JENNA JONATHAN got herself back in front of the TV cameras again after MTV pulled the plug on The Valleys.
The 23-year-old star from Tonyrefail shrugged off the shock news that MTV will not be renewing The Valleys for a fourth season by getting stuck into filming for S4C's reality show Cariad@Iaith.
She has joined up with seven fellow celebrities to learn Welsh in a week at the remote Nant Gwrtheyrn, 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 miles away from Cardiff, the Welsh capital.
Jenna has teamed up with Ian "H" Watkins AKA "H" from Steps, Big Brother 14 winner Sam Evans, legendary Everton and Wales goalkeeper Neville Southall, weather presenter Behnaz Akhgar, Casualty star Suzanne Packer, ex-Emmerdale star Sian Reeves, and John Owen-Jones, actor and singer.
She told one of the show's presenters Matt Johnson in an interview (see video below) before the show airs tomorrow: "I love Wales. I'm really patriotic so I think I should know the language.
"I'm really competitive and stuff, so I think I'll do it. Well, I know I will."
The reality star revealed her nerves in being filmed despite her wild partying antics on The Valleys.
She tweeted: "Awake and I'm excited/terrified to start filming @S4cariad today haha!!"
She also had to get used to being woken up by television cameras again. She tweeted: "Been a while since I've been woken up with a camera in my face....looking forward to the first proper day today!!"
Jenna has had to swap the glamour and glitz of city life for the mud of outdoor activities as part of the reality show.
She successfully tackled an obstacle course at the Bear Grylls Survival Academy in the Dragon Raiders Activity Park near Criccieth on the peninsula.
She tweeted: "Never been so covered in mud in my life. Thanks for that @S4cariad....shower time!"
After wrapping up her first day's filming at Nant Gwrtheyrn, she tweeted that the location was "such a beautiful place" and posted a stunning sunset picture of its rugged coastline.
Fellow celebrity contestant weather presenter Behnaz Akhgar told her Twitter followers that she was struggling to get to grips with the Welsh language.
She tweeted with a picture of Nant Gwrtheyrn's coastline: "Today's view. It just keeps getting better and better @NantGwrtheyrn1. Wish my Welsh was as impressive. #struggling."
Two programmes introducing the celebrities will be aired on S4C on Wednesday 11 and Friday 13 June at 8.25pm.
This Morning presenter Matt Johnson, 31, from Caerphilly and Nia Parry will then bring the latest gossip from "The Nant" on Cariad@Iaith: Love4Language every night between Monday 16 June and Friday 20 June at 8.30pm and 9.25pm.
The series winner will be crowned in the final which will take place on Saturday 21 June at 8pm.

Meanwhile, Lateysha Grace (pic below) proved that you don't need a reality show to be a reality TV star by making the pages of the Daily Star.
She looked unfazed by the news that The Valleys had been axed by MTV while she was snapped relaxing in the pool during a week's holiday in Ibiza.
The 21-year-old from Port Talbot flew to the sunshine party island in the Mediterannean Sea with her personal trainer.
MTV confirmed its decision to cancel The Valleys by releasing a statement that said: "The Valleys has performed exceptionally well with three seasons behind it.
"However, with our audience always looking for new and engaging content, we're focused on developing new original programme ideas for the MTV schedule such as new smash hit Ex On The Beach to sit alongside returning favourites like Geordie Shore."
