw pictures, if they knew what I'd been through, they'd understand."

Brooke Vincent feels uncomfortable on the red carpet.
The 'Coronation Street' actress - who plays Sophie Webster on the ITV soap - admits she isn't very "glamorous" and hates having to dress up for glitzy events.
She said: "On the red carpet you'll be in a dress you can't wear a bra with, standing with your arms over your boobs so no one can see your nipples, trying to look like you're not cold and having a really good time
"I'm not a glamorous person and if I could go without make-up I would. Dress codes are a nightmare."
The 22-year-old star feels particularly awkward in outfits which show off her legs and she also hates flashing too much flesh or wearing baggy clothes.
She told Now magazine: "I don't like my legs. A lad called me 'thunder thighs' when I was younger and I've always thought that.
"I like tailored trousers, dresses that come below my knee and matching two-pieces that make me feel in proportion.
"I look bigger in clothes if they're not fitted and I can't have too much flesh on show or I get flustered."

Billie Faiers will be thinking about having another baby in the "near future".
The 24-year-old beauty welcomed her first child - daughter Nelly - with fiance Greg Shepherd in July and she's revealed they're already thinking about having another baby as she wants them to be as close as her and her sister Sam Faiers.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the launch of her My Babiie range at Mothercare in London, she said: "I would love to have them close in age. Samantha and I, there's only 11 months between us, so I kind of feel like with Nelly, I'd love her to have a brother or sister quite close so they can grow up together.
"So we'll definitely be thinking about it in the near future."
'The Only Way Is Essex' star also confessed that while Nelly has been keeping her up at night, she and Greg still think they're "lucky" to have such a "lovely" baby.
Billie explained: "We've been absolutely fine. We've been really lucky, I think, because Nelly's such a lovely happy baby. She's not going through the nights yet so I'm still up doing the night feed but it's fine, I'm used to it now. She's really good and a pleasure to be around."
Meanwhile, the curvaceous blonde admits her sister Sam is loving her new role as an auntie.
She added: "She loves it, she's in her element. Samantha knows exactly what to do to make her laugh and she's really enjoying it."

Pixie Lott has asked Trent Whiddon to choreograph her next music video.
The 'Lay Me Down' singer was voted off 'Strictly Come Dancing' on the weekend but admits she has no plans to hang up her dancing shoes and has even asked her professional dance partner to work with her on her music career.
She said: "I think Trent's a genius. I'm going to have him choreograph the music video for my next single."
However, the blonde beauty has confessed that despite having had dance training prior to her appearance on the BBC One celebrity dance contest, she did struggle with some of the routines.
The 23-year-old star explained: "The first week where I found it particularly hard was the samba week, because the routine was so fast.
"I finally just felt like it got into my body and then I loved the dance on the night."
Pixie also revealed that while she doesn't panic about performing in front of hundreds of thousands of people in concert, dancing in front of just hundreds in the 'Strictly' studio made her really nervous.
She told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I always think the bigger the better. I find it really strange. When I'm just standing there singing I never get nervous."
Meanwhile, Pixie claims she has "no idea" who's going to win the show but says she's "rooting" for the remaining girls, Caroline Flack and Frankie Sandford.

Daniella Westbrook has had to visit food banks.
The former 'EastEnders' actress confessed yesterday (08.12.14) that she's been living in sheltered housing after losing her home and she's now revealed she's had to collect food from volunteer organisations to feed her and her children.
She said: "I get a small amount of money from my daughter's dad for her ... and that's it really. I've been really very lucky with friends of mine that supply me with a food delivery to the house to help us out.
"And I have been to food banks this year because we haven't had any money. It's been difficult. Friends have pulled together and of them has lent me a little car to drive so I can get the kids to school."
The 41-year-old star - who has 18-year-old son Kai with former partner Robert Fernandez and 13-year-old daughter Jody with ex-husband Kevin Jenkins - insists that although this year has been the worst of her life, she's thankful to her local council for putting a roof over her head.
Speaking on 'This Morning', she admitted: "They got us in somewhere within two weeks, in sheltered accommodation which is like a bedsit, which is where we are now."
Danniella - who has famously struggled with drug addiction in the past - admitted to relapsing earlier this year and claims she's now lost a number of jobs because of it.
She explained: "I've lost all my work. I was supposed to be in Torquay this Christmas in panto [pantomime] and as soon as I got exposed they called and said, 'We can't possibly have her at our theatre', and other work I had lined up, I've lost because I've relapsed."
However, she refuses to place the blame for her current situation entirely on herself, adding: "Being a drug addict, you do bring a lot of stuff on yourself ... I did relapse earlier this year, and I completely admit that. But I was clean for 13 years before that. I messed up. I'm a human being."

