Anna Ryder Richardson buys a zoo

She returns to jungle roots by forking out £1m for nature reserve

The jungle experience in I’m A Celeb obviously impressed Anna Ryder Richardson – she’s bought a zoo.

The Changing Rooms star, 43, has forked out over £1m for a wildlife park in Britain.

Manor House Wild Animal Park at Tenby, Pembrokeshire, is home to tarantula spiders, tropical bugs and snakes.

The sanctuary also has zebras, llamas and wallabies.

‘Anna's very excited about looking after the animals,’ the reserve’s Jo Williams tells the Daily Mirror.

Anna - who lives in Glasgow with her husband and 2 children – plans to spend the summer running the 45-acre zoo.

Meanwhile, back in the Australian jungle, the remaining celebrity campers bagged 3 meals out of 4 in the latest Bushtucker Trial, where they had to collect stars while climbing a water slide.

Loudmouth Janice Dickinson, 52, injured her bum as she slid down.
