Speaking to the , Jess hinted that she has some big news to share and it sounds like we could be seeing her take on some grisly Bushtucker trials in the coming weeks.

She said: "Something really exiting's coming up and I can't wait to tell you all.

"It's going to be announced very soon."

However, when asked if she'll be back on the small screen soon she didn't reveal too much but admitted she would love to appear on I'm A Celeb.

She said: "I'd absolutely do that. I think it'll be a huge challenge for me but I'd love to do it."

Speaking last June, Jess said she'd love to head into the jungle because she could show off who she really is.

She said: "I love reality TV, I feel Big Brother or I’m a Celeb would really give me the opportunity to show off the real Jess.

“TOWIE was great but it was edited down.”

Here's hoping she's not fibbing after Charlotte Crosby angered fans by lying about appearing on the show.

But the idea of facing creepy-crawlies on a daily basis in the Australian jungle isn’t very appealing to her as she added: “I would be terrified of bugs in the jungle but I’d never let my team down.

“The way I would react to it would be an actual joke.

“There was a spider in my flat and it really freaked me out, it took me an hour to get rid of it. I love a challenge though so I’d battle through it.”

And while Myleene Klass will always go down in celebrity reality TV history for her famous shower scene in the jungle – and which ultimately boosted her career – Jess said she is willing to steal that crown.

She said: “I wouldn’t be worried about the shower at all.

“You’ve just got to work it. You’ve just got to get your best assets out.”

Meanwhile, Jess also commented on the recent drama between Pete Wicks and Megan McKenna.

The pair split after we revealed he was texting his former fling Jacqui Ryland.

However, if these exclusive pictures are anything to go by, it looks like a reunion could be on the cards.

Speaking about their split, Jess said: "It's heartbreaking, I feel really bad for her.

"We've all been in similar situations and when it's documented on TV it's really difficult. I think she's handling it with dignity and I wish her luck.

"I think Pete's a great guy, I know what he's done to her isn't great but if it's gonna work between them it will. Time will tell."
