The glamour model said chewing scorpions, kangaroo’s testicles and silkworms during the ‘I Scream Van’ challenge earlier this week has given her the confidence to tackle anything she is given and has cemented a belief in her that she can win the show.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Nicola – who bookmakers have as third favourite to be first out - said: “I’m a winner. I like winning and my fiancé always tells me, ‘If you’re not fast, you’re last.’ “I always thought I’d refuse to eat eyeballs and it was the first thing they gave me. I would eat anything now.” The 26-year-old beauty’s fiance, Peterborough United footballer Tommy Williams agreed.

He said: “I knew she’d do it, no problem. Nic’s a fighter. There’s a lot more too it than people give her credit for.

“She will give 100 per cent to whatever she puts her mind to. I’m really proud of her.” The soccer star also revealed ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ has given him the first chance to see Nicola without make-up.

The glamour girl admitted to camp mates yesterday (18.11.08) that she sleeps in lip gloss and mascara, and puts on full make-up before Tommy gets up in the mornings, only to take it off when he leaves the house, but her fiance says he loves her natural look.

He added to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “She’s always got make-up on. I’ve never seen her without it. I can’t get over how stunning she looks in the jungle.”
