"This time last year I had a broken ankle and I literally sat on the sofa at home watching every single minute of it thinking, 'Oh my gosh that castle looks incredible, one day I would love to be part of it,' and now I am."
She added: "I didn't tell Dan Walker I was doing I'm A Celebrity before coming to Wales but I don't think he will be surprised! He knows me well and I think he will be both excited and nervous for me."
