CANDID CAMP

I was I’m A Celeb’s most memorable contestant – I know which camp mate is being the most real

I'M A Celebrity's Gillian McKeith has revealed the "most real" contestant in the current series in an exclusive chat with The Sun Online.

The TV presenter, 63, is well-placed to sniff out the camp fakers after causing a huge stir herself in the jungle during her 2010 stint.

You Are What You Eat host Gillian was notoriously known for fainting during the challenges during her time Down Under.

Yet this doesn't seem to have dampened her I'm A Celeb excitement, after she was confirmed in the line-up for I'm A Celeb All Stars, to be aired next year.

She has now spoken exclusively to The Sun to give her take on the latest bunch of campmates.

Mum of two Gillian, who is backing Mike Tindall for success, told us: "I also love Owen, he is so natural and handsome and kind.

"I think he is the most real in the camp. He is just being himself."

Gillian then added: "I think Jill is amazing too and a contender to win."

Earlier in the week, Gillian was first to claim that Matt Hancock was "manipulating" camp.

She has told us she thinks politician Matt is "manipulating" the other stars.

She said: "You do get a sense from him that he is lacking self awareness, but when it comes to politicians they are so clever, they are very good at weaving people into their web and making themselves appear extremely amiable and kind and caring.

"He is demonstrating all of these qualities on the show so of course he could be manipulating us because aren’t politicians like that?"

Not holding back Gillian added: "It’s totally the Matt Hancock show, 100 per cent.

"I do not agree with sitting MPs leaving their works to go and do another job and abandoning their constituency that they are being paid to do work for. It doesn’t make sense to me at all.

"It’s completely wrong, I don’t understand why he doesn't see that. You have to be completely tone deaf to not understand that, especially in light of where we have come from."

But in a moment of reflection she said: "That said, Matt Hancock is also coming across very well, he is so amiable, he is like the guy you would want to know.

"He is very skilled at doing this. I think if he is not out first, then he has a chance of winning.

"It will be extreme - he will either be out first or in the running to win."
