Sinitta has signed a £30.000 deal to appear on the new series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, it has been claimed.

The 43-year-old singer, who is best friends with Simon Cowell and used to date Brad Pitt, is said to be leaving for Australia in the next few days ahead of the series starting next month.

And ITV bosses are said to be hoping taking part in the reality show will see Sinitta reveal some of Cowell's innermost secrets.

Inside scoop: Producers will no doubt hope Sinitta will reveal Simon Cowell's secrets

A source told The Sun: 'Simon helped get her the show. She loves being on TV and she should be good value and a bit of a mother figure.

'She knows all of Simon's secrets so producers will be hoping she lets some slip.'

Sinitta is no stranger to being on television, having appeared as Cowell's right-hand woman on The X Factor for several years, and also took part in last year's Dancing On Ice.

And she certainly has the wardrobe for the jungle, having wowed fans in a bikini made entirely of leaves on The X Factor in 2009.

However, mother-of-two Sinitta is said to be terrified Cowell and his friends will keep ringing in to sign her up for the horrendous Bushtucker Trials.

A source told the Daily Star: 'She is frightened that she will get all the trials for the comedy value.

'She has worn some outrageous things on The X Factor, including leaves, so she will be right at home in the jungle.'

Other names tipped be to heading into the jungle include The Only Way Is Essex's Mark Wright, who is thought to have quit TOWIE and signed a £60,000 deal to appear on the programme.
