I'm a Celeb :Emily Scott and Jessica-Jane Clement show off their trim figures in sexy festive underwear

Still battling it out on the small screen: Emily Scott and Jessica-Jane Clement show off their trim figures in sexy festive underwear

They may have left the jungle a few weeks ago but it seems Jessica-Jane Clement and Emily Scott are still battling it out.

The I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here beauties both made an appearance on ITV's This Morning today to model some festive underwear.

Jessica-Jane, 26, and Emily, 28, were both known for flashing their trim figures in skimpy bikinis during their time in the jungle and it seems that some things never change.

Australian star Emily - who arrived in the UK last Friday - was first to strut her stuff in front of presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby during the fashion sequence on the morning show.

Wearing a tight red basque complete with matching stockings and suspenders, the blonde star completed her look with a pair of black heels and a sheer short-sleeved robe.


Standing next to Joe Pasquale, who was dressed in a bright green Rudolph jumper and silk leopard-print boxer shorts, Emily looked confident in her undies as fashion expert Faye Sawyer talked through their outfits.

But before they talked fashion, Phillip was keen to ask the model if she was going to Essex and if she'd met up with Mark Wright yet.

'We've spoken on the phone,' Emily replied. 'I'm going to Faces in Essex to DJ.'

Her and Joe were then joined by Jessica-Jane Clement and Ray Quinn who also modelled some underwear for the cold Winter months.

The Real Hustle star wore a nude corselette with lace stockings and matching peep toe heels.

Speaking about recovering from the jungle, Jessica-Jane said: 'I'm a little bit jetlagged still, and I can't stop eating. I've already had three sausages and chocolate today.'

The third pair to join the scantily-clad celebrities was Hollyoaks star Gemma Merna and former MP Lembit Öpik.

Wearing a low-cut red corset complete with a matching tutu skirt, the blonde actress told the audience that the outfit was definitely something she will be wearing at Christmas.

But Gemma obviously didn't bond as well with Jessica-Jane and Emily as she was nowhere to be seen when the pair posed for photos outside the ITV studios in London.

Luckily the stars had changed out of their sexy underwear and into something a bit warmer, with Jessica-Jane modelling a fur-trimmed leather coat and red sheepskin boots.

Emily was obviously feeling the cold British weather and opted for a white faux fur coat with black leggings and matching ankle boots.

But although Emily may have spent time catching up with Jessica-Jane, one camp mate she hasn't seen yet is Mark.

The model-come-DJ made an appearance at club Shaka Zulu in Camden, North London on Saturday night - but Essex star Mark stayed well away.

While Emily was showing off her spinning skills, her former camp mate partied up north in Liverpool.

But the blonde didn't seem too bothered as she enjoyed a glass of champagne and later donned some headphones for her set.

She later took to her Twitter account and posted: 'such a good night with @SINTILLATE at Shaka Zulu!!'

Wearing a black tight-fitted skirt with a matching sheer blouse, Emily showed off her cleavage again wearing just a strapless bra underneath.

She finished off her look with a pair of metallic heels and heavy black eyeliner as she clapped her hands and posed for the cameras.

She arrived with a male companion and reportedly enjoyed meal of tuna carpaccio and pasta, before posing with characters from the hit musical, The Lion King.

Meanwhile, The Only Way Is Essex star Mark, was mobbed by fans as he arrived at the Ruby Sky bar.

Surrounded by a group of his close male friends, the TV star was then required to have security help him inside.

Wearing dark blue jeans and a fitted black leather jacket, Mark looked like he'd topped up his tan for his public outing but was obviously tired as he headed straight for a seat once inside the venue.

The runner-up of the ITV1 show flirted constantly with Emily while in the Australian jungle, but was quick to squash rumours of a future romance.

While Emily admitted that she fancied Mark after she was voted off the show, Mark admitted that he was happy to just be friends.

'Emily is a lovely person and a very pretty girl but there is no romantic interest there for me and I am not interested in starting a relationship with her,' he told The Sun.

'When you are in the jungle you have a bit of a friendly flirt but that is as far as it went. I am single and want to be on my own. I won't deny she is a good catch but that is not how I feel about her.'

However, it's likely that the pair will cross paths when Emily makes her appearance at Essex club, Faces, this Friday night.

She's been hired by nightclub promotion company Sintillate to show off her DJing skills in the UK alongside Dane Bowers and DJ Richard Stone.

