On Thursday night’s episode of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Tziporah Malkah revealed that it’s been a whopping SIX years since she’s done the dirty.

The former ’90s it-girl, who was once engaged to media mogul James Packer, made the shocking admission while in conversation with Olympian Lisa Curry.

Relaying an earlier chat she’d had with a fellow contestant, Tziporah said, “Ash said today, ‘God I need a shag’, and I said, ‘Darl, I haven’t had a shag in six years.”

But it seems Tziporah already has grand plans to knock her boots with a mystery man once she leaves the jungle!

Speaking again with the 54-year-old Olympic swimmer, Tziporah explained that a potential love interest awaits her return from the hit reality TV show.

“I haven’t seen him for a long time. We were teenage friends. As soon as I can get a couple of weeks off I am going to go and stay in a hotel within walking distance from him and see how it goes,” the 43-year-old said.

She continued: “We’ve discussed that there may not be any physical chemistry between us. We are getting on really well on the phone. We’ve had marathon phone calls. We are like teenagers. We spent literally seven hours on the phone one night together. It is ridiculous.”

It seems only time will tell!

While on I’m a Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here!, Tziporah completed a terrifying challenge that left her with cockroaches in her ears.

Tziporah shot to fame at just 14-years-old when she won the Dolly Magazine Covergirl of the Year competition in 1988.

From there, the former model who was even dubbed as the next Elle Macpherson, was to grace the cover of Vogue four times, feature in two INXS music videos and begin a prosperous acting career, famously stripping down to her birthday suit for the Australian film Sirens, starring alongside a-listers by the likes of Portia de Rossi and Hugh Grant.

It was during these years in the spotlight that Tziporah began dating billionaire James.

Tziporah Malkah, formerly known as Kate Fischer, was featured on the cover of Vogue multiple times.

James and Tziporah were to ‘it’ couple for years until they spilt in 1998.

Speaking with Channel Ten’s Carrie Bickmore, the 42-year-old said, “I hate talking about him, I hate being defined by him. I had a very promising career, I feel like I was a bud snapped off the vine before I had the time to bloom.”

“I had to stop work,” she said. “He would say ‘It’s tacky. You’re going to be my wife and it’s tacky that you should go out like you need to work’. I was allowed to do a play at the Sydney Opera House, because that had some substance to it. And I just went shopping and coffee with friends.”

“He really, really loved me and it was exciting and everything, but then all that changed — it was like, ‘it’s too hard to have you in my life, you can be Mrs Packer and have all the credit cards, you can do whatever you want, but you have to let me do whatever I want’. And that’s not a marriage — that’s not the sort of marriage I want.”

Heartbroken after the demise of her relationship with James – a relationship in which they had already planned how many children they would have and what their names would be – Tziporah fled Australia for LA in 1998 where she disappeared from the spotlight until now.
