Former EastEnders star Elaine Lordan has signed up for the next series of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!
The actress, who played Lynne Hobbs, was axed from the soap following clashes with producers over her drinking.
"The ITV bosses were delighted when Elaine signed on the dotted line," an insider told the Sunday Mirror. "They'd been in talks for months, but a deal has now been reached. It's a great coup for the show and it's sure to guarantee this series goes with a bang."
Producers are apparently trying to make this year's season the toughest to date.
Another source added, "This is not going to be a holiday camp. The theme bosses are working around is 'bigger, better, harder, harsher'. They are keen to hit the celebrities with the worst challenges they can come up with. Viewers can expect to see the stars squirm and really suffer for their supper."
