‘I’ve gone past the point in caring about what I look like’, Gemma told Scarlett.

‘We’re under scrutiny all the time and I never used to worry about it, but because everyone goes on about body image, you become thinking you’re disgusting and ugly everyday because of all the pressure and people saying horrible things and actually I’m just alright as I am you know.’

She added in the Bush Telegraph: ‘This is me. I get sick of it, this diet, that diet, this pen, that pen.

‘At the end of the day we just have to accept all of us come in different shapes and sizes and we can all be beautiful in our own way.

‘It’s really in the heart, beauty is in the eye of the beholder at the end of the day.’

Fans praised Gemma for opening up about her weight and body image struggles on national TV.

Gemma revealed she lost one stone following her jungle stint, which was filmed in September 2025.

Elsewhere in the episode, fans were left in hysterics as Gemma held her hands up and said ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’

After Harry Redknapp returned to camp with a letter revealing they had to take part in another prison-style trial during the night, Gemma completely had enough.

Overwhelmed with the thought of another trial, Gemma suddenly declared she was ready to quit the jungle – only to find out Harry was pranking the camp.

Gemma famously only lasted 72 hours during her first jungle stint, which was in 2014.

In floods of tears while laughing, Gemma joked: ‘A brilliant end to a lovely day!’

Harry said: ‘That was right up my street, a proper wind up! They fell for it, hook line and sinker. Gemma’s gone I’m A Celebrity, they were gutted. It worked a treat.’

Beverly Collard said: ‘Harry, I believed you! You need a job in Coronation Street.’
