Sam Quek
Occupation: Hockey playerAge: 28Phobias: Cockroaches, spiders and anything smallBiggest misconception you want to dispel in the Jungle: That I'm not a hard, emotionless athlete. I do have emotionsRole in the Camp: The fun games initiatorMiss most: Contact with the outside world and not being able to speak to my boyfriend and familyDream Campmate: Nicole Scherzinger
Before even thinking about being crowned Jungle Queen, Olympic Gold winner and Hockey pro Sam's already got her heart set on becoming the camp's Head of Jungle Fun. "I will try and initiate games for everyone to have fun. But at the same time, I will speak my mind if I do disagree with someone." Everyone loves a spot of campfire charades to lighten the mood after a gruelling Trial, right?
Keeping up morale in the camp won't be Sam's biggest challenge though. She's admitted that she's pretty scared of cockroaches. And Spiders. And ANYTHING small - which, looking at our list of creepy crawlies covers pretty much the whole lot.
"My boyfriend came up to me the other day with a spider in his hand and I said 'no get it away'," explains Sam. "He told me I really needed to practice but I will deal with it when I am in the situation." We guess nothing can really prepare you for sharing a bed with 20,000 cockroaches...
