I'm A Celebrity... South Africa's Fatima Whitbread breaks down in tears tonight during an emotional chat with her co-stars.
The former javelin thrower has an intimate chat with Helen Flanagan and Carol Vorderman when she opens up about the first years of her life.
She begins talking about being adopted and living in a children's home for some time when she becomes upset talking about the subject.
The trio are washing up when Helen says she wasn't very domesticated when she left home due to being helped out by her mum and sister so much.
This is when Fatima opens up about her own experience.

"The only way you would get your pocket money was to make sure your jobs were done throughout the week."
In a separate interview, Carol says: "Fatima was telling us about her childhood in children's homes and she's an inspirational woman."

She only lived down the road to me Auntie Ray. I'd look out this little port window and watch when she went home because I'd be really sad when she was off duty really sad.
"So, I'd look out where she goes and this one day I decided to pick all the daffodils and I hid them behind my back and knocked on the door and when she opened the door I said 'will you be my mum?'.
"And she said 'Fats I've got to be mum to all you kids so I can't always be here'."
Fatima then becomes emotional as she reminisces about her childhood.

The clip ends with Fatima in a separate interview saying: "There's a lot of history that I've forgotten about in my life and when I spoke about it, it brought it all to the surface again.
"Yeah it brought a tear to my eye so I'll always be forever grateful to my Auntie Ray who was actually the star in my life."
