Alison went on to explain: “You can’t go and do Dancing On Ice fearful, which I literally will be.”
Alison, who first started her presenting and reporting role with This Morning back in 2003, has also appeared on the likes of Big Brother and Strictly Come Dancing.
Speaking about why she agreed to appear on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2010, the reality TV star explained: “Yes, you are covered from all angles but I feel that because they’re celebrities, they’re a lot more gentle to the celebrities and ultimately it’s a family show, they don’t want anything nasty and it will all be edited down.
“So, I think deep down they want to show the best of you.”
