Gillian McKeith

ONE infamous I'm A Celebrity campmate who claims she's "never recovered" from the ITV series is Gillian McKeith.

The nutritionist and TV personality was dubbed one of the show's "most controversial" contestants.

She had been voted for SEVEN consecutive trials - but before taking part in the last one she fainted live on air.

It was back in 2010 when she collapsed and an onsite medic had to rush in to give her aid in front of stunned hosts Ant and Dec.

She was accused of faking the faint to get out of doing the trial.

She has always insisted it was genuine, saying she hadn’t eaten much that morning and does have a history of fainting.

"I tried telling them I was pregnant and they didn’t believe me," Gillian added recently.

"I said, 'I do actually believe I am pregnant and we really must take this seriously.'"

Natalie says she was pushed to the brink while facing her fear of heights and forced to eat fish eyes and kangaroo testicles.

She won just won star the day before she quit - and refused to stay a moment longer after being told the public wanted her to face another Bushtucker Trial.

Helen Flanagan

CORONATION Street star Helen Flanagan is another campmate who made the grave error of admitting she was scared of... well, everything.

The public seized on the opportunity to punish her by voting her to do SEVEN Bushtucker trials in a row back in 2012.

She can't say she wasn't warned by her soap bosses, however.

Speaking about what she was told before signing up to I'm A Celeb, Helen said: "Because I’m A Celebrity has been going on for so long, so many people have done the jungle out of Coronation Street.

THE notorious Lady Colin Campbell became a regular at Bushtucker Trials during the 2015 series.
