Van Day hopes to emulate Jade Goody
David Van Day has said that he hopes to emulate Jade Goody's reality TV career.

Speaking at the DS Reality TV Awards last night, the I'm A Celeb... star claimed that he wanted to match her "sincerity" on and off screen.

"They said, 'What was it about Jade Goody that made her so magic?' It was her sincerity and connection with the public," he told DS. "She never changed when she was on screen or off it. I hope I can do that [as well].

"I think everything I do is very genuine and there's an honesty that cuts through the screen."

Speaking about his upcoming TV plans, Van Day also revealed that he is working on a makeover show with WAG Lizzie Cundy based on a Charlie's Angels theme.

"We'll take a girl that's been dumped by her boyfriend, give her a makeover and take her back to her boyfriend and see if he'll take her back," he said. "If he doesn't we'll have other plans for her. It's going to be a great show and it will be a show you love to hate.

"We're in production at the moment and I suspect we'll get it out later this year. I really can't tell you the title because it's a great title, but it's based on Charlie's Angels and it deals with bringing people back together."
