I’m A Celebrity: Emily Atack looks petrified as she PARACHUTES onto a beach

She will be plunged into the critter-infested I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle in Sunday’s big launch.

And Emily Atack, 28, ensured she made an arrival no-one would forget, as she parachuted onto the beach at Lennox Head, near Byron Bay, Australia, on Saturday. 

Clad in a bright yellow boiler suit, The Inbetweeners actress looked petrified as she soared through the skies and landed on the sand to join her fellow campmates from the ‘Yellow Team’ – singer Fleur East, The Vamps guitarist James McVey, The Chase’s Anne Hegerty and EastEnders actress Rita Simons. 

The blonde beauty seemed gripped with fear as she descended to the beach, with a professional behind her guiding them both to a safe landing. 

After the adrenaline ride, Emily seemed relieved to be back on firm ground and grinned as she took off her safety goggles and ran to join her fellow teammates. 

Scraping her golden tresses back into a simple updo and appearing to forgo make-up, the actress appeared to already be embracing the understated jungle look.  

Emily will be joined on the show by a series of famous faces, including football legend Harry Redknapp and TV presenter Nick Knowles.

After landing on the beach, the Yellow Team sprinted to an aptly-coloured yellow jeep, which ferried them across the sand to their next location. 

TV icon Noel Edmonds is rumoured to be a last minute addition to the line-up, earning a reported £500k for his inclusion. 

It will be the first year that Declan Donnelly will have presented the show without his beloved sidekick Ant McPartlin by his side. 

Ant is taking a year off work to deal with his personal demons and close friend Holly Willoughby is going to be filling in for him. 

The show’s stalwart, Medic Bob, has said Holly is the ‘most scared’ he has ever seen anyone on the series as she has a phobia of most bugs.

After landing at Brisbane airport, Emily said: ‘I’m young and single so I’m open to love wherever it might be.

‘I’m really happy John Barrowman’s in there. I know he’s gay, but still I would quite like to cuddle up with him. I’m a huge fan of John, I’m so happy he’s going in.’

It was recently claimed that Emily went on a string of dates with Strictly star Seann Walsh in 2016, when he was still in a relationship with Rebecca Humphries. 

The comedian hit headlines last month when he was pictured kissing his married dancing partner Katya Jones on his then girlfriend Rebecca’s birthday. They have since split.
