Jordan is surprised Nicola McLean was asked to appear on I'm A Celebrity...

The glamour model - who was a contestant on the reality show in 2004 where she met her now husband Peter Andre - says the 26-year-old beauty never really made it as a model and so isn't famous enough to appear.

She said: "I met her years ago when she was trying to become a glamour model. She didn't get anywhere and I'm quite surprised she's in it."

The 30-year-old mother-of-three also insisted Nicola is attempting to copy her to win favour with viewers.

She added: "I actually really love it. Lots of people have been texting me and people are saying, 'Has Nicola McLean studied tapes of you?' because she's trying to be like me."

However, Jordan - real name Katie Price - admitted she enjoys being seen as a role model and wished Nicola every success on the show.

She added to New! magazine: "I'm flattered. I think she'll do really well. Carly Zucker is a really pretty girl as well.

"I think they're all doing well, actually."
