Nicola McLean

Glamour model Nicola McLean enters the jungle with high hopes: to be this year’s Janice Dickinson. She reckons she’s loud, she’s competitive and she’s outrageous – and not afraid of an argument.

Nicola describes herself as “a natural show-off” so can’t wait to be filmed 24 hours a day. “I don’t think people are going to know who I am to be honest,” she admits. “But do I really care? People are just going to think that I’m a dumb blonde and that’s great. I agree with Pamela Anderson: ‘act dumb and no-one expects anything from you.’”

She’s most scared of boredom, any bugs or animals she’ll meet and anything that resembles a fairground ride.