JESSICA-Jane Clement clocked a peek at her cleavage on a night out with Mark Wright — making sure she wasn't busting out of her clingy frock

The gorgeous brunette took her hairdresser fiancé Lee Stafford in Nu Bar, Loughton, Essex, for drinks with her I'm A Celebrity pals Mark Wright, Fatima Whitbread and Pat Sharp.
She rocked a blue wrap dress that accentuated her curves and black peep-toe heels.
But beautiful blonde Emily Scott — who Mark invited to TOWIE land before snubbing her advances — was nowhere to be seen.
Not that Mark noticed, mind — he was busy cosying up to Pat's daughter Charlotte.
The 24-year-old even managed to plant a smacker on her cheek as she looked down bashfully.

Emotional Mark, wearing a smart black shirt, burst into tears when he was reunited with his dad and gran Nanny Pat at the nightspot.
His sister Jessica Wright and TOWIE pal James "Arg" Argent were also at the party.
Arg wore a purple jumper and his trademark bow tie while Jessica rocked a pink skin-tight dress with a slash across the front.
Mark, who struck up a friendship with Dougie Poynter in the jungle, has revealed that after his return insecure Arg asked if they were still best mates.
Earlier today Mark told ITV presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on This Morning: "'No lie, Arg was texting my mum asking 'can I speak to him yet, can I speak to him yet?'

"So I called him and the first thing he said to me was, 'Mark what's gonna happen between me and you?'"
Mark continued: "I said, 'What do you mean?' and he said, 'It looks like you've grown to be great friends with Antony and Dougie.'
"When I put the phone down he text saying, 'Please tell me the truth, am I still your best friend?'"
At the end of series three of TOWIE, Mark and Arg filmed tearful scenes as Mark told his pal that he would be "going away for a while".

I'm a Celebrity Jessica-Jane Clement and Fatima Whitbread arrive back from the jungle to their home comforts

Happy to be home, ladies? Jessica-Jane Clement and Fatima Whitbread arrive back from the jungle to their home comforts

They've spent the past three weeks sleeping rough in the jungle, living on meagre food rations and surrounded by all sort of creepy-crawlies.

So it was no wonder that Jessica-Jane Clement and Fatima Whitbread looked delighted to be back in London, no doubt ready to embrace their home comforts.

Jessica-Jane beamed at the cameras as she made her way through Terminal 5 at Heathrow airport, with her hairdresser fiancé Lee Stafford by her side.

In skinny jeans, towering peep-toe heels and a leather jacket, the 26-year-old looked refreshed after her long-haul flight from Australia.


Fatima, 50, looked equally delighted to be home and waved at the cameras and gave a thumbs-up.

As she walked alongside her son Ryan, she held up a small plastic tub containing the cockroach that had been up her nose during one of the Bushtucker Trials.

The Olympian also looked like she'd lost weight having left the jungle looking a lot slimmer than when she first walked in.
She and Jessica were followed off the plane by their fellow contestant, DJ Pat Sharp, who looked very tanned as he pushed his case through the airport.
He was joined by his wife Monica who stopped with him to pose for pictures before making their way home.

Also on their flight was presenter Declan Donnelly, who Tweeted a picture of himself from his first class seat holding up a glass of champagne.

The night before he Tweeted another picture, but this time it was one of him standing in between Jessica-Jane and Emily Scott at the show's wrap party, and he looked delighted to be in the position he was in.

Australian model Emily spent a lot of her time in the jungle engaging in a rather flirtatious relationship with The Only Way Is Essex star Mark Wright, who was runner-up to winner Dougie Poynter.

She even said she would love to visit Mark in Essex and met his family when they jetted over to Australia to welcome him out of the jungle.

Emily and Mark were said to be inseparable at the show's wrap party, but according to reports today, Mark has dismissed their jungle romance as a bit of fun, leaving Emily fuming.

According to the Daily Star, Emily fled home in a mood after Mark reportedly ended all chance of a relationship between them.


Fizzled out: Despite their flirting and obvious chemistry in the jungle, reports today have said that Emily Scott and Mark Wright will not be rekindling their fun now the show is over

Emily is due to visit the UK later this week but she said she will not be chasing Mark but would like to see him and added: 'We'll have a catch-up. I wouldn't say date, but we are definitely friends.'
The model now has her sights set on fellow Aussie Peter Andre, who joined some of the celebrities in the jungle and said: 'I've got the whole world to choose from now, not just the camp. I would love to meet Peter one day, that would be super-cool.'

