“Of course I’m competitive – nobody goes on the court saying ‘I want to lose’”. Ex-tennis champ Martina is in the jungle to win – and she has no time for whiners. Or ignorant people. Or those who don’t listen.
Martina’s friends describe her as “playful but reasonable” and she admits she’s more of a leader than a follower.
Although she has a pilot’s licence, Martina is petrified of heights. Having spent a long time in the bush, snakes don’t bother her, but she’s not so keen on anything poisonous. And as she’s never seen I’m A Celebrity…, she’s not quite sure what she’s letting herself in for.
