Jane Moore reveals famous pal she wants to go on I’m A Celeb – saying they’re a ‘disrupter’ who would wind everyone up
JANE Moore has revealed the famous pal she'd love to see in the I'm A Celebrity jungle - dubbing them a "professional disruptor who would wind everyone up."
It came after The Sun columnist and Loose Women anchor, 62, exclusively told of her verdicts on her ITV campmates - including the one star nursing a secret struggle.
Jane became the first celebrity to be sent home after falling short in the public vote on Friday.
During a phone-in on I'm A Celebrity spin-off show Unpacked, Jane was asked by a caller: "If she could send another journalist into the I'm A Celebrity camp who would she pick? Keep up the good work, bye."
Without missing a beat, Jane said: "Piers Morgan."
Presenter Joel Dommett asked: "Do you know Piers?" to which she replied: "I know Piers incredibly well."

Referring to her fellow The Sun columnist, co-presenter Kemi Rogers said: "Jane how do you think he'll do and why do you pick him - because he will do well or because he wont do well?"
Mum of two Jane continued: "Because he's a professional disruptor.
"So he will just go in there and he will just wind everybody up.
"He will reel them in."
Joel then quizzed: "Will he do it," to which she simply replied: "No."
Back in 2022, Piers, 59, told how he asked ITV bosses for £5million to sign up for the show.
When asked if he was planning on following in former MP Matt Hancock's footsteps, Piers told The Sun at its Who Cares Wins awards: "I would rather shoot myself slowly with a slow moving bullet that corroded through every bone in my body before it finished me off than go into the jungle with people like Matt Hancock and munch kangaroo testicles.
"My parents have actually said to me they would put up with anything - and I’ve put them through a lot - but not the jungle.
"It’s a step too far. That’s their red line. I’d get disowned."
JUNGLE JAPES
The ITV star also exclusively told us her first meal out of camp - as well as her weight loss.
I'm A Celebrity 2024
i'm A Celebrity is back for its 24th series, with a batch of famous faces living in the Aussie jungle. The Sun's Jake Penkethman takes a look at the stars on the show this year..
Coleen Rooney - Arguably the most famous name in the camp, the leading WAG, known for her marriage to Wayne Rooney, has made a grand return to TV as she looks to put the Wagatha Christie scandal behind her. The Sun revealed the mum-of-four had bagged an eye-watering deal worth over £1.5million to be on the show this year making her the highest-paid contestant ever.
Tulisa - The popstar and former X Factor judge has made her triumphant TV comeback by signing up to this year's I'm A Celeb after shunning TV shows for many years. Known for being a member of the trio, N-Dubz, Tulisa became a household name back in 2011 when she signed on to replace Cheryl on ITV show The X Factor in a multi-million pound deal.
Alan Halsall - The actor, known for playing the long-running role of Tyrone Dobbs on ITV soap opera Coronation Street, was originally signed up to head Down Under last year but an operation threw his scheduled appearance off-course. Now he has become the latest Corrie star to win over both the viewers and his fellow celebrities.
Melvin Odoom - The Radio DJ has become a regular face on TV screens after rising to fame with presenting roles on Kiss FM, BBC Radio 1 and 4Music. Melvin has already been for a spin on the Strictly dancefloor and co-hosted The Xtra Factor with Rochelle Humes in 2015 but now he is facing up to his biggest challenge yet - the Aussie jungle.
GK Barry - The UK's biggest social media personality, GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has transformed her TikTok stardom into a lucrative career. Aside from her popular social media channels, she hosts the weekly podcast, Saving Grace, and regularly appears on ITV talk show, Loose Women. She has even gone on to endorse popular brands such as PrettyLittleThing, KFC and Ann Summers.
Dean McCullough - A rising star amongst this year's bunch of celebs, Dean first achieved notability through his radio appearances on Gaydio and BBC Radio 1. He was chosen to join the BBC station permanently in 2021 and has featured prominently ever since. He has enjoyed a crossover to ITV over the past year thanks to his guest slots on Big Brother spin-off show, Late & Live.
Oti Mabuse - The pro dancer has signed up to her latest TV show after making her way through the biggest programmes on the box. She originally found fame on Strictly Come Dancing but has since branched out into the world of TV judging with appearances on former BBC show The Greatest Dancer as well as her current role on ITV's Dancing On Ice.
Danny Jones - The McFly star was drafted into the programme last minute as a replacement for Tommy Fury. Danny is the second member of McFly to enter the jungle, after Dougie Poynter won the show in 2011. He is also considered a rising star on ITV as he's now one of the mentors on their Saturday night talent show, The Voice, along with bandmate Tom Fletcher.
Jane Moore - The Loose Women star and The Sun columnist is braving the creepy crawlies this year. The star is ready for a new challenge - having recently split from her husband. It will be Jane's first foray into reality TV with the telly favourite having always said no to reality shows in the past.
Barry McGuigan - Former pro boxer Barry is the latest fighting champ to head Down Under following in the footsteps of Tony Bellew and Amir Khan. It comes after a tough few years for Irish star Barry, who lost his daughter Danika to bowel cancer. He told The Late Late Show in 2021: "She was such an intrinsic part of the family that every day we ache."
Maura Higgins - The Irish TV beauty first found fame on Love Island where she found a brief connection with dancer Curtis Pritchard. Since then, she has competed on Dancing On Ice as well as hosting the Irish version of the beauty contest, Glow Up. Since last year, she has been working on building up her career in the US by being the social media correspondent and host of Aftersun to accompany Love Island USA. She even guest hosted an episode of the spin-off, Love Island Games, in place of Maya Jama last year.
Rev. Richard Coles - Former BBC radio host the Rev Richard Coles is a late arrival on I’m A Celebrity, and he's ready to spill the beans on his former employer. The former Communards and Strictly star, said the BBC did not know its a**e from its elbow last year. An insider said: "Rev Coles will have a variety of tales to tell from his wild days as a pop star in the Eighties, through to performing on Strictly and his later life as a man of the cloth."
Following the elimination, Jane said she has now become accustomed to smaller portions of food - and was keen to tuck into some good quality pasta.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun: "In camp I kept saying I'm going to have fish and chips with salt and vinegar because you miss seasoning. You have no seasoning at all.
"I might just have a very good small tasty pasta of some sort - maybe an arrabbiata.
"A glass of prosecco is waiting for you when you come out, because I've seen the show many times.
"I thought I was going to chug it but I actually had two sips and thought it was really weird...all we've been doing in camp is talking about food, it occupies hours of our day, fantasising about food.
"I was thinking I was going to fill my boots, somebody said to me when I came out 'would you like a bacon and egg bap', and I had about three mouthfuls and I was completely full.
"The camp has taught me that I eat a lot more than I need to."
Jane also spilled the secrets on her close friendship with Coleen Rooney in camp - after the WAG expressed reservations at meeting the journalist.
Jane said Coleen confided in her that she had wanted to become a journalist — and that she’d then urged Coleen to join her on ITV1’s Loose Women panel.

She said: “I have suggested to her that she would make a very good Loose Woman. I said, ‘No pressure, but you could come on with me and GK (Barry) and Christine Lampard and I think you’d have a fantastic time, and I think you’d be very good.’
“I said, ‘So I’m just going to leave that with you.’ She just sort of nodded and smiled, so we’ll see.”
