Paul Hollywood’s ex-girlfriend Summer Monteys-Fullam has set the record straight and squashed rumours that she has been approached about taking part in the upcoming series of I’m A Celebrity! Get Me Out of Here!
The former barmaid, 24, took to her Instagram stories to dispel the gossiping.
She wrote: ‘Just to set the record straight… I have never contacted or been contacted by the celebrity jungle.
‘Neither have I accepted, received or rejected any offers. Have a great day.’
The disappointing confession comes after Summer sparked intense speculation that she was going Down Under after liking a spate of comments about her taking part in the reality series.
One comment she liked reads: ‘Hope rumours are true and this beautiful lady is on I’m a celebrity this year. You’ve got my support and vote.’
And yesterday, it was reported that she was holding out for a huge payday for her participation.
According to The Mirror, Summer had already turned down a £125,000 offer, with her friends saying the sum is ‘way off the mark’.
A source told the paper: ‘Summer knows she’d be TV gold and can all but name her price. If she gets her way, she’ll be one of the highest-paid contestants ever.’
However, it looks like the rumours are just rumours but there’s plenty of time between now and I’m A Celeb starting in December so things could change.
Summer split from Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood after two years of dating when he asked her to sign a gagging order.
The pair have both taken to social media in the wake of the break-up, with Summer claiming she is taking Paul to court for making defamatory claims about her.
The very nasty and public break up led to Summer being labelled a ‘hot ticket for reality shows’.
I’m A Celebrity returns to ITV later this year.
