The 62 year old added: "The first time I went, I just thought, ‘No this is not for me’… so I thought no, so I booked two nights in this tent at like, another mortgage, you know.

“We spent the first night there, and I thought, ‘I can’t do this, I can’t do this’ so I got back in the car, because I live in Bristol."

Throwing the towel in, she confessed: "We got back in the car and we just drove home and watched it on the telly.

“I’d had enough, I said, ‘I can’t do another night’.”
