Victoria's Secret supermodel Leomie Anderson 'signs up for I'm A Celeb' after quitting BBC show

Victoria's Secret star Leomie Anderson has reportedly 'signed up' for I'm a Celebrity.

The supermodel, 33, made history in 2019 by becoming the first black British model to be named an Angel for the iconic lingerie brand.

Now, she is said to be preparing to swap the catwalk for the jungle after quitting her role as host of the BBC make-up series Glow Up.

A source for the ITV show told The Sun: 'Obviously Leomie looks sensational and bosses are over the moon she could be joining this year's line-up.

'But though Leomie is a glamorous model, she's also a tough cookie underneath.'

They added: 'She wants to show that anything is possible when you put your mind to it.'

Earlier this week, it was reported that Claire Sweeney is reportedly in advanced talks to join this year's line-up.

The actress, 55, is said to have a gap in her schedule after stepping back from Coronation Street in August.

Other stars in talks for next month's show include football's Wayne Rooney, Big Brother host AJ Odudu, Love Island's Chloe Burrows and Gavin & Stacey actress Joanna Page.

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will once again be at the helm, and the first teaser for the show was aired last week.

Last year's series launched with 11.3million viewers. Across all platforms, it reached 23.4million people, which is 38 per cent of the TV population.

Leomie became co-host of Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star in 2023, replacing Maya Jama. 

Stacey Dooley was the original host for series one and two in 2019 and 2020, while Maya followed for two series in 2021 and 2022.

But in September, Leomie announced that she would be leaving the show after three series on air.

She said: 'After three incredible seasons on Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-up Star, I have decided that I will be leaving, and handing the make-up brushes over to someone new.

'My Glow Up journey has been amazing, I have gotten to watch some incredibly talented MUAs express themselves, push themselves and grow from shy creatives to full on professional make-up artists.

'My Glow Up journey wouldn't have been the same without my fave's Val [Garland] and Dom [Skinner] and all the amazing guest judges that have come through.

'And also I wanted to say a massive thank you, to you, the audience, for tuning in, joining us in the comments and tagging us in all your amazing looks.'

Beyond modelling and TV, Leomie has built a reputation as an advocate for diversity and better treatment of models in the fashion industry. 

She founded LAPP The Brand and created the LAPP platform to discuss women's rights, body image and mental health.

The beauty has also given TEDx talks and spoken publicly about racial bias and inclusion in fashion.
