Kerry Katona was apparently left "red-faced" after her bid to appear in the new series of I'm A Celebrity..Get Me Out of Here! failed to get any backing from the general public, a report has claimed.
The reality TV star had "given her blessing" to a Facebook campaign to lobby for her to participate in the new series of the show in Australia alongside her mother Sue.
A source told a tabloid newspaper that Kerry was hoping the social networking campaign would generate a massive show of support for the idea but apparently only 26 viewers have backed the bid.
The insider told the Daily Star that Katona was hoping that an appearance on the jungle reality show would help to boost her career revival.
She had also hoped that a stint in the bug-infested camp would help her mum to become a reality TV star.
A source told the newspaper: "Kerry is a big name but she's already had her shot on the show and her mum is not even a celebrity.
"After seeing how little interest there is in this campaign producers are not going to touch them with a barge pole.
"Kerry fans who were hoping to give her the chance of getting back in the jungle could well have had the opposite effect."