Carl Fogarty's dying friend helped him beat depression.
The new King of the 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' jungle has confessed he became a shadow of his former self when he retired from motorbike racing but claims his best pal Mark Winstanley - who lost his battle with stomach cancer aged 45 - told him to "stop moaning" and make the most of his life.
He said: "Mark stopped me from whinging about who I was. He said, 'Look at me you f*****g d**k, I'm dying and you keep complaining because of who you are'.
"He said to get out there and celebrate what I created for motorcycling and I think that's why I probably ended up doing the show.
"When he died it left a massive hole, but what he said was kind of the kick up the a**e I needed. This show has come at a really good time for me."
The 49-year-old former World Superbike champion has also admitted he never really enjoyed his racing career and regrets taking it out on his wife Michaela - with whom he has daughters Danielle, 23, and Claudia, 20.
Carl told The Sun newspaper: "All my mates who raced really enjoyed racing, but I never did. I enjoyed winning but for such a small amount of time.
"I now realise winning had become an unhealthy obsession. The more I won, the more I had to win, it was crazy. I created a monster, it was horrible. But that person has gone now and I can enjoy this."

Heather Mills will reportedly take part in 'The Jump'.
The 46-year-old star - who is the ex-wife of Paul McCartney - is close to finalising a deal with Channel 4 bosses to join the latest series of the reality TV show, which see celebrities compete against each other in various winter sports including speed skating, slalom and ski jumping.
Heather - who lost part of her left leg in a motorcycle accident in 1993 - will join Zara Phillips' husband Mike Tindall and the Speaker's wife Sally Bercow on the Austrian slopes next month and is keen to join the show "on the same basis as able-bodied athletes".
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Bosses are still confirming the deal but she is expected to sign on the dotted line in the next few days before heading out to Austria to start practising.
"Heather is keen to take part on the same basis as able-bodied athletes.
"She loves a challenge and thinks 'The Jump' is a great platform."
The former model is already a keen skier and was ranked 28th in the world at slalom before unceremoniously quitting the UK disabled ski team last year following a spat with an official.
Heather reportedly screamed, 'You bitch', at International Paralympic Committee member Sylvana Mestre after she was told her footwear hadn't been approved for the competition.

Steve Brookstein has branded Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh "irrelevant".
The 46-year-old singer was the first ever winner of 'The X Factor' but his career bombed afterwards, but he has now come out to criticise show boss Simon and has called Louis - who has been a judge on every series - an "imbecile".
He told The Guardian: "Louis Walsh is a complete imbecile. He is a complete imbecile. What's he had? Westlife. Westlife!
"Louis Walsh is irrelevant, musically irrelevant. Simon Cowell is musically irrelevant."
Steve - who has just released his no-holds barred memoir 'Getting Over the X' - also revealed that when it came to his first album Simon's demeanour towards him totally changed from how he had been on the TV series.
Speaking about the 55-year-old music mogul, he explained: "He was extremely stern. I'd never seen him like it on 'X Factor'. It was cold - just, 'Look, this is how it's going to be.'
"Inside I'm thinking: who the f**k are you talking to? I don't take this s**t. But I thought: you know what, I'll give you one album. But you mess this up and we're falling out. I didn't want to go on 'The X Factor' and be made a fool of. And I thought, 'No, I'm not having this. 'Cos I know that the music I do is good."

The 'Doctor Who' Christmas special is the "buddy movie you've always wanted".
The hour-long episode of the BBC One sci-fi drama titled 'Last Christmas' sees the titular Time Lord meet Santa Claus and showrunner Steven Moffat has told fans to expect something "quite surprising".
The 53-year-old writer shared: "Well obviously as everyone knows from the end of 'Death in Heaven', it's the ultimate meeting of Christmas heroes; Santa Claus meets Doctor Who. The buddy movie you've always wanted.
"In addition to that, it's quite surprising - it won't be what some people expect because it's a thriller of an episode.
"The Christmas element is covered in the fairly notable form of Santa Claus and the elves and their sleigh. But the rest of it is very much 'Doctor Who' - scary, in a polar ice cap base, scientists under threat. I keep describing it as 'Miracle on 34th Street' meets 'Alien'."
Meanwhile, Peter Capaldi - who stars as the Time Lord alongside his companion Clara Oswald, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman - says the much-hyped new episode has a strong Christmas theme running through the storyline.
The 56-year-old actor said: "It's both really scary and really festive. It manages to be quite frightening and still have Santa Claus in it. It is extremely Christmassy but there is a plot line in it that is quite dark and I think Steven has done a brilliant job at balancing those two things.
"It's perfect for Christmas viewing - it supplies everything that 'Doctor Who' should supply at Christmas. It's scary but it leaves you feeling warm and cheerful."
