The latest episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! South Africa saw Gemma Collins complain about the "rancid" conditions in the Savanah Slump camp.

The reality TV star, was a late addition to the all-star show, making a dramatic entrance on Tuesday night, which saw her endure an awful eating challenge, where she faced dishes like brain freeze and fish eye pie.

In the episode, Collins spoke about her struggles adapting to jungle life, claiming that she is "going to need back surgery" after spending one night on one of the night beds.

Collins has certainly made her feelings about the camp conditions known.

“What have I done in my life to deserve this? It is just rancid", Collins told the Bush Telegraph. “The beds, I mean… I’m going to need back surgery after one night’s sleep. I mean, it is just Hell, basically". 

Elsewhere, Gemma Collins is then spotted asking fellow campmate Seann Walsh if he wants to "stay up and chat" as their fellow campmates get ready to settle down for the night.

“I’ve got to go to sleep, Gemma, because we didn’t sleep last night, because we were in a storm", Walsh replied.

At this point, Collins says: “If there’s a storm in the night, I’m topping and tailing with you. You can rub me feet", before adding that she would like a decent night's sleep so she can “crack on again tomorrow”.

 

"the nation loves her"

Later on, 40 year old comedian, Seann Walsh praises Collins: “Gemma has really helped morale in camp, you can see why the nation loves her. She’s absolutely fantastic". 

Gemma Collins, best known for starring in The Only Way Is Essex, had previously featured on the show in 2014, but quit after three days as she struggled to adapt to the environment, and has called her latest appearance "redemption". 

She even arrived into camp on a helicopter on Tuesday night, having broken down in tears during her last attempt 12 years earlier.
