Tiger King star Carole Baskin insists that she has no intention in appearing on a potential second season of the Netflix series.

Carole Baskin has denied reports that she is demanding at least £1 million to appear in a second season of Tiger King.

Following the unprecedented success of the documentary, Netflix is said to have given the go-ahead to new episodes featuring unseen material from the first season as well as updates on what has happened to the participants since.

A report in The Sun claimed that Baskin is seeking a big-money payout to feature in the new episodes but in an interview with the Radio Times, she has vehemently refuted that she is interested in getting involved.

"No-one has asked me to participate in a second round of Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness and there is no amount of money that would cause me to trust the producers again after their sick betrayal of the animals and me," she said.

"I wasn't paid the first time around, although several people have come forward saying they were paid. That violates the very nature of a documentary along with so many other things that were staged and taken out of context."

Baskin has also hit out at reports that she is considering an offer from ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
