Grace Dent has left I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! on 'medical grounds'
The 50-year-old food critic and 'MasterChef' star has left the popular ITV show after 10 days on "medical grounds" after being selected for a number of gruelling Bushtucker trials.
A spokesperson said: "Unfortunately Grace Dent has left the show on medical grounds.
"She has been a great campmate and will be missed by her fellow celebrities and viewers alike."
Grace had been due to take part in the 'Down the Tubes' trial on Monday's (27.11.23) episode alongside 'This Morning' presenter Josie Gibson but 'EastEnders' star Danielle Harold is now set to take her place after receiving the third highest number of votes.
The restaurant critic was seen looking grim-faced following the news that she would be facing the latest trial and informed producers that she had had enough.
She had previously admitted to Josie that she was keen to "go home".
Grace said: "I've had enough. I've completely had enough. I just want to go home."
An insider claimed that she had been "struggling with the lack of sleep and good food".
The source told The Sun newspaper: "Grace was having a tough time away from her family and struggled with the lack of sleep and good food. But more than anything she was really pushed to the brink by the gruelling trials this year.
"The 'Scarena' series meant the celebrities were all taking part in more challenges than ever and Grace had just had enough."
Grace participated in a number of tough trials during her time in the Australian jungle and even had to have a cockroach removed from her ear in the 'Touchdown of Terror' challenge - where she was ultimately successful.
She said following the trial: "I really needed that. I really needed to be good in that trial because I was really doubting myself."
