Titmuss, who will star in comedy play Stage Fright next month, revealed yesterday that she had turned down the opportunity to enter Celebrity Big Brother.
The 33-year-old's reality TV credits include Celebrity Love Island, Come Dine With Me and Hell's Kitchen.
Explaining her decision on Twitter, she wrote: "I'm looking at my flat and thinking of all the things I could have done if I'd taken the cash and done BB instead of sticking to my guns and acting in a play.
"It was a choice between instant fame and money versus continuing the hard way. To be honest I was scared of BB... 24/7 surveillance anyone? I did that on Love Island in the lap of luxury on an idyllic beach and I still found it really hard. I'd have no chance in a house in Elstree!"
She added: "I'm not great at reality. As the old actor's adage goes, it's when I'm playing someone else that I can really be myself. Strange but true."
