The 24-year-old allegedly didn't receive her passport in time to fly out to Australia for the show.

But it seems things are looking up for the mum-of-two and she's off to the jungle after all, if her latest tweets are anything to go by.
Josie wrote: "Booooooooooooom! Things are looking up!
She then added: "I wanna scream, and shout, and let it all out!!!!!! waves hands in the air like a mad man [sic]"

The news she would be entering the jungle originally was met with huge backlash, with many questioning what Josie is actually famous for.
She first came to prominence after she received a £4,300 boob job on the NHS, and then claimed she would abort her then-unborn baby for a chance to go on Big Brother.
Since then Josie has managed to court controversy on a regular basis, by selling tickets to the birth of her daughter, and continuing to smoke and drink alcohol during her pregnancy.
Tweeting earlier in the week, Josie further fuelled rumours that she was going down under by making vile comments about fellow rumoured contestant Jake Quickenden.
She wrote: "Jake Quickenden going in the jungle!? Phwoar, I'd let him put his penis in so deep he'd need King Arthur to pull it out."
