She also appeared in I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here back in 2011 and has won the Silver Bear for Best Actress award at the 44th Berlin International Film Festival.

Crissy will be joined by former Liverpool player and caretaker manager Sammy Lee. Sammy made close to 200 appearances for Liverpool during the 70s and 80s and has also signed up for Saturday’s event.
