Jungle woman: Apprentice villainess Katie Hopkins is set to appear in the jungle-based I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here show
Katie is set to decamp to the Australian jungle to take part in the latest series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!.
Businesswoman Katie famously turned down a place in the final of Sir Alan Sugar's hit BBC1 show, The Apprentice, earlier this year.
And fans of the show were stunned were pictured emerged of the mother-of-two enjoying a sex romp in a field.
The news came as the camp in Dungay Creek, Murwillumbah, New South Wales, was given the all-clear following a pollution scare.
Show bosses no doubt breathed a sigh of relief as the series begins next week.
Health officials were called in after fish were found dead in the water. And environmental health officers launched an investigation and slapped a ban on people drinking the water, swimming in it or angling.
I'm A Celebrity producers feared it could mean this year's contestants – rumoured to include ex-Hollyoaks star Gemma Atkinson – would be banned from bathing in their bikinis.
There were also fears the celebrities would not be allowed to go fishing.
But the probe revealed the pollution had been caused by spray used to fight mosquitoes. And yesterday producers were officially given the green light.

A spokesman said: "The show will be carrying on as planned and we are confident the water where the celebrities wash and bathe is safe."
In anticipation to Katie's arrival, the show's crew are said to have named a poisonous cane toad seen bouncing around the camp after the ruthless entrepreneur.
The cane toad – which kills prey with its toxic skin – was spotted by crew as they prepared the camp yesterday.
And in a "tribute" to the barbed-tongued 32-year-old, the crew named it Katie.
