Lucy Mecklenburgh signs up for The Island with Bear Grylls
The former Towie star is heading out to the remote getaway to brush up on her survival skills
ESSEX beauty Lucy Mecklenburgh has signed up for the new series of The Island with Bear Grylls.
The former Towie babe, 25, will jet off to join nine celebrities on the remote getaway all in the name of charity.
A source said: “Lucy can’t wait to get involved with all the survival tasks.
“She’s a bit of a tomboy at heart and is looking forward to showing the nation what she can really do.”
The show is expected to be broadcast on Channel 4 in October and will raise money for StandUpToCancer.
A spokesperson for Channel 4 declined to comment.
Meanwhile, juicy Lucy won’t be short of male attention as she fronts lingerie brand Boux Avenue’s summer campaign.
She told The Sun: “I am single and if Prince Charming came along I wouldn’t say no.”
An onlooker said: "From the moment Lucy walked in she was all over Thom. He was interested but also flirting with other girls and Lucy was not impressed, often throwing them looks whenever they chatted to him."
