She said: "Every couple of years I'll put it on for friends and we'll have a right giggle about it.

"I could blame it all on the production, but the fact is I was trying to be Chaka Khan and failing dismally. But, bad as it was, I'm glad that I gave it a crack. It means I won't be thinking, 'What if…' on my deathbed."

Before heading into the jungle, Lisa admitted that she feared that she might suffer a "crazy meltdown" in the jungle as she was already battling crippling homesickness.

The model-turned-TV star was struggling to cope after having to give up her mobile phone in the week before the show’s launch.

She told The Mirror: “I will get emotional for sure but again that is all part of me coming out of this experience as a stronger person and dealing with stuff like that.

“If it ever gets to the stage where I get a letter from home I think I will most definitely be sobbing…

“I hope there is no kind of crazy meltdown…

“Even this first week not having my phone on me, not being in contact with my family and friends, has been a big deal."
