When they arrived in the I'm A Celebrity jungle Sam Fox and her fellow celebrities quickly had to learnt to take risks.
And it seems the taste for adventure hasn't left them.
Fox and former jungle mates Stuart Manning and Jimmy White took part in a daredevil skydiving stunt from 13,000ft yesterday to raise awareness of the charity Malaria No More.

Charity Malaria No More UK has said cash raised by the public during the latest series of the ITV show is to be invested in Ghana to help protect up to two million people from the disease.
In the African country malaria is responsible for one third of all deaths in children aged under five.
Their combined efforts helped fund an education project to ensure nearly one million mosquito bed nets distributed to 600,000 families in Ghana next month will be properly used.
Thumbs up: Fox was hoping to raise awareness for Malaria No More
Fox said: 'Malaria is a massive killer in Africa, especially for women and children, and it breaks my heart to think about such a huge loss.
'I've seen people affected by the disease and it's horrific. What's worse is that it's totally preventable and treatable.'
TV cleaner Kim Woodburn, who also took part in the most recent series, cheered on the celebrities on as they took to the sky.
Chef Gino D'Acampo, who was crowned king of the jungle during the show, described his former camp-mates' efforts as 'fantastico'.
The skydive took place at Hinton Airfield in Northamptonshire.
