The reality TV star, 26, was seen getting stuck into filming alongside other celebs at Mullion Cove in Cornwall on Sunday, reports The Sun.

In pictures shared on a local Facebook page, 12 celebrities including Jack, singer Fleur East and Red Dwarf actor Craig Charles could be seen getting a briefing.
As well as the contestants – who are thought to be split into two groups and then made to race from Land’s End to John O’Groats – hosts Freddie Flintoff and AJ Odudu could be seen making the most of the sunny weather and filming for the show.
Other stars said to be making an appearance on the new physically-taxing challenge show include singer Kimberley Wyatt.
Former track and field athlete Denise Lewis, who won a gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, is also said to be on the star-studded lineup.

It comes after Kem Cetinay reportedly quit the show after training with the team for just one day.
The Love Island star, 24, was originally keen for the physical challenge of travelling from Land’s End to John O’Groats by boat with 12 other celebrities but decided to drop out at the start of practice, report The Sun.
Coronation Street‘s Lucy Fallon, 24, is also said to be set to join the crew of Don’t Rock The Boat in her first TV gig since leaving the cobbles.
It is not clear if Lucy is replacing Kem, or if the actress is already part of the 12-strong team trying to row hundreds of miles.

Speaking about Kem’s exit from the upcoming show, which is set to air before the end of 2020, an insider said that the demands of the series proved too much.
They said: ‘Kem loves keeping fit and the idea of rowing 650 miles with a load of other stars seemed like a good laugh.
‘But when it came down to the actual task the prospect of it proved too much and he left on the first day of training.’

However a pal of the reality star told the Sun Kem pulled out because of a schedule conflict after realising that he had already committed to doing Soccer Aid.
The friend said it had been a ‘tough competition’ and that Kem had decided it ‘wasn’t for him’ after trying it out on the first day of training.
Another celeb said to be up for the rowing challenge is Corrie’s Lucy Fallon, who will be marking her first TV job since leaving the soap.
Lucy, known for her role as Bethany Platt and left the show in May 2019 after a five-year stint, is thought to be excited about her new challenge on Don’t Rock The Boat.
