Former Tomb Raider model Nell McAndrew has been tipped to win the celebrity version of Survivor. Bookies have given Nell the best odds of coming through I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here, which starts on Sunday. The survivors are being taken to a jungle region of Australia where they will be put through their paces.

Nell's team-mates include Christine Hamilton, Tara Palmer-Tompkinson, boxer Nigel Benn and veteran DJ Tony Blackburn. She said she was confident of performing well in the jungle. "I've trained hard in the gym for this and my body has never looked better," she said.

Nell, who gained fame dressed up as Lara Croft to promote the Tomb Raider computer games, said she visited the gym almost every day. This, along with running and cycling, gave her a positive outlook on life, she added.
