Thanks for everything." before leaving camp," as she promised that she would give Josie's son Reggie an extra big hug.

My Josie, I am rooting for her so much. She is so much stronger than she thinks she is. She is missing that little one so much but she has got this I know she has."
Looking at the trials and challenges she did during her 20 days in camp, she looked back at Pole Position the trial she did to enter camp. "I was terrified, honestly, absolutely petrified but I have conquered my fears of heights. Bugs not so much," she said.
Rooting for Sam to win, she said: "He has literally become like a brother. I think we are both a bit crazy and a bit loud. When someone matches your energy like that, he just makes me laugh. I am so glad that this was my year. you know sometimes you're watching thinking 'I wouldn't want to be in there' but with them there was not one bad person in there, even Mr Farage."
Her I'm A Celebrity adventure ended 24 hours after she had to have a tick removed. She joked: “Jungle experience, tick… tick.” She also got to be camp leader earlier in the week, which meant she could sleep in the camper van.
And she admitted she was surprised to make friends with everyone in camp including Farage, saying in the bush telegraph: “I never in a million years thought I’d have a friendship like this with Nigel, ever. Ever. We’re like, complete opposite in our views.”
On her final day she told Marvin Humes about how she became an actor, via Jamie Oliver's Dream School. She said: “I won a scholarship and with the money I made a showreel. With that I met an agent. She was like... ‘I can’t take you on my books’… three days after she called me up and said, ‘I just so happen to have an audition drop on my table and I’ve got nobody on my books that fits, they want a young blonde girl.’” Days later she had a role in EastEnders.

Before going into camp, Danielle had said she planned to get back into acting in 2024 once she finished her jungle adventure. She said: "I’d love to continue to act. Obviously, we’ve had the strikes in America at the moment so that’s had a massive effect over here and so everything’s been dialled down. So I was just so lucky when this came up and I’m so grateful that I have the time to do it and that they’ll have me.
"I would love to do a comedy, I really would, it would be so lovely to do something funny. As you say, the storyline was so hard and it was a really sad story to do. So it would be lovely to do something a lot lighter."
Her exit comes hot off the heels of previously evicted Nick Pickard, Fred Siriex, Nella Rose and Frankie Dettori, who have all left camp in the last few days. Earlier in the series, Grace Dent and Jamie Lynn Spears both left the show due to medical grounds.
In his exit interview, Nick Pickard spilled a ton of jungle secrets including when Tony Bellew used his mic like a phone to alert producers to a spider - but was not happy with how it was dealt with. Nick explained: "We had some funny moments Tony, there was one night in Snake Rock on the second night because it takes a while after the first couple of days to adjust.

"We saw he's walking around and I thought 'what is he doing' because we've all got the radios on and he's going 'guys guys guys' talking into his mic. I thought he was talking to himself but he goes 'there's a massive Spider in here'. It was on the TV and it was like a tarantula. But the guys send in the security and I mean like, you know, you don't never see them on the telly but the security guys come in and couldn't catch him because they're fast. And so he just batted it into the bushes and went 'you're alright it's just a Huntsman right'. But yeah a Huntsman isn't great when you don't like the sound of it. Tony never went to bed the rest of that night yeah! He said, ''Im not sleeping in there, it was massive'. That was funny."
Nick also explained how Jamie Lynn's exit from the jungle was botched by producers.
He revealed: "We had 12 days of rain and once for 48 hours it did not stop. That was the night Jamie Lynn went and we had to all huddle, because the only place that's protected in there from the lightning is the Bush Telegraph because it's the only place that is reinforced with steel. So we're all in there. And we were in there for ages. And that's when Jamie Lynn had the old like 'oh my god',
"I think she told him just before that she was going on her medical grounds and we're all huddled in. That was the worst night by far because it was 48 hours non stop," he said, "We couldn't wait to get out of there. But then we had to go back out. It was still raining and the thing is with the canopy when it's even there, the rain still comes in from the side when it's tropical like that."
