The 'Geordie Shore' star has teased she will be jetting off Down Under later this year to share her hammock with creepy crawlies and deadly animals of the outback while living on a basic diet of rice and beans when the TV show, hosted by Ant and Dec, returns to screens in December.

The 26-year-old beauty took to her Twitter account yesterday (11.05.16) in response to the programme's social media site announcing the beauty's upcoming venture.

The site wrote: "NEWS: Geordie Shore's @SophieKasaei_ is amongst the rumoured to be entering the jungle this year... " to which she replied: "Shhhhhhhhhh (sic)."

However, Sophie's former co-star and the reigning Queen of the Jungle Vicky Pattison doesn't think the show will allow another geordie contestant to take her crown.

She said recently: "I can't imagine they would pick another 'Geordie Shore' star [to compete on the programme] after I won it last year. It doesn't seem likely to me."

Meanwhile, Sophie returned to the MTV series on Monday (09.05.16) after she was dramatically axed three years ago following reports she had been making racist comments.

And, despite being nervous ahead of her return, she was pleasantly surprised when she was swamped with warm welcomes from her friend Charlotte Crosby.

Speaking previously she said: "I was absolutely s****ing myself. The day I went in, my bumhole was literally so big that poo was going to come out. I was concerned about how I was going to look. I was like, 'Am I going to look fat on TV again?' The girls are looking amazing at the minute. I was concerned about my appearance."
