Nikki Schieler Ziering, a one-time Playboy Playmate and "Price Is Right" model, has joined the cast of ABC's "I'm a Celebrity -- Get Me Out of Here!"

Schieler Ziering, who was formerly married to "Beverly Hills, 90210" star Ian Ziering, was one of "Barker's Beauties" on "The Price Is Right" from 1999-2002. She's also appeared in "Serving Sara" and has a part in the upcoming "American Wedding," a sequel to the "American Pie" movies.

She's the 10th and final person to join "I'm a Celebrity," which premieres Wednesday, Feb. 19 and runs for 15 consecutive nights. The other not-quite-A-list folks on the show are Robin Leach, Melissa Rivers, Bruce Jenner, Maria Conchita Alonso, Tyson Beckford, Alana Stewart, Cris Judd, "Stuttering" John Melendez and "Downtown" Julie Brown.

The premiere will show the 10 players being dropped into their camp, a jungle on the interior of Australia's Gold Coast region. Viewers will then play a role, via phone and Internet voting, in what happens to the group.

During the first week of the show, the audience will determine which participant will take part in a challenge called the "Bush Tucker Trial" that can win extra food for the group. "Bush Tucker" is an Australian term for the island nation's native foods.

In the second week, viewers will vote for their favorite players each night; the person receiving the fewest votes goes home. The last remaining player wins a cash prize to be donated to a charity of his or her choice.