I'm A Celebrity 2011: McFly bassist Dougie Poynter crowned King Of The Jungle

I'm A Celebrity 2011: McFly bassist Dougie Poynter crowned King Of The Jungle after beating Mark Wright

Dougie Poynter has been crowned King Of The Jungle after winning this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

McFly bassist, 24, was stunned after beating former bookies favourite Mark Wright: 'I'm lost for words. My mouth is so dry. It's been the best couple of week in my life.'

The Essex-native was presented with his crown by hosts of the ITV2 spin-off show, Laura Whitmore and Joe Swash.

After strutting down the walkway, he was greeted by his jubilant McFly bandmate Tom Fletcher.

Despite being runner-up, The Only Way Is Essex star and club promoter Mark, 24, was a gracious loser.

He said: There couldn't be a bit winner. He's the nicest, kindest person in the whole wide world. He deserves every minute of it.'

During their joint interview before finding out the winner, Dougie admitted he was surprised to have ended up in the final at all.

He said: 'I didn't do anything, I felt like I just chilled in my hammock the whole time.'

Mark enthused: 'It's the most amazing experience of my whole life.'

Dougie admitted they had been sick repeated times following their Bushtucker Trial the previous night.

Before finding out he hadn't won, Mark insisted: 'I've won being here... I can't be a loser today. It's not a competition. It's an experience of a lifetime and I've loved every minute.'

The show I was on before, it's kinda real-life, but you have to exaggerate. when I used to watch it back, I used to say that's really exaggerated. On this show, I'm totally me.'


Who will it be: Mark and Dougie had a joint interview with Ant and Dec before finding out who was crowned King Of The Jungle

When asked about a potential romance with Emily Scott, Mark said: 'Emily's a very good looking girl and a lovely girl to be around. We'll see when she gets out. She can come to Essex, we can hang out, everyone can come to Essex.'

Dougie was announced the winner after the pair went head to head in their final Bushtucker trial 'The final Party'.

They each had to eat a disgusting drink, starter, main course and dessert made of weird jungle concoctions, which would be worth a tastier alternative back at camp later on.

Mark started off the trial by drinking blended cockroaches, which left him retching.

Dougie didn't even wait to hear from Ant and Dec about what he was drinking and quickly downed a 'bloody scary' of blended emu liver.

He said: 'It wasn’t that bad it tasted like blood and liver yeah.'

For the start, Mark struggled to eat a 'beachworm bruschetta', which featured two alive beachworms.

He struggled to eat them because they were so chewy and wriggling in his mouth.

After finally swallowing them, he lamented: 'That was worse than the drink.'

Dougie nearly threw up after eating his starter of 'sushi degrotto' - made of a witchetty grub.

Mark decided to change his approach and imagine his main course of cricket crudité’ - a king cricket served with vomit fruit dipping sauce - was Peking duck.

After swallowing it, he declared: 'That was horrific it tasted like… sick.'

Dougie struggled to eat his main course Dim Bum - an ostrich's anus - and had Mark providing support by saying: 'It’s just a bit of meat, eat it like it is a bit of meat sitting here like we are having a Chinese meal.'


Not every appetising: Mark's main course was cricket crudité¿ - a king cricket served with vomit fruit dipping sauce - while Dougie had the ostrich anus

Finally, Mark's dessert was fish-eyed oysters, which he had to chew a lot on the optic nerve.

But poor Dougie ended up with one of the foulest dishes - a bush pig penis chopped into sections.

As he chewed on one of the sections, Dougie cried: 'Penis tastes so bad!'

Amy Childs proves reality TV can make you rich

Girl who proves reality TV can make you rich (no matter how little talent you have)


A year ago she was earning £190 a week in a salon. Now Amy Childs is on her way to a £10 million fortune. Here she reveals how she did it...



By Lisa Sewards

Last updated at 11:36 AM on 3rd December 2011


Amy Childs is now a bonafide brand, which is no mean feat considering that a year ago she was virtually unknown.

For the few who are still asking, Amy is Britain’s best-loved Essex girl and the breakout star from the Bafta-winning reality/drama series The Only Way Is Essex - or TOWIE as it’s known to its millions of fans - which has just finished its third series.

A beautician by trade, Amy shone in the first two series of the cult show, with her airhead charm and inane chit-chat (remember the classic: ‘Who done the dictionary? Wasn’t he from Essex?’), not to mention her love of blinging beauty treatments.

