McFadden lands £200,000 I'm a Celebrity... Express deal

LONDON - Kerry McFadden, winner of 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!', has signed a 拢200,000 contract with Express Newspapers as the battle for exclusive media deals commences.

The former Atomic Kitten, who is married to Westlife singer Brian McFadden, will give exclusive interviews to Richard Desmond's Daily Star, Daily Express and OK! magazine.

However, Jordan, who was evicted from the show on Saturday, struck a 拢350,000 deal with the Star. Editors claim that the glamour model's story will sell more papers, not least because she is already a regular fixture but also because of her relationship with fellow contestant and former pop star Peter Andre.

There was an aggressive bidding war for Jordan's story after her eviction. Rivals the Daily Mirror and The Sun have each claimed that they have secured "exclusive" interviews with the 34FF silicone-enhanced model, but today's Star warned readers that it was "the only paper with the real stories -- do not accept cheap imitations".

Further speculation is mounting on what will become of the other contestants. Rumours are circulating that Jennie Bond could be in line to replace Robert Kilroy-Silk when the BBC daytime show returns to the screens.

Bookmakers have also slashed the odds from 50/1 to 3/1 on Peter Andre scoring a number one hit with his jungle-inspired song 'Insania'. Meanwhile, bookmakers are offering odds of 4/1 on Kerry McFadden having a UK number one single this year and 7/1 that she appears in an ad for electrical retailer Currys in 2004.
