Yes, so I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Heremay not be on our screens for another month at least, but we are so excited to see our favourite celebs eating a crocodile penis, we could cry a little bit.
One soap star in talks with joining the ITV show, was Corrie's Julie Goodyear, but she has declined all offers from bosses for a very interesting reason indeed.
Julie Goodyear turned down I'm A Celeb because she wasn't allowed to smoke on the 23-hour plane journey. The soap veteran smokes up to 100 fags a day and even offered to travel to Oz by BOAT, but producers said no.
We wonder why.

A boat trip to Australia (according to The Sun) would take up to 40 days and tickets can cost up to £4,000 each way.
The 75-year-old, who's known for playing Bet Lynch on Coronation Street, was really keen to enter the jungle this year, but couldn't forgo the ciggies for a whole day.
"A 23-hour flight without frequent cigarette breaks was out of the question for the chain-smoking soap diva." said ex producer Lisa Mary London, who has lifted the lid on the celeb world in her new book Reality Rehab.
** Should Julie have been allowed to take a 40 day boat? Let us know on Facebook and Twitter.**
