Kerri-Anne Kennerley said no to appearing on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here for 12 years. So what made the Australian TV legend finally say yes? Beauty demands, of course.
We often think about what top three items we’d want with us if we were stuck on a desert island (sunscreen, deodorant and a hair tie, duh) but the jungle is a whole different ball game.
And considering her time at camp would be televised across the country, Kerri-Anne’s appearance was subject to “a few provisos”.
Kerri-Anne’s beauty demands for ‘I’m A Celebrity…’
Speaking to news.com.au, Kerri-Anne confirmed the obvious. AKA she’s getting a big fat pay cheque for her time on I’m A Celebrity... but that’s not all.
“I get to take makeup,” she said. “Natural is very overrated.”
And in case you were wondering, it hasn’t taken long for the other contestants to notice her ‘special treatment’. A preview of tonight’s episode shows ex-MAFS star Domenica Calarco confronting the issue.
“I was just wondering … how does one get allowed face wash and makeup in the jungle?” she asks Kerri-Anne.
To which the 69-year-old responds, “Umm, one gets allowed it when one makes it a condition of coming in. And that was an actual deal-breaker.”
Prior to going into the jungle, Kerri-Anne said that if another contestant were to be jealous of her creature comforts, “they should just get better management”. So we think it’s safe to say she won’t be sharing her face wash with Dom.
She’s also not the first celebrity to work some conditions into her contract. In 2016, Shane Warne was famously given permission to smoke throughout his appearance on the show.
Cigarettes or foundation, we know which one we’re asking for.
Are you watching ‘I’m A Celebrity…’? What beauty demands would you make for going into the jungle?
I need to watch TV again – ICGMOOH sounds so fun! Love KAK!! Been too busy for a couple of years that TV has gone by the wayside – oh yeah and I need to get the antanna fixed too!
Not following the show, but why not.
Good on her, she’s a lady who knows what she wants and she gets it!
Yep. She knows the Industry & knows all about contracts.
I am not watching ‘I’m A Celebrity but I am sure that Kerrie will be great.
Same here 🙂
Don’t have tv, not into it. Well, always set the t & C yourself for sure
Never watched it, I don’t watch commercial television.
Not watched it yet. I would want hand cream, lip balm, moisturiser ad S/S
I think sunscreen would be a fair request but really if you are in a jungle you would just want water and protection and perhaps mozzie repellant
water would be a given on the show
If you don’t ask you dint receive. Life advice lol
If you want all the luxuries it is not the right assignment for you . Get real
I’ve seen the show & it’s ridiculous, so I won’t watch it again.
I could put up with a lot, but I wouldn’t eat most of the things in their challenges. I’m on an offal, anus & genital-free diet.
🤣
Same here, find it disgusting, so I don’t watch either. They should be eating more plants lol.
No for me either but it is not a beauty challenge and I would prefer to see people dealing with the challenges and testing themselves rather than worrying about how they look
Yuk -I don’t think I could eat those either
KAK hardly seems to age. I’d love to know the rest of her beauty routine.
Botox and filler. She’s gone way too far with her cheeks – In my opinion.
I don’t watch the show
Id want sunscreen for sure.
Personally can’t stand her. She’s entitled. I love the show though and watch it every year. Hope she’s the first one to leave.
I don’t particularly like her either. I find her grating
I’m an all for one and one for all lady. So I think everyone should be allowed it. If they want it.
Agree with that Perthchick. Seems odd to let only one have makeup.
totally or all none
It is evident she takes good care of skin for age and wants to continue that.
Good on her for insisting on what she wanted before she signed. Imagine going on a show in the jungle WITHOUT sunscreen, moisturiser etc. No thank you. Actually I can’t imagine going on anything like that but I applaud her.
willing to bend the rules, works in favour for both show and KAK
Not suprised, but unfair for the other contestants.
I don’t follow the show but I saw half an episode this week and wandered why she had so much makeup on and no one else appeared to have any. She’s not one of my favourite people.
Don’t watch it but she left the show voluntarily after a couple of days.
not surprised
For sure I know which I would choose between Cigarettes or foundation. Would not be difficult
I try to avoid TV reality shows but had a sneaky squizz just to see KAK. Sunscreen and moisturizer would be non negotiable for me.
Wouldn’t watch it but I guess the contestants are brave to do what they have to. (I’ve seen the previews!)
lol glad she got her stuff
Too funny
I do watch it sometimes and interesting some conditions in contracts.
