Every year, a new selection of stars head into the Australian jungle to take part in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.

Presented by Ant and Dec, the gruelling reality show sees the campmates take part in challenges in a bid to win food for camp. Viewers have watched more than 200 celebrities tackle the gruelling tasks, but there is one star who they will unlikely see on the show.

Rapper Ivorian Doll, who has appeared on Ex on the Beach and expressed an interest in going on Love Island, revealed I'm A Celeb is where she draws the line.

Speaking at the shoot of Getting Lippy, presented by Slingo, IVD said: "This is where I draw the line. I'm scared of I'm A Celebrity. I was asked, but I have a huge phobia of spiders."

Despite her team insisting that she could do hypnosis to help conquer her fear of spiders, IVD simply confessed: "I can't do it."

The internet personality admitted she could cope giving up luxuries such as makeup, however, said she would get too emotional when it came to taking part in bushtucker trials.

"No make-up is fine, it's just that because I'd start crying if they asked me to do a challenge," IVD said. "It's just challenges that involve going through things and bugs on your ears."

Elsewhere on the podcast, IVD opened up about how she broke into the music industry, revealing how perseverance was key to achieving her dream.

She explained: "Six years ago now I was in a duo at the time with my friend. I think she was like to me, 'Let's make a song'. Then we ended up putting the song out and it did so well."

This led IVD and her collaborator to release a second song, all while their fanbase began to grow.

"We started creating a small fanbase, because I used to do YouTube, my YouTube fanbase turned into my music fanbase," she explained.

IVD went on to enjoy success as a solo artist after she fell out with her former music partner, adding: "I just kept going. I'm here now because I kept going and enjoyed it."

Earlier this year, IVD opened for Nicki Minaj at Wireless festival, revealing the rapper only gave her two hours notice before she was set to perform on stage.

"We'd been speaking so I had an idea that she'd ask me to perform," the musician added. "And it was the best time of my life, it was amazing."
