London, May 20: Media personality Myleene Klass is all set to star in the American version of I'm a Celebrity, as the NBC network has hired her for the show after being impressed by her CNN film show.

Myleene will head to Costa Rica to film the three-week show.

The show, for which Myleene will be paid a whopping 100,000 dollars, will also give her an opportunity to carve a niche in America.

Myleene had to cancel shooting other shows, as she had to fly to America to film the show.

"We had to ring around and ask if everyone would mind Myleene taking some time off. Who would turn down the chance to make it in America?" the Sun quoted a source as saying. (ANI)
