Carol Thatcher was Queen of the Jungle in the 2005 I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. She started as an outsider but people were soon won over by her plucky attitude.

Carol Thatcher, the daughter of Denis and Margaret Thatcher, was educated at Queenswood, Hatfield, St Paul's School for Girls and University College London. Carol Thatcher has worked as a freelance writer, broadcaster and author.

Upon it being disclosed that she would be participating in I'm a Celebrity, Carol Thatcher said: "I haven't told my mother. She'll think, 'Rather her than me.' She wouldn't like to give up that hairdo and power heels. She'll probably be very critical. I can't say it's her sort of show so I might just tell her I've done it when I get back." Carol's give it a go approach to I'm a Celebrity won her many fans. Of course, the fact that she can't smell or taste anything helped her with some of the challenges.

Carol told BBC Radio 4's Today that she regarded her late father, of whom she has written a biography, as "a role model for consorts from 1979 to 1990. He always used to say the role entailed being always present, never there."

During I'm a Celebrity, Carol Thatcher mentioned one of her father's sayings: "Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought of as a fool, than open it and leave no doubt".

Only days after returning from Australia, Carol Thatcher was on TV again this time presenting the award for Best Television Comedy at the British Comedy Awards 2005.

Carol Thatcher makes an excellent after dinner speaker & awards host.
