'I'm going to shut the door now!' Casey Donovan reveals she is giving up her job as an UBER DRIVER to focus on her music after I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

She's the 2004 Australian Idol winner and was named Queen of the jungle taking home the $100,000 prize on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.

And after six weeks of gruesome tucker trials and intense challenges in the South African jungle, Casey Donovan, 28, couldn't be happier. 

Appearing on Kyle and Jackie O on Tuesday morning, the singer revealed she was ready to hang up her part-time gig in Uber driving and focus on her music.

'Yeah I'm going to shut the Uber door now!' Casey told the radio hosts telling them she plans to focus more on singing. 

Kyle then cheekily asked if the singer would want to keep the prize money which she has chosen to give the charity of choice - Starlight Foundation.

'No I wouldn't want to keep the cash for myself, even though I could give up working, I couldn't be happier giving the money to charity! 


Moments before winning the show, Casey opened up about why she chose to raise money for the Starlight Foundation.

'Mine is the Starlight Foundation and helping young kids and early teenagers smile,' she said.

'Be happy. Have their minds get taken out of a hospital bed, a room, help families in need and bring laughter and joy and happiness to what can be a horrible time.'
