When it comes to the I'm A Celebrity 2021 line-up (opens in new tab) there's always a touch of glamour mixed into the camp and viewers are wondering 'who is Snoochie Shy and what is she famous for?'
As the 10 celebrities prepare to wave goodbye to their creature comforts for the next three weeks, simple things like washing will become a luxury after fighting off the gruesome smelling mixtures of creepie crawlies in the bushtucker trials.
But as viewers only worry is what day is I'm A Celeb 2021 on? (opens in new tab) One woman who has bigger issues on her mind - being nervous about the toilet situation in the camp is Snoochie Shy...
Who is Snoochie Shy?
Snoochie Shy -real name - Cheyenne David - is a 29-year-old DJ on BBC Radio 1Xtra, model and TV presenter from Eltham, East London, and first joined the radio station two years ago.
She revealed it was her nan who came up with her moniker, in an interview with The Mirror she said, "My nan used to call me Snoochie when I was younger and it was just a name that stuck with me, really, when I came to work.
“But then when I went on Urban Dictionary I probably should have checked it before because it actually means you’ve left your carrot in the refrigerator. But obviously when my nan was saying it to me it sounded cute, so… yeah, channeling that carrot energy as well. And Shy, my real name is Cheyenne so it’s short for Cheyenne. But I am a little bit shy as well!”
She is scared of bugs, heights and is claustrophobic which suggests that she is going to struggle with some of the bushtucker trials in the I’m A Celebrity castle. (opens in new tab)
Before she was famous Snoochie started a blog called yeahitsshy at the age of 19 as a creative outlet to express herself, which later led to styling and modeling gigs with Adidas.
She has a birthmark on her cheek which is rarely seen but her team have promised fans they'll be 'seeing more of her inside da castle!'
