After landing in Australia, Scarlette explained: 'I am not the best with creepy crawlies and I hear they are supersized here so wish me luck with that. I am more of a glamper so this is going to be interesting if I was to go camping' reports The Mirror.
She added: I am super competitive and I have two older brothers so I have always had to compete for the limelight being the only girl. I am really looking forward to getting stuck in.'
Scarlette continued: 'I am looking for love potentially, haha. I just like a good honest and trustworthy man, thats it. But I did hear there might be a man in the jungle with a good set of muscles. So if I head to the jungle I would like to see a muscley guy. I am looking for a Tarzan out there.'

The property expert added that though she would like to win the show, the experience is more about 'making new friends' and doing things she wouldn't normally have the chance to do.

It has been reported that Tindall will receive a £150,000 payday for his appearance on the show.

He's in! And now Mike, 44, is the seventh contestant to have confirmed his place on the show by arriving in the country, which he has described as a 'special place' because it is where he met his wife, Zara Phillips, 41
Mike, who married King Charles' niece Zara in 2011, told The Sun: 'It's probably one of the longest times we've been away completely with no communication. When you go away you still have communication, so that's obviously going to be the hardest bit.
Mike told how Australia is special to him because it is where he met his now wife Zara in 2003.
The couple met at at the Manly Wharf bar in Sydney during the Rugby World Cup.
Arriving on Friday, Mike told The Sun: 'Australia is a special place yeah, I met Zara in Sydney. There is no holiday planned at the moment afterwards. '
The former rugby player told the Daily Mail in 2011, that '[Zara] was on her gap year and in Australia with friends. Clive (Woodward, the coach) had just told me I was dropped for the semi-final, so I went out for a beer with two others who weren't playing, Martin Corry and Austin Healey.'
After they met for the first time, Zara left her number with a friend to pass on to Mike.
He said: 'Later on, Austin gave me her number and said, 'She wants you to text her, to say where you're all going out after the final so she can come along.'

'You've just got to get your head around doing what you're doing and try and win some stars and stuff and see where you go from there. I want to win stars because I want to eat!
'The hanger is always going to be the biggest thing you have got to worry about but I've also got three kids, so dealing with lack of sleep comes with the territory.'
Popular culture and brand expert Nick Ede previously told MailOnline that the show will be a great move for 'brand Tindall'.
'I am sure Mike will have been paid in excess of £150,000 to appear, but the true value of the show is what you do after it,' he said.
'Whether he gets a prime role as a sports pundit or panelist or host of a show who knows but for 'brand Tindall' this is a great step and will increase his celebrity equity ten fold. All eyes will be on Mike this year.'
He also believes that Mike's 'devotion' to his royal wife Zara, 41, made him popular with Brits, after he married into the Royal Family and became the son-in-law of Princess Anne in 2011.
He added: 'There may well be two kings in the Royal Family this year - one of the crown and one of the jungle.'
