Grace Dent reveals real reason she quit I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here

Grace Dent struggled to "share a space" with certain people on 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'

The 50-year-old food critic quit the ITV1 jungle reality series after just nine days in camp and now an insider has claimed that she will open up about her exit on Wednesday's (13.12.23) 'I'm A Celebrity...Coming Out' show and detail how she found it "hard" to live alongside the likes of politician Nigel Farage, 59, who eventually finished in third place on the show.

A source told The Sun newspaper's TVBiz column: "Grace also tells how she found it hard being in camp with people who under normal circumstances, she wouldn't share a sleeping space with - and that includes divisive characters like Nigel.

“She also is expected to lift the lid on the elements she found hard with camp life, including the ‘lack of control’ she felt, and there being ‘nowhere to hide’."

In an upcoming clip from the one-off special, the 'Diary of a Chav' author explained that quitting the series before the public vote and opting to leave her campmates is the "biggest regret" of her life.

She said: "Leaving my campmates and the girls will be the greatest regret of my life. Take risks, say yes, and the things that you think you can’t do, you can."

The programme will follow the campmates - including King of the Jungle Sam Thompson - as they leave the jungle for good and re-enter normal life.

It is thought that Grace decided to quit the series after undergoing her fourth Bushtucker Trial.

Immediately after that, she told 'This Morning' host Josie Gibson: "I’ve had enough. I’ve completely had enough. I just want to go home."

A source explained that Grace- who was initially thought to have left on "medical grounds - was having a "tough time" being so far away from her family and had been "pushed" to the limit by the trials she had to face.

Grace was having a tough time away from her family and struggled with the lack of sleep and good food. But more than anything she was really pushed to the brink by the gruelling trials this year.

"The Scarena series meant the celebrities were all taking part in more challenges than ever and Grace had just had enough.”

'I'm A Celebrity...Coming Out' airs on Wednesday 13 December on ITV and ITVX at 9pm.
