During last night's episode viewers saw Grace tell the camera "I just want to go home" after spending a week in the jungle.

Prior to entering camp, the restaurant critic opened up about her fears for her I'm A Celeb experience, stating:

"Everything is filling me with a real sense of dread. But I am especially dreading being really hungry because I tend to eat four or five posh meals out a week because I am a restaurant critic.

"I know they are going to give me an eating trial and I am dreading putting even worse things in my mouth than I have in the past in fancy restaurants! I think I will be writing very stiff columns about the jungle food when I come out!"

Yesterday's episode saw Grace being voted to do the next trail alongside Josie Gibson. The 50-year-old appeared shocked at the decision, with her fellow campmates being quick to rally around her.

Due to her exit another celebrity will take Grace's place in the trial alongside Josie.

During her time on the show fans saw Grace take part in various challenges, including one in which she got an insect lodged in her ear.
