But Angie Kent’s BFF has revealed her entry into the jungle follows a serious health issue.

The TV personality underwent gastric sleeve surgery in 2017.

Speaking to a local publication, she shared, “I’m the worst dieter!”

I’ve never not eaten when I’ve wanted to.”

The surgery means she has a signed doctor’s certificate making her “exempt” from eating certain foods – on medical grounds.

Yvie, 48, and best friend Angie Kent, 28, were the first confirmed stars for the new season of I’m A Celebrity.
