'Celebrity' females aspire to Jordan

Ex I'm A Celebrity star Jordan has emerged as a role model for this year's crop of contestants.

The headline-grabbing glamour girl began a high profile romance with faded popstar Peter Andre when she appeared in the third series of the show last year.

"I thought that she was just fantastic on the show," said ex-EastEnder Elaine Lordan. "She was brilliant. She did everything that was asked of her and she should have won that series. I’m quite a fan of Jordan’s to be honest. I really am. I just think she’s fab.???

Atomic Kitten singer Jenny Frost is aiming to follow Jordan's lead, should she be selected for the Bush Tucker Trials. “I really liked watching Jordan on it because I think everyone had such preconceived ideas about her and she came across really well on it. I thought she was really ballsy. I think if I could sort of be like anybody in the trials I’d like to be like her because she just got stuck into it and I thought she was quite brave. I’ve not got legs like hers and I wouldn’t want to give Peter Andre one, but apart from that hopefully I’ll be as ballsy as her.???

Even wine connoisseur Jilly Goolden is an admirer. “Katie Price came forward as such a strong character and I rooted for her," she said, adding: "I think people have a preconceived idea about what I’m like and I think my screen persona is brittle. I think I come across as someone who’s terribly strident and maybe a bit tough but I’m really a little soft teddy bear, a pushover.???
