Rebekah Vardy has become the third star to leave the I'm A Celebrity jungle – to the shock of her fellow campmates. The mother-of-four appeared emotional as the news broke that she would be exiting the competition after going head-to-head with Vanessa White. Of her experience, Rebekah told hosts Ant and Dec: "Do you know what? I've had the most amazing time – but I'm so glad I'm out of there. It was an amazing experience and something I will never, ever forget." The 35-year-old – who was greeted by her father Carlos as she left the jungle - added: "I've learnt that I'm so miserable and cranky sometimes and I can give looks that literally kill! But I have learnt how to be compassionate. You have all got to be there for each other and support each other. I have definitely become more tolerant."

Asked what she would do next, she answered: "I can't wait to hug my kids, eat and eat and eat and drink lots of coffee. I would like Toff to win – she reminds me of myself, she is so determined and so strong and so gorgeous. She has got big competition though, I think Amir has a chance."

The 35-year-old has accused fellow campmate Iain Lee of being "fake"

During her time on the show, Rebekah had branded fellow campmate Iain Lee "fake" – and she didn't hold back when asked about the comedian on spin-off show Extra Camp. "Honestly, he is so fake," she said. "I have spent a lot of time with Iain and I was so careful what I said on the VT, and what I didn't – but now I will let it out. He has got a game plan and I hate when people pretend to be something they are not. He is going in there to win and he is playing the sympathy card, and he isolates himself from the rest of the camp, and then as soon as the cameras are on he wants the limelight."
