Former Geordie Shore fave, Charlotte Crosby is reportedly heading down under to join this year’s line-up of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

Char, who was reportedly banned from the show last year, was offered a place after bosses saw how popular Geordie ladies are with the public, following wins by Vicky Pattison and Scarlett Moffatt, says the Sun Online.

A source told the site: “Charlotte has signed up to this year’s I’m A Celebrity.

“She’s nervous but so excited at the same time! She never thought she’d get a chance to go on the show because she thought they wouldn’t take her on because she’s done other reality shows like Big Brother.”

The source went on to say that the Just Tattoo of Us star has the support of her boyfriend, Stephen Bear (who, by the way, we think would be awesome on the show too.)

The unnamed mole revealed: “She’s been telling her family and friends all about it and can’t wait to get out there now. Bear has been supportive about it and thinks it’s a great opportunity for her.

“Charlotte is hilarious and she’ll be a brilliant camp mate. She’s not scared about getting her hands dirty in camp.”

“She’s seen the success of Vicky and Scarlett and wants to be the third Geordie girl to walk away with the I’m A Celeb crown.”

Char was banned last year because she’d already won Celebrity Big Brother and bosses worried viewers would get fed up with seeing the same recycled celebs everywhere.

But after seeing viewers take Geordie lasses Scarlett and Vicky to their hearts, they’ve apparently changed their tune and were begging Charlotte to go on.

Last year, Charlotte joked on Twitter that she was going on the show, in a bid to prove to bosses how popular she is and how wrong the ban was.

She said at the time: “Everyone was so excited so I’m hoping it gave the producers the push to think they should let me on the show.

“My fans were so upset because they want us on. I can’t go on as they won’t have us, I’ve been banned because I was on Big Brother and they won’t follow suit.

“It’s out of my control.”

She added that she’d more than happily get into the spirit of things, saying: ““You know I’d eat a kangaroo’s testicle and everything.”
