Caitlyn Jenner is on her way to star on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, alongside a host of other famous faces.

But the 70-year-old took a second to praise youngest daughter Kylie Jenner and her mum skills, ahead of her stint in the jungle.

In a chat with Us Weekly, the Olympian said: ‘Little Stormi is a wonderful little kid, [and Kylie] is a wonderful mum.

‘She’s totally dedicated to her.’

We wonder if Ky and Stormi will be watching Caitlyn competing in a bushtucker trial…

Kris Jenner’s ex will be joined by Ian Wright, Nadine Coyle, Jacqueline Jossa and a string of celebrities in Australia.

And it has been claimed she commanded the highest fee for her appearance on the show, reportedly taking home a cheque for £500,000.

Kris taught her well…

‘She’s such a huge name and a great get for producers. ITV think she is one of their best ever signings,’ an insider told The Sun.

‘It’s a real bolt from the blue. They’ve asked her every year for a long time, but she finally felt the time was right.’

Caitlyn made headlines around the world when she came out as transgender, back in 2015.

And, speaking about the reaction she got, the athlete admitted it was harder to transition from Bruce Jenner than to win a gold medal at the 1976 Olympics, as she felt ‘people hated her guts’.

Speaking on BBC’s Don’t Tell Me the Score podcast, she said: ‘I trained 12 years for the games. I trained 65 years to transition in 2015. It was harder to do, it was less accepted.

‘Everyone loved the games, a lot of people when they see you transition hate your guts. Look at the quotes on Instagram.

‘By far that was a lot more difficult.

‘Has it been easy? Not even close. I’ve raised about $2.6million (£2.02m), given it away to trans organisations.

‘A lot of them are extraordinarily appreciative of it,’ she added. ‘On the other hand, they’re having their big fundraiser and say, “Oh please don’t show up you’re too controversial.”’

Well, we can’t wait to see what she gets up to in the jungle.

I’m A Celebrity kicks off on Sunday, 17 November, on ITV.
