Phina spies TV job
19/02/07
I’M A Celebrity babe Phina Oruche is going back to the jungle to star in an American TV series.
Ex-Footballers’ Wives star Phina, 31, has landed a leading role in The Unit – a hit series about US secret agents and spies.
The Liverpudlian beauty, who returned to Los Angeles after appearing in the ITV1 reality show, is heading to the rainforest of Papua New Guinea.
She is flying out tomorrow to the remote islands to begin filming the show, written by David Mamet, 60.
The Unit, which is proving a big Stateside hit, also features 24’s Dennis Haysbert, 52 – who played President David Palmer – and Scrubs star Scott Foley, 34.
It follows the special forces team and their missions abroad but also shows how their work affects life at home.
Phina revealed: “I’m looking forward to going back to the jungle and am excited about The Unit.
“This time, though, I will be the queen of the jungle – because I’m playing a chieftain of a village.
“Things have gone really well for me since I returned to Los Angeles. I have done only three auditions and through those I got the part in The Unit and am in talks for two films that also go to exotic locations.
“I feel my return to La La land has really been worth it.”
