Rodney lifts the lid on Janice's "game plan"

Rodney lifts the lid on Janice's "game plan"
I'm A Celebrity star Rodney Marsh has insisted that the show's viewers never got to see the real Janice Dickinson.

Janice finished in second place on the ITV1 reality series on Friday night, but Rodney has claimed that her success on the show was the result of an elaborate game plan.

"We became allies in the camp and, from then on, she started trying to coach me with bits of advice," Rodney told the Daily Star Sunday. "She would say things like: 'If there is a close-up on you, look over your shoulder' - because it makes a good shot.

"She said to me, 'You're terrific on camera but you should do this and that better'. After a while, I began to realise the Janice I spent time with was not the same Janice people were probably seeing on TV and sending on Bushtucker trials because they thought she was a frightened rabbit. That is so far from reality."

Janice stayed by Rodney's side when he sustained a knee injury in the jungle, but he has said that she was only concerned about how she looked on camera.

"I thought she was going to say something comforting," Rodney explained. "Instead, she said: 'Wow, the lighting here is fantastic! Just tilt your chin up, Rodney. This will make fantastic television. We'll look great!' I thought: 'Are you having a laugh?' I was in agony and all she cared about were the camera angles."
