Joey Essex wants Chloe Sims to go on 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!'

The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star - who came in second place in the ITV reality show last year - has revealed he thinks his cousin and former co-star would be a great contestant.

He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I think Chloe would be great in the jungle because she's very opinionated. Yeah I think she would do really well in there Chloe. I think it would show a very honest side to her."

However, the 24-year-old hunk - who is dating his ex-fiance and former TOWIE co-star Sam Faiers - confessed he wasn't sure if she'd be as successful at the various challenges as he was.

Quizzed on whether he thinks Chloe would be able to stomach eating creepy crawlies and animal parts while attempting to survive in the Australian jungle with other celebrities, he said: "I'm not sure, it's one of those isn't it? You get there and you either do or you don't and you've just got to be brave."

He added: "It's a good show."
