Gillian admitted that she felt like she had been "kidnapped" after she was blindfolded in the back of a van.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Gillian said: "I was once blindfolded and taken in a van that was all blacked out and I didn't know where I was.
"I felt like I had been kidnapped. It was quite sinister."
You Are What You Eat host Gillian was notoriously known for fainting during the challenges during her time Down Under.

The star explained that the journey to the trails left her in a worked-up state.
"It’s really isolating going to these trials as no one speaks to you and you don’t know what is going on or where you are going," she continued.
"I was terrified of everything, so I was constantly working myself up to different levels of craziness inside my body."
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."
