BRISBANE, Australia, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- Kendra Wilkinson has declared she is single.

The 29-year-old television personality said as much in an interview with Dish Nation on Tuesday. Wilkinson has signed on to take part in Australian reality series I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, and spoke to the celebrity news program as she arrived at Brisbane airport.

"That is what I'm trying to escape from," she said of her problems with husband Hank Baskett. "I'm going to have some thinking time in the jungle. It's going to be good to be away from all that... I'm single for the time being."

Wilkinson and Baskett married in June 2009, and have a four-year-old son and six-month-old daughter. The 32-year-old NFL star allegedly cheated on Wilkinson with transgender model Ava Sabrina London, and the couple have been back and forth on whether they will stay together.

"I don't know what I'd do if there is a Tarzan [on the show] who wants to sweep me off my feet," Wilkinson admitted. "I'm quite picky about men. I do like a British accent, though."

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! sees 12 celebrities survive without luxuries in a jungle environment. Contestants participate in Bush Tucker trials, which often involve eating insects, and viewers vote to decide which competitor ultimately wins the show.

"I've never seen I'm a Celebrity before, and I didn't want to after I signed up for the show," the reality star revealed. "I want to go in blind. I don't want to freak myself out. And I have no idea who's going in with me. I hope it's a good group of people."

"This will be a vacation for me. I'm not a girl into home comforts and luxury," she declared. "I'm going to miss the kids the most. I feel like I've been gone for a year already, but it's only been one flight."

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! season 14 premieres November 16 on ITV.
