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 Mail’s Richard Eden show and admitted she was worried about coming face to face with several of her biggest phobias.
She said: “I’ll be afraid to face my fears like snakes, spiders, crickets, going in the water… and trying not to have a panic attack.”
Lilly’s next 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 their son Amadeus, 14, before confirming their separation in May 2018.
Boris had been declared bankrupt the previous year: he owed his creditors £50m for an unpaid loan of more than £3m on his property on the Spanish island of Mallorca.

She and the former Wimbledon champion were married for nine years and welcomed son Amadeus, 14, before confirming their split in May 2018 (pictured in 2017).
The six-time Grand Slam champion was jailed in April 2022 for hiding £2.5 million in assets and loans to avoid paying his debts.
He was found guilty of transferring hundreds of thousands of dollars from his trading account to others and failing to declare a property in his hometown in Germany, while he was also convicted of concealing a £710,000 bank loan and 75,000 shares in a technology company. .
Boris was expected to remain in prison for half of his sentence but was approved for a fast-track plan in which foreign nationals 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 married Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro, 33, in Italy last year, marking his third time at the altar.
He had previously been married to his first wife, Barbara Feltus, from 1993 to 2001, after Boris admitted to having an affair while she was pregnant with their second child.
His two sons with Barbara, Noah, 30, and Elias, 25, attended his wedding to Liliam, although Amadeus and his daughter Anna Ermakova, 24, were conspicuous by their absence.
Model Anna was born after Boris had a one-night stand with Russian waitress Angela in the broom closet of London’s Nobu while his first wife Barbara was in labor with Elias.

Lilly later said that Boris had not invited Amadeus to his wedding on purpose, telling German magazine Bunte: “When I asked Amadeus about it, he was surprised. He didn’t know anything about it.
“Of course he wonders why he wasn’t invited and why his father didn’t tell him anything about it.”
While he insisted he wished his ex the best, he added that “behaving that way toward our son really is the last straw.” Who doesn’t want me to come?
And in November he spoke further about his son’s absence from the ceremony, telling the Mail’s Richard Eden: “I didn’t make that decision; Amadeus made it himself, and that’s between them.” He’s not five years old, he’s almost 15.
‘I didn’t force it, they have a good relationship, but it was a difficult time between us (her and Boris). I’m sure everything will be fine, but everything in life takes time.’
While Lilly also spoke about Boris’s new girlfriend Lilian, a political risk consultant 24 years his junior.
She commented: ‘I wish him the best and hope it works out. It’s a shame I’m so young, because I’ve been there before.
