Grace Dent, the Masterchef star who joined this year's season of I'm a Celebrity, has decided to leave the show due to medical reasons. Dent's departure comes after a series of challenging trials and her confession that she just wants to go home. The broadcaster ITV confirmed the news, stating that Dent will be missed by her fellow celebrities and viewers.
Tough Trials and a Breaking Point
Dent, who was set to participate in the trial called Down the Tubes, received the news of her departure with a grim face. It seems that the food critic had reached her limit, facing a string of difficult trials. Just days ago, Dent expressed to Josie Gibson that she had had enough and wanted to go home. Sources revealed that Dent was struggling with being away from her family, lack of sleep, and proper food. However, it was the demanding trials of this year's Scarena series that pushed her over the edge.
A Mix of Challenges and Some Triumphs
During her time in the jungle, Dent faced various tough trials. She showcased her skills in the brand new twist on Walk The Plank called Pole Position and also participated in the group challenge called Locker Shocker, where she nearly gave up. However, Dent experienced a boost of confidence when her team won the Touchdown of Terror trial. Despite needing medical attention for a cockroach in her ear, Dent felt relieved and said it was a much-needed confidence boost.
A Dose of Humor Amidst the Challenges
Although Dent faced many hardships during her time in the jungle, she also found moments of laughter. She shared a laugh over Nigel Farage, who was often seen in his underpants. Dent jokingly stated that seeing Farage in his underwear had become a normal part of her life, and she couldn't remember a time before him in his pants.
With Dent's departure, EastEnders star Danielle Harold is expected to take her place in the show. As the season continues, viewers will see how the remaining celebrities fare in the challenging trials and if any other surprises are in store.
