10 things you never knew about Janice Dickinson

Bold, brash and in-your-face, Janice Dickinson erupted onto our screens in I'm A Celebrity... on Monday and is already threatening to stab fellow contestants and eat their boobs. She calls herself "the world's first supermodel" after gracing the cover of thousands of magazines in the '70s and was a modelling wildchild when Naomi Campbell was still hacking the hair off her Girl's World. She is now an Aids activist, reality TV regular, agent, actor, photographer and writer of two memoirs, not to mention being supple enough to wrap her legs around her neck. Phew! Read on to discover ten eye-popping facts about the woman who'll have us screaming at our tellies for the next two weeks.

1. Janice was born in Brooklyn, New York, to an abusive Belarusian father and a drug-addict half-Polish mother.

2. Janice fancied being a photojournalist as a child and now lists photographer among her many accomplishments. She has pointed her camera in the direction of such celebs as Angelina Jolie, Naomi Campbell, Sharon Stone and late soul icon James Brown.

3. Janice claims she was partly to blame for her dad's demise because she tossed his heart medication out of the car window on his way to hospital before he died. "Maybe I wanted to kill the abuser," she suggests.

4. Janice has been divorced three times. She has a 20-year-old son, Nathan, with her third husband and a 13-year-old daughter, Savannah, from another relationship.

5. Janice was betrothed to a certain Sylvester Stallone for six months in 1994. He sent her packing after finding out that Savannah was not his flesh and blood, later describing his romance with her as “like hanging in Satan’s armpit”. Mmm, we'll take your word for it on that one if you don't mind, Sly.

6. Janice vowed to always make time for her legions of fans after being snubbed by Sir Sean Connery at the age of 19. She recalls: "I asked for his autograph and he said: 'No, don't bother me right now, I'm sunbathing.' I thought to myself 'you motherf*****, who the f*** do you think you are?'"

7. Janice's 1000-plus conquests include Liam Neeson, who allegedly has "the biggest penis of any man alive", and Mick Jagger, whom she likened to "making out with a sea bass". We know which description most men would prefer...

8. While woozy from her drugs and booze lifestyle, Janice fell off a catwalk into the lap of Hollywood legend Sophia Loren.

9. Janice is not a fan of the size-zero debate. She insists: "Models are supposed to be thin. They're not supposed to eat." Surely not a controversial opinion falling from Janice's lips? We wouldn't believe it if we hadn't read it with our own eyes.

10. Janice has her eye on Sir Paul McCartney. She gushes: “He was my favourite Beatle and I fell for him years ago. I’ve contacted him after seeing what he’s gone through with Heather Mills. She’s a fool.” Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire. Run, Sir Paul, run!
