Ulrika Jonsson has claimed that Myleene Klass's career was "paralysed" before I'm A Celebrity....

Jonsson said she would never appear in the jungle because she could not bear to spend time with the other contestants, despite the financial incentives.

"I know I'm A Celebrity... pays well," she told Closer. "And it's been known to enhance even the most paralysed of careers - ie Myleene Klass - but I don't like the thought of being stuck in the same rainforest as Robert Kilroy-Snake."

The Swedish-born TV presenter has previously appeared on Comic Relief Does Fame Academy, Celebrity Come Dine With Me and Dancing On Ice.
