Between recovering from her stint on 'I'm A Celebrity' and rehearsing for a West End show, it's been all go for Irish model Nadia Forde lately.
S! TV's Lisa Kavanagh caught her for a chat at the launch of Dundrum Town Centre's Shop For Good initiative to find out what else she has up her sleeve for the next few months.
Take a look…
The latest series of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here started last night, with eleven contestants getting ready for a whirlwind few weeks in the Australian jungle. Those taking part this year include Kendra Wilkinson, Tinchy Stryder and TOWIE's Gemma Collins,
Irish model Nadia Forde is flying the flag for the Emerald Isle, and she chatted a little about her career in last night's episode.
Things got off to a fairly bad start when viewers began commenting on Twitter about having no idea who she was – although she does happen to have over 20,000 followers on the social media site:
The 25-year-old then mentioned on air that she had her own reality show – which sparked even more confusion from those watching:
Turns out the model, who was linked to Rory McIlroy earlier this year, did have a four-part reality series on 3e called Nadia Goes To Hollywood. Okay, we'll take that, but it's not quite Keeping Up With The Kardashians!
MTV star Laura Whitmore, who is hosting the I'm A Celebrity… aftershow, even received a grilling about why Nadia was chosen. "Who is she?" asked contributor Eamonn Holmes. "Not even Rory McIlroy knows who she is. No one in Ireland knows who she is."
Ouch!
Laura responded by saying Nadia was "a model in Ireland" but that she didn't know much about her as she hadn't "been home in a while."
Nadia must have a few people rooting for her, though – former Miss World Rosanna Davison was one of the first to pass on her good wishes:
We hope things go a bit better for the model tonight!
Nadia Forde has spoken out about the rumours of a romance with golfing superstar Rory McIlroy.
The model was said to have been caught up in a love-triangle when it was reported that Rory had phoned Nadia to apologise after being spotted on the town with Belfast model Sasha Gale.
But now Nadia insists the pair are just good friends!
“Rory and I are just friends. We have the same group of friends and we hang out together and that is it," she said.
“I was dragged into a story that I had nothing to do with and the truth wasn’t necessarily what was coming out. It wasn’t right, to be honest, but I am not going to let that worry me.”
“For the record, Rory and I remain friends. We are good friends. I don’t know how to say it any better than that. I can assure you when I do have a boyfriend I won’t be sneaking around hiding it,” she said.
Well, that's us told!
Irish model Nadia Forde is recovering this evening, after a frightening car crash in the UK.
The 25-year-old was traveling from London to Manchester when her car spun out of control and flipped six times.
A spokesperson said that Nadia is very lucky to walk away with little injuries.
“Nadia is really lucky – her guardian angel was definitely watching over her. The ambulance crew who attended the scene said it was a miracle that she walked away from the crash with just a bump on the head.”
The spokesperson said she was taken into hospital as a precaution.
“The road was very wet and the car spun out of control and flipped over six times before hitting the central reservation. The police and an ambulance crew were called but luckily Nadia was OK. She was taken to Warwick Hospital as a precaution because she received a nasty bump on the head but she was released a few hours later. She’s bruised and shaken but apart from that she’s fine. She feels very lucky to be alive and to have escaped with such minor injuries and relieved that no-one else was injured.”
Nadia said she was shaken but doing fine.
“I’m doing fine – I am resting.”
We’re glad to hear that Nadia is doing ok and wish her well on a speedy recovery.
Rumours have been circulating that Dublin model and actress, Nadia Forde will be appearing on this year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
Nadia has already been featured on numerous programmes here in Ireland from the Republic of Telly to her own show; Nadia Goes to Hollywood.
But sources close to the model’s management team have revealed say they are in “advanced talks” with TV bosses.
When Nadia was quizzed on the possible appearance she didn’t reveal much about the show.
“I’ve had loads of conversations about TV stuff. I’m not saying anymore.”
We’ll just have to wait and see then.
Nadia Forde has decided to branch out a bit and try her hand at being a pop star!
The model’s debut single BPM was released yesterday and is currently in the UK urban charts at number 22.
The 24-year-old model said that Bressie inspired the song after she saw one of his tweets complaining that all the songs in the chart have the words ‘dance’, ‘body’ and ‘hot’ in the lyrics:
“I decided to write a song with every single one of the lyrics he had in that tweet. So I did and I repeated them over and over and over again!
“So that’s basically how BPM came around. It was a really funny session. I think that in the charts at the moment there’s music that is all about enjoying yourself and that’s what BPM is all about. It’s a fun party track and it’s contagious, I love it.”
Check out Nadia’s music video to hear the song for yourselves!
