Katie Price has said that she is "flattered" by claims that Nicola McLean is imitating her in the jungle.

Price, who finished fifth on I'm A Celebrity... in 2004, also said she was surprised that McLean was picked for the show.

"I met her years ago when she was trying to become a glamour model," she told New!.

"She didn't get anywhere and I'm quite surprised she's in it."

She added: "Lots of people have been texting me and people are saying, 'Has Nicola studied tapes of you?' because she's trying to be like me. I'm flattered."
