Rachel Hunter has been revealed as the first contestant of a popular celebrity reality show set in a jungle.
The Kiwi supermodel will be appearing on this season of Australia’s I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, the first episode of which aired last night.
Thirteen stars will competeto be crowned the king or queen of the jungle, completing challenges as they camp in the South African wilds.
In a video shared to her Instagram confirming the news, Hunter said she was most looking forward to meeting her fellow cast members and most dreading the local wildlife.
“We’ve got to remember guys, I am a New Zealander, and we don’t have anything too scary at home.”
She urged fans to tune in as the show airs weeknights and Sundays on Channel 10.
“The message that I would have for the viewers at home is basically, go get your popcorn, go get the things that you like to enjoy while you’re watching TV and enjoy the ride with us.”
American actor Barry Williams and Triple J host Concetta Caristo are among the show’s other contestants, with a “Masterchef”, “Reality TV Bad Boy”, and a “Bridezilla” still yet to be announced.

Hunter got her start in an ad for Tip Top trumpets, later modelling for Sports Illustrated, Vogue, Elle, and Playboy.
She was married to Rod Stewart between 1990 and 2006, sharing two children, Renee and Liam, with the British musician.
The 56-year-old told news.com.au she was reluctant to talk about her previous relationship despite the continued public interest in their marriage.
“There was a phase that I was obviously married and we were happily married, and then we ended up getting divorced, so there is a little of...’oh god, do we have to repeat this?’”
“Because obviously Rod is in a different place, I’m in a different place, and we’ve moved on.”
