Nadine Coyle is swapping luxury home comforts for basic rations in the sweltering Australian jungle.
Nadine Coyle found fame when she auditioned for the Irish version of Popstars back in 2001, making it to the final as part of a band called Six.
But she didn't stay in the group for too long, as she was forced to leave when it was revealed she'd lied about her age to enter the competition – saying she was 18, when she was actually 16.

Many people aren't too sure where to place Nadine's accent, and that's because it's a hybrid American-Derry accent.
Nadine grew up in Derry, Northern Ireland, before moving to London and then over to the States.
Speaking to the Independent.ie last year, Nadine shared her frustrations with people discussing her accent: "It’s almost like people think it’s ok to mention the Irish accent but what if I had any type of accent? Or from any other nation?
“It would be viewed as hugely disrespectful to pick up on the accent, on something that’s different. But because you’re Irish it’s alright to point and laugh."
