Sadly, there were two celebrities whose time in the jungle ended early, with Grace Dent and Jamie Lynn Spears both withdrawing from the competition due to medical reasons.

Nick Pickard revealed Dent's parting goodbye: "My dear campmates, I'm so sorry to let you down. I have left the camp for medical reasons. My heart is broken, I have loved and enjoyed getting to know you all.
"You've held me up and it’s been a pleasure being your friend through this experience. Leaving you all at this stage will be one of the saddest things in my life. I love you all. Your friend, Miss Grace Dent."
