Hazel's tipped for jungle but Danny's still her man

But pals of Hazel O'Sullivan say no matter how far she ventures into the Australian bush her heart will stay firmly in London.

The Wexford native is dating Tulisa's ex boyfriend Danny Simpson and is determined to make their relationship work – no matter what circumstances.

The Big Brother contestant (24) and the Newcastle United star (26) have been "happily dating" for three months.

And according to one of Hazel's model pals they can't get enough of each other. "They just click," the friend said. "They've been seeing each other for a few months and things are going really well.

"There is no way Hazel will call things off if she goes to Oz. She knows all too well that a good man is hard to find so why throw in the towel so soon?"

The busty model clearly has a soft spot for buff sports stars, she previously dated Irish rugby player Fergus McFadden. The couple dated for a year but split in May.

After she left the BB House, Hazel said there were "no boys" on the horizon and she wanted to focus on her career rather than her love life. "For the first time in my life I'm single and happy," she said at the time.

But just weeks later she and Danny were an item. "Danny watched her on Big Brother and fancied her. They were introduced and hit it off straight away," a friend explained.

As for all those I'm A Celeb rumours, friends believe Hazel is about to head Down Under. The model will return to Dublin next week to prepare for "something big".

"She's being really secretive but she says something big is about to happen. She booked into salons to get her tan done.

"And she's booked into Great Lengths to get her hair done. The last time she went on a beautifying boot camp like this she was preparing for Big Brother."
