Former EastEnders star Daniella Westbrook is already feeling the pressure after a new series of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here got underway in the Australian jungle. Two days into the ordeal, the 29-year-old broke down in tears as she explained how much she was missing husband Kevin and her children Kai, six, and 18-month-old Jodie B.

Danni became a media favourite after overcoming a long-running battle with drug addiction. She's now back in the spotlight after agreeing to take part in the tropical challenge, but it seems tensions are already developing between the contestants.

The blonde actress revealed that one of the other hopefuls is getting on her nerves. "There are lots of different personalities in here and it's hard," she said. "I've just bitten my tongue as I don't want to create bad feeling. There is one person really bugging me. I can't cope with it. If it gets any worse it's going to kick off."

"This is the first time I've been apart from Kevin since we got married – I'd never do it again, not for any job in the world. I know my friends are supporting me, but I can't see me hacking it."

The other celebs seem to be having less trouble in handling the strain, despite some rather unpleasant experiences. Soccer ace John Fashanu had to get up close and personal with a swarm of insects while model Catalina Guirado took the plunge in a muddy pool filled with snakes, crocodiles and leeches.
