‘I’m so proud of who I’m becoming…’: I’m A Celebrity’s most terrified campmate looks unrecognisable years after her Playboy fame — as the former glamour girl trades red carpets for open houses and reveals her new life as a Los Angeles estate agent… - suong
I’M A Celebrity’s most frightened campmate ever looks worlds away from her heyday as a top model after shunning the spotlight for a totally different career.
The huge US star rose to fame throughout the 2000s thanks to being the decade’s most famous Playboy Playmate which turned her into a reality TV star.
It ultimately led to her being cast on the 2014 edition of hit ITV reality show I’m A Celebrity in which she finished in 6th place after being continually chosen to face the show’s Bushtucker Trials.
But in the years that followed, the blonde bombshell opted to leave fame behind for a VERY normal job.
These days, the former millionaire TV star works as an estate agent in the US selling houses and showing potential buyers around the properties.
But can you work out who the former star is?
It is Hugh Hefner‘s ex-girlfriend, Kendra Wilkinson.
She first found fame in 2004 when she was chosen to be one of Hugh’s three live-in girlfriends and the following year began appearing in the E! reality series, The Girls
But after she decided to quit TV in 2018 following the ending of her second solo reality show, Kendra On Top, she decided to pursue a career in the property world.
In 2020 she passed the California real estate exam after taking several classes and qualified as a fully-fledged real estate agent.
She was soon taken on by luxury Los Angeles firm, The Agency, before moving to Carswell & Associates in 2021.
Kendra is still proudly working with the company to this day and just this week showed off her new life in a 9-to-5 on Instagram after years of making moves in the celebrity world.
She shared a snap of herself beside her own custom for-sale sign at an open house showing in LA.
Kendra captioned the snap: “I know a lot didn’t like this photo but I do. I think it represents me and what I’m doing now a days to a T.
“I’m so happy I’m evolving into myself and growing who I want to be. Everyday I’m pouring myself into this business.
“I just opened escrow on a property in Venice beach today and it just keeps growing. I’m so proud of myself.
“Yes, I’ve never really had the greatest fashion sense but that’s just who I’ve always been.
“This outfit isn’t the hottest but it makes me feel good in different ways.
“Not always looking like I’m for tv or a photoshoot is somewhat freeing.
“Anyways, reach out if you are selling or buying a property in LA!!”
Another snapshot showed the star describing how she had been showing potential buyers around properties all day which had forced her to miss her son’s basketball game.
She wrote: “Showings all day today. Had to skip Alijahs basketball games which sucks but gotta work.”
Kendra shares her children, Hank Jr. and Alijah, with pro basketball star, Hank Baskett, whom she split with in 2018 after 10 years together.
Kendra is perhaps best known in the UK for her memorable stint Down Under in the jungle in 2014.
She became known as the most scared contestant in the ITV show’s
In her first two trials, she picked up just one out of 12 stars which managed to rise to two on her third attempt.
In an unexpected twist, her fourth trial saw her pick up EVERY star, leading to suggestion that she had previously faked her poor ability in order to continue being voted in order to gain screen time.
Kendra was eliminated just two days before the final after 21 days in camp.

Gia Giudice is setting the record straight.
In the Nov. 3 episode of her podcast, Casual Chaos, the 24-year-old daughter of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice addressed the "crazy rumors" circulating online that she got married.
She began by sharing that there is a "crazy AI account on Facebook" that has been "making the most fake news" about her life. One of those "news" headlines was that she has tied the knot with boyfriend Christian Carmichael — and it seems some people have taken it as truth.
"I was in the nail salon the other day, and this lady was like, 'Oh, my God, your wedding dress was gorgeous.' And I was like, 'What is she talking about?' " Gia recalled. "Like, I did not get married, nor am I engaged, nor did I have a secret wedding with only my immediate family. Like, none of this happened."
"Like, we're not getting married," the Next Gen NYC star continued, referring to Carmichael.
Gia said there are also rumors that she's "been pregnant before," to which she responded: "Not pregnant. Maybe I just looked chunky that day."
As for all the fake news, she told her viewers, "Just ignore it all."
"Like, no one's pregnant. No one's married. No one's engaged," she said.
Gia went on to speak about her relationship with Carmichael, whom she began dating in 2020 after the pair met during a beach weekend in New Jersey ahead of her freshman year of college at Rutgers University.
"We've been together since we were 19," she said, before sharing what keeps their connection solid. "I think the foundation of our relationship is honestly trust. We've been through a lot. We've been through a lot of ups and downs. So I think the biggest thing is trust. And we're still going strong."
Gia previously noted on her podcast that her family fully supports her relationship with Carmichael.
"My mom loves Christian," she said. "But, you know, Christian honestly has an amazing relationship with everyone in my family."
She shared that Carmichael has also visited her father, Joe Giudice, in the Bahamas, where he lives. "You guys have a great relationship," Gia told her boyfriend, who had joined her on the podcast episode at the time. "You guys always joke around with each other."
While she's not engaged or married, Gia did recently make a major life change, finally deciding to move out of her mom's home and into an apartment. She revealed during her Nov. 3 podcast episode that she is set to move to Jersey City, N.J., "in one week."
Addressing whether she sees herself ever leaving her home state of New Jersey, she said, "I'm open to exploring other towns in my 20s, whether it's Brooklyn or I do move to [New York City]. But Jersey City was a good step for me because my heart will always be in Jersey."
"My family's here. My boyfriend's here. And it's just the perfect happy medium to make my commute easier to the city, but then also make it easy for me to just get on the highway and come see my family or boyfriend," she continued. "So I don't know. I'm open to exploring in my 20s, but long term, yes. I think I will always be in Jersey."
