She describes Celebrity Treasure Island as “a silly little show” – but Jane Yee couldn’t be more of a fan! She’s watched every episode of every season and dissects each melodrama filled moment on her hilariously chaotic Spinoff podcast The Real Pod.
“CTI is such an amazing mix of intense emotion but also ridiculousness,” the Auckland media personality, 44, tells Woman’s Day. “It’s interesting to watch things like Mike King self-eliminating so he can work with suicidal children and then, one minute later, contestants have hooks dangling off their waists and they’re trying to pick up balls.
“It’s stupidly funny seeing the stars in a non-celebrity environment, with the glam stripped back, and I feel like every season gets better.”
Treasure Island: Fans V Faves will certainly be the best series ever for mum-of-three Jane, who felt “excited and sick with disbelief” when she got the call to compete late last year.
“It still feels unreal,” she says, with a massive grin. “But I have an advantage in that I’ve done TV before, so I know a little about how things work. This isn’t entirely new for me and I’m not going to let myself get swept away by the glamour of television.”
