Boris Becker’s ex-wife Lilly has signed up to appear on the German version of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
The Dutch model, 49, confirmed she had decided to join the show to the Mail’s Richard Eden and admitted she was worried about coming face to face with several of her biggest phobias.
She said: ‘I’ll be scared of facing my fears such as snakes, spiders, crickets, going on the water… and trying not to have a panic attack.’
Lilly’s upcoming appearance on the show comes just months after her ex-husband Boris, 57, married his third wife in September last year.
She and the former Wimbledon champion were married for nine years and welcomed son Amadeus, 14, together, before they confirmed their split in May 2018.
Boris had been declared bankrupt the year before – owing creditors £50million for an unpaid loan of more than £3m on his estate on the Spanish island of Mallorca.

The six-time grand slam champion was jailed in April 2022 for hiding £2.5m of assets and loans to avoid paying his debts.
He was found guilty of transferring hundreds of thousands from his business account to others and failing to declare a property in his hometown in Germany, while he was also convicted of hiding a £710,000 bank loan and 75,000 shares in a tech firm.
Boris was expected to remain in jail for half of his sentence but was approved for a fast-track scheme in which foreign citizens are deported if certain conditions are met.
He served eight months of a two-and-a-half-year sentence before being extradited to Germany in time for Christmas 2022.
The tennis star went on to tie the knot with Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro, 33, in Italy last year – marking his third time up the aisle.
He had previously been married to first wife, Barbara Feltus, from 1993 until 2001, after the Boris admitted to having an affair whilst she was pregnant with their second child.
His two sons with Barbara, Noah, 30, and Elias, 25, were in attendance at his wedding to Liliam, however conspicuous by their absence were Amadeus and his daughter Anna Ermakova, 24.
Model Anna was born after Boris had a one-night stand with Russian waitress Angela in the broom cupboard of London’s Nobu while first wife Barbara was in labour with Elias.

Lilly later said Boris had purposefully not invited Amadeus to his wedding, telling German magazine Bunte: ‘When I asked Amadeus about it, he was surprised. He didn’t know anything about it.
‘Of course he’s wondering why he wasn’t invited and that his father didn’t tell him anything about it.’
While she insisted that she wished her ex the best, she added that ‘behaving that way towards our son really is the last straw. Who doesn’t want him to come?’
And in November she spoke more about her son’s absence from the ceremony, telling the Mail’s Richard Eden: ‘I didn’t make that decision – Amadeus did himself, and that’s something between them. He’s not five, he’s almost 15.
‘I didn’t force him, they have a good relationship, but it was a rough time between us [her and Boris]. I’m sure it will be well, but everything in life takes time.’
While Lilly also spoke about Boris’ new bride Lilian, a political risk consultant who is 24-years his junior.
She remarked: ‘I wish him well and I hope that it works. It’s just a shame she’s so young, because I’ve been there before.’

Lilly and Boris were locked in a bitter divorce battle after their split, which left her needing therapy (pictured at their wedding in 2009)

And last year, she faced accusations she owes a substantial amount of money to her former lover to watch her ex-husband.
In February, German newspaper Bild reported that Lilly was facing trial over accusations that she owes £186,626.50 to TV producer Pierre Uebelhack – with some of that money used to hire a private detective to investigate her husband Boris.
They report that Pierre gave £21,400 to Lilly directly to pay KDM Security Consulting
