Nadia Forde is certainly making the most out of her time in the spotlight. After becoming a household name during her stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, the Irish beauty has managed to bag herself a reality show.
On Thursday, the stunning 25-year-old was busy promoting the programme – entitled Nadia: Chasing The Dream – at House Dublin. At the launch, Nadia looked beautiful in a red lace dress as she posed for the cameras.
The low cut of her chic frock showed off her ample cleavage, while the elegant fit highlighted her enviable petite waistline. Speaking to the Independent about her road to success, the model, who was virtually unknown this time last year, addressed viscous rumours suggesting she had slept her way to the top.
‘People have no idea of the amount of hard work that has gone into this. It’s literally been non-stop work for the past year. If it were down to sleeping your way to the top, then there would be 50 girls in the jungle.
‘Do they have any idea of the process? It’s not that simple, it’s not that easy . . . if only it was.’ Nadia’s new reality show will follow the pretty brunette on her journey to music stardom. In the first episode, viewers will see the model-turned-singer launch a radio tour as she tries to promote her new single BPM.
She then jets out to Ibiza where she is seen both working and playing hard; enjoying the party island’s vibrant nightlife before buckling down in rehearsals before performing at the famous Ibiza Rocks Bar. Despite her pin-up status, Nadia, who lives a stone’s throw away from Harrod’s in Knightsbridge, has been single since breaking up with her ex-boyfriend over two years ago.
According to the lads’ mag cover girl, she has ‘closed herself off’ to romance since the break-up as she likes to keep men at ‘arm’s length’.
‘The only way I can describe it is that I have had my heart broken and I have never really been the same since,’ she explained. ‘It wasn’t a guy. It was just circumstances. And I guess now I just close myself off to people and situations where I want to let anyone get close to me.’
Nadia: Chasing the Dream’ starts on Friday, April 10 at 8pm on 3e and will be repeated on Saturday, April 11, at 3.30pm on TV3.
