Priceless moment newsreader realises she's back on air

Network Ten has revealed the identity of two stars who will be heading into the jungle for I’m a Celeb.

Gogglebox stars Angie Kent and Yvie Jones will be two of the campmates on the fifth season of the reality show when it launches this Sunday.

The two friends, who quit Gogglebox in December, said they never thought they’d ever get the chance to appear on I’m a Celeb.

“I am a massive fan of watching celebrities do absurd things in the jungle but I never thought I would be one of those people doing it,” Angie said. “I cannot wait to get up close and personal with Lady JMO and Dr Chris!”

Yvie added, “I cannot believe we have spent four seasons watching, laughing and commentating on this show from inside our living room and now we will be the ones being laughed at!”

The announcement comes after Ten all but gave away the identity of another campmate with a fairly obvious clue.

The clue teased: “From breaking headlines, to making headlines, we are sending an infamous newsreader on their toughest assignment yet. No stranger to war torn regions, this veteran journalist has been in the firing line in more ways than one after an on-air gaffe left them squarely in the naughty corner.”

So who could it be?
Our money is on Natasha Exelby whom you might recall from that on-air gaffe that went viral a couple of years ago.

ABC News 24 presenter Natasha Exelby nearly jumped out of her chair when she momentarily failed to realise that she was on air.

The ABC news presenter was benched by the ABC in 2017 after a three-second gaffe where she was busted daydreaming during a live bulletin.

Exelby, as the clue says, is no stranger to warn torn regions having worked as a foreign correspondent in countries including Syria and Turkey and has a history with Network Ten having been one of the inaugural hosts of failed breakfast show, Wake Up!

Wake Up stars: Natasha Exelby, Natarsha Belling and James Mathison.
