Former EastEnders star Samantha Womack won't be heading into the jungle later this year following her shock soap exit.

Samantha – who is probably best known for her role as Ronnie Mitchell – has been one of the many names rumoured to be taking part in ITV's popular reality show, which will be kicking off its newest series later this year.

However, we can confirm that the actress won't be one of the brave contestants entering the Australian jungle – with Samantha's rep confirming to Digital Spy that she definitely won't be appearing on the show.

Samantha is the latest EastEnders star to shoot down I'm a Celebrity claims, with it also confirmed that Jacqueline Jossa won't be taking part either.

Jacqueline's character Lauren Branning is being written out of the show alongside her sister Abi – mirroring last year's news about Ronnie and Roxy's exits.

EastEnders fans were left stunned at New Year as the producers killed off Ronnie and her sister Roxy in a grisly swimming pool accident, closing the door on any possible returns for the popular duo.

Away from Soapland, Samantha has been busy touring around the UK with a new production of The Addams Family, taking on the role of Morticia.

EastEnders continues tonight (October 19) at 7.30pm on BBC One.
