BERIC and Barbara Willcox, the parents of actress Toyah, will be nervously glued to their television set until the end of their daughter's trial in jungle hell.

Toyah, who lives in Pershore, is one of ten willing victims staring in the hit ITV show I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

The winner will become King or Queen of the Jungle.

Toyah's 82-year-old father, who also lives in the Vale with his wife Barbara, has pledged to give no interviews until after the show finishes.

He did say however: "It's terrible for parents, you have no idea what it is like.

"We won't be able to see Toyah or contact her ourselves until after the show, and will be nervously watching her at each episode."

Millions tuned into the first hour and a half show on Monday which saw Toyah and her fellow jungle mates initiated into the creepy crawly dangerous world of an Australian rainforest.

Other celebrities she'll be rubbing shoulders with until she's voted out of the camp include the TV chef Antony Worrall-Thompson, dancer Wayne Sleep and former footballer John Fashanu.

She said on Monday: "I don't think I want to be touching spiders or eating bugs." She was filmed relaxing in her bath doing "absolutely nothing" as part of her training Toyah said.

She was allowed two luxury items and she chose her tweezers "to stop my eyebrows joining together" and hot water.

The idea of the show is to encourage viewers to ring in to vote to punish contestants who annoy them by nominating a celebrity for a really unpleasant challenge, and ultimately determine who stay and who goes.
