Nadia’s plea to her friend Debbie: Get out here...

-

NADIA FORDE’S best friend, Debbie O’Leary, will be waiting for her when her jungle experience is over.

The Diary can reveal that Debbie, the fiancée of rugby ace Peter Stringer, will fly to Australia next week.

I’m A Celebrity contestant­s always have family or friends meet them on the bridge when they are voted out. Debbie and Nadia have been friends for years and the two models are extremely close.

Debbie is engaged to former Ireland internatio­nal and Munster star Stringer. She lives in Britain as Stringer now plays for Aviva Premiershi­p side Bath.

Perhaps Nadia’s not feeling too confident if she’s asked Debbie to be there on standby from next week.

But she’s already managed to boost herprofile by mak- ing that bark bikini. And Nadia got an even bigger boost this weekend when X Factor judge Louis Walsh weighed in behind her jungle efforts.

Walsh first saw the wannabe singer and model in her 3e reality TV series, Nadia Goes To Hollywood. And he believes she has what it takes to become the queen of the jungle.

‘I think it was a quirky show,’ said Louis. ‘I didn’t know who she was, although she reminded me of a younger, curvier Cheryl Cole. ‘She is a good Irish girl doing well so I hope she goes on and win it,’ Louis added.

‘Yes, she has the X Factor.’ Appearing on I’m A Celebrity is a huge boost for Nadia, who may be moderately well known in Ireland but is a complete unknown in Britain.
