A BBC star has turned down I'm a Celebrity and revealed while she'll never do the show. <\/p>\n
Historian Mary Beard, presenter of BBC series Civilisations, won't be taking part in the I'm a Celebrity bushtucker trials any time soon. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
She is mum to grown-up children Zoe and Raphael and Mary has told how they've begged her not to sign up for the show. <\/p>\n
Speaking to The Times, Mary said: "I had to discuss it with the kids, because they weren\u2019t kids then, and they said \u2018Don\u2019t you dare do it, don\u2019t you dare!\u2019"<\/p>\n
As well as her work on Civilisations and documentaries about the Romans, Mary is also Professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge, a fellow of Newnham College, and Royal Academy of Arts Professor of Ancient Literature.<\/p>\n
But although Mary has ruled out any bushtucker trials, someone who I'm a Celeb fans could be seeing when the show returns later this year is First Dates star Fred Sirieix.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A TV insider recently told The Sun: \u201cShow bosses hope he\u2019ll be a hit with the ladies watching, which is part of the reason they\u2019ve targeted him.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone\u2019s really excited that they\u2019re close to signing him up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Others said to be up for the next series include\u00a0This Morning\u2019s Josie Gibson.<\/p>\n
