Nadine, who travelled to the Australian bush as one of the ‘I’m a Celebrity' contestants in 2019, will take part in one of five episodes of the programme.

Each episode will see four celebrities show off their baking prowess in a bid to be awarded the coveted Star Baker apron.

A few years ago a TV clip of Nadine discussing her love of the culinary arts went viral.

"I enjoy cooking, baking and stuff, working with flour," she said, with people going crazy over her Derry pronunciation of four.
