Jessika Power looks set to appear on the upcoming season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia.
Insiders told Daily Mail Australia that the former Married At First Sight bride, 32, is ‘desperate’ to make a return to TV screens, with her agent Max Markson allegedly pulling out all the stops to secure her a coveted spot in the jungle.
‘Jessika is determined to keep her name in the headlines,’ a source close to the star revealed.
‘She’s been pitching herself for anything and everything – she knows she needs another big show to keep her profile alive.’
The whispers come after Channel Nine teased that a ‘spicy’ reality star would be appearing on the upcoming series.
Daily Mail Australia recently revealed that MAFS alum Martha Kalifatidis turned down a $80,000 offer to appear on next year’s show.

‘Martha just didn’t need it—she’s in a different league now,’ a TV insider spilled.
‘But Jessika? She’s hungry for it. She knows it could be a big payday and a way to stay relevant in the fast-moving world of reality TV.’
Jessika, who shot to fame as the scandalous villain of MAFS 2019, has since dabbled in various projects, including appearances on Big Brother VIP and a brief stint on UK reality show Celebs Go Dating.
While her antics have made her a favourite among reality TV fans, her career has struggled to gain the traction of some of her MAFS peers.
‘Her agent, Max, is working overtime,’ the source continued.
‘He’s pitching her to producers and talking up her ability to bring drama and entertainment to the jungle. Jess knows how to stir the pot—that’s what makes her TV gold.’
If Jessika does make her way to the jungle, fans can expect plenty of fireworks.
Known for her unapologetically blunt personality and headline-grabbing feuds, she’s sure to spice up the camp dynamics.

However, not everyone is convinced she’s the right fit.
‘She’ll have to prove she’s more than just a reality TV diva,’ the insider said.
‘People love a redemption arc – maybe the jungle is where she can show a different side of herself.’
