When Jackie Gillies went into the jungle for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, fellow campmates and fans were quick to question her psychic abilities.
It became a running joke in camp. But now, the 37-year-old is out to prove everyone wrong.
“I have a healthy respect for people who are sceptics,” Jackie explains. “An accurate psychic reading can be very confronting – that can be hard for some people.
“I gave Paul Burrell a reading [in the Jungle] and he was completely freaked out by the intimate information I gave him because no one knew that information and Princess Diana.”

Jackie’s taking her Shine It Up tour around Oz and is keen for everyone, sceptics included, to come along.
“I want to inspire and connect with people and share my skills,” she declares.
“The Shine It Up tour is really about mindset, listening to your intuition and bringing peace within yourself to find your purpose.”
Jackie is taking her psychic skills on the road.
As for how her gift works, Jackie tells Now To Love that being in tune with people’s “energies” can become all-consuming if she doesn’t close it off. However, she only acts as a “vessel” for the spirits to voice their concerns.
“When I do readings I don’t remember what I say. I’m just a vessel,” she explains.
“But I have been doing this for over 14 years and everyone comments on how accurate I am.”
When she left I’m A Celeb, Jackie promised she’d donate $25,000 to her chosen charity, The Moira Kelly Creating Hope Foundation, which helps children and women in their time of need.
“A portion of all the tickets from my Shine It Up tour will go to Moira Kelly,” she adds.
