Snoochie Shy is a BBC Radio DJ who landed her own 1Xtra late-night slot two years ago and is now looking for a new challenge – this time in the form of a gruesome trial.
The 29-year-old has also modelled for top brands such as Nike, Adidas, Ugg, Warehouse and Vans, and is currently the ambassador for Sleep make-up and digital platform VOXI.
She isn’t a stranger to reality TV after appearing on Celebrity Gogglebox in 2021 alongside Jeremy Vine.
What is Snoochie Shy's real name?
As you might have guessed, Snoochie Shy is a stage name. The Radio 1Xtra host's real name is Cheyenne Davide.
Ahead of her appearance in the I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! castle, Snoochie revealed that her stage name now means 'flaccid, emaciated carrot' - which was not the intended effect.
Speaking to The Mirror, she explained: "My nan used to call me Snoochie, and it just stuck with me. I should have Googled it first, because in the Urban Dictionary it's 'a flaccid, emaciated carrot found in the refrigerator' - but by Snoochie my nan meant 'cute'.
"And Shy - my real name is Cheyenne. I am a little bit shy as well. I'm quite loud on my Insta and in work. But in camp I might be a little bit shy as well."

What has Snoochie Shy said about joining I’m A Celebrity 2021?
Ahead of joining I'm A Celebrity 2021, Shy admitted that she is a massive “scaredy-cat” and is terrified of almost everything.
Shy might have many fears, but her biggest worry ahead of joining I’m A Celeb remained the trials – and all the creepy crawlies that come in tow.
Snoochie said: "That trial is my big fear. I’ve seen bugs go up people’s noses before and I am scared bugs are going to go up my private parts. But I am excited about taking part and as soon as they asked me to come on the show, I said yes."
Shy is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Jordan North – who was also scared of pretty much everything - after he finished as runner-up on I’m A Celebrity 2020.
"I saw him vomit on top of the mountain and I can relate to that as it was very high," she said.
She added: “I am actually quite a shy person when I am outside my comfort zone.
“I think my shy side might come out and I might be quite shy in the first couple of days but I also will definitely be a team player. I want to show everyone how to twerk too!”
I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! 2021 began on November 21, 2021 and airs on ITV.
