Jenna, 23, from Tonyrefail, (pic below) will be joining seven fellow celebrities to take up the challenge of learning Welsh in a week in S4C's reality show Cariad@Iaith:love4language.
She will swap her partying lifestyle in Cardiff, as seen on The Valleys, for the solitude of the remote Nant Gwrtheyrn (or "the Nant" as it is often called), a residential Welsh language course centre located in a former quarrying village on the northern coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales - 168 miles away and more than a four hour drive from the Welsh Capital.