She was also first to utter the term ‘well jel’ (very jealous), which caught on instantly.

‘I meant to say jealous,’ she confides, ‘but I was so angry with Kirk [Norcross, her on-off lover], that it came out as jel. Before I knew it, it’d gone global on Twitter.’

And now her unlikely star quality has catapulted her from an Essex beauty parlour to the pages of Vogue magazine and beyond.

She took a cleverly calculated risk by leaving TOWIE at the end of its second series for a stint on Celebrity Big Brother, hoping it would be the launchpad for her own show, a risk that paid off handsomely with her eight-part Channel 5 series, It’s All About Amy, which sees her open a salon.

‘TOWIE was huge and I’d become a celebrity overnight,’ says Amy, 21, ‘but I realised I had to leave.

'I was a massive character in the first series, with my on/off romance with Kirk, but they started scaling me back in series two when that ended. I wanted to go out on a high.’

Inevitably, Amy’s departure created resentment among the cast, with co-star Lauren Goodger saying they barely noticed her absence.


Desperate or daring? Amy stripped off to promote her new Channel 5 show, letting her body do the talking

But Amy will not be drawn into backbiting, simply saying: 'People will see the real me in my new show, whereas in TOWIE I was edited to look stupid, like when Kirk took me to the zoo and they made it look as if I didn’t know what elephants or giraffes were. I’m not clever, but I do have common sense.’

She says heartthrob Mark Wright, who is starring in I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! suffers in the same way.

‘I’m glad he’s doing well in the jungle. He gets portrayed in TOWIE as a ladies’ man but really he’s quite shy. To me he’s just a lovely mate. Anyway, the show got very competitive. I have no regrets about leaving.’

Which is hardly surprising as Amy is predicted to earn a cool £10 million from TV shows and endorsements in the next few years.

This may be a conservative estimate considering she’s already become the face of Tesco’s Bra Queen lingerie range, set up the Amy Childs Collection clothing range (which caused such a frenzy when it launched online that the website crashed), shot a calendar and is making a fitness DVD – and now has her own beauty salon.

On It’s All About Amy we see her interviewing staff and choosing uniforms and decor for the business.

‘I can’t believe I have my own beauty salon – it’s a dream come true,’ she says. ‘Can I tell you a big secret? My beauty salon in TOWIE wasn’t real – it was all fake and set up in mum and dad’s garage.

'I can’t believe people didn’t know. The salon where I was working when I started on the show didn’t want to be part of it.’

At that stage, Amy was earning £190 a week at her salon job and was living with her parents in Brentwood, Essex – as she still does, despite becoming a star.

When we meet there she apologises for looking ‘lowdown’ (dressed down), but is, in fact, stunning.

Her flame-coloured hair is swept back into a ponytail, revealing Bambi eyes and pouty lips in an elfin face even more beautiful without her trademark layers of foundation – although the fake eyelashes are ever-present.

My beauty salon in TOWIE wasn’t real – it was all fake and set up in Mum and Dad’s garage. I can’t believe people didn’t know...

She says she’s toning down the make-up to ‘cope with the HD cameras’ for the new show but she promises – by a ‘millyan pah cent’ – there’ll still be plenty of glamour.

It seems we can always rely on Amy to provide the glamour, right down to the bling white Range Rover she’s just bought.

‘I would have loved white leather seats, but with the fake tan I wear it would have been a disaster,’ she giggles. And when the car dealer asked for her occupation, she was stumped.

‘I thought, “Oh my God, what am I? Model, reality star, beautician or what?” I’m just a girl from Essex but I’ve gone global. I’ve never worked as hard as I have in the last year.’

Amy says she inherited her work ethic from parents Julie, 45, and Billy, 48, who both grew up in poverty in London’s East End. Billy now has two flower stall pitches and three shops and raised his family in a spacious detached home, while Julie worked her way up to running a hairdressing salon.

‘Both Mum and Dad worked round the clock to send me and my older brother Billy to private school.

They also worked hard to pay for extra tuition for me because I was diagnosed with dyslexia,’ says Amy.

‘Mum didn’t want me to be the brightest, she just wanted me not to struggle and to enjoy school.’

It paid off as Amy became head girl, even if she was often in trouble for applying make-up during lessons. ‘That’s just me. I just couldn’t help it. I love glamour,’ she giggles.
