But she insisted that former Apprentice contestant Hopkins will definitely not be among them and branded her a "disgrace to business woman".

Mother-of-two Hopkins, who also appeared in the latest I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, caused a storm when she bitched about her fellow contestants, admitted to snaring a married man, and was pictured romping naked in a field.

"People know we didn't see eye to eye. I don't believe in anything she stood for and thought she gave women a bad name," Mone added.

However several new faces will be unveiled in 2008 alongside current girls Hollyoaks actress Gemma Atkinson and veteran rocker Rod's daughters Ruby and Kimberley.
