Speaking about her opening show of the popular reality series on I'm a Celebrity: Extra Camp, Holly said that she was "relieved, like massively" to have done it, adding: "It's just so overwhelming this show, you walk in and you're here, like you've watched this on TV, it's been part of my life for years and now I'm here. It's surreal."

Dec added: "It's really nice for me seeing it through someone else's eyes as well, going round everything like, 'Oh my God'. I've been here a long time now. The first day we went down and showed Holly the camp and I said, 'This is where we stand' and then I looked round and she wasn't there. She was at the entrance of the camp and just looking up and little tears in her eyes."
