The 50-year-old had been picked to do the latest Bushtucker trial, titled Down The Tubes, with fellow campmate Josie Gibson.
Following her departure, EastEnders actress Danielle Harold will now take part in the trial alongside Gibson, according to the PA news agency.
I quite agree …

Day 9
Fred has decided to form a boy band to celebrate Tony’s imminent birthday - details to follow … 
The BTT - Down the Tubes - Josie and Danielle suspended in cages containing critters - Josie extracting balls, throwing them to Danielle, who secured them - then the floor released to drop the ladies to the bottom of the gorge … 10/12 … Well, done, ladies … 
Unsurprisingly, Nella associated herself with their success … “All the ladies have done trials” … quite, but she’s the only two-time loser … 
JLS opened up about the accident in which her eight-year-old child almost died … blimey, I was almost in tears … 
… her daughter was two minutes under water and seemingly lifeless … but made a miraculous recovery … 
Grace’s goodbye letter was read out.
New - Camp Leader Sam - Deputy Marvin … needless to say, Sam was quite pleased … 
Dinner, courtesy of Josie and Danielle, was an Ostrich Egg - converted into egg fried rice with loads of veggies … 
Currently … Tony, Sam and Marvin are in the Misery Motel for what will be an unpleasant night … and will be joined by 2 more campers later …

oh to be snotty nosed kids again playing jungle games - yuck - australia can be rugged and mukky at times but this banal! - david attenborough for me on the other channel
I am warming to Josie she seems a decent girl . I remember her from Big Brother house .
Sam , again some one ive never known of im liking even more . I know hes bouncy and springy but such a happy smiley lad , he really cuddles with such meaning and i think hes a good bloke . If more of us were like him in the world it would be a happier place . I read somewhere he has ADHD guessing that is to do with his excessive energy but i do like him , he makes me smile .

The body language then goes on to predict Nigel Farage will find it hard taking orders from someone else, saying: "It seems that Sam being made camp leader is a running joke within the camp. Nigel has been quite vocal. It’s clear his nose was really put out of joint over the fact he wasn’t chosen. He is a natural leader and it’s a difficult position for him to have someone else running the camp.
"Frankie Dettori also put his two pence in, saying he would like to have gone to the Misery Motel. Frankie and Nigel are the two campmates who were most impacted by the decision. I most definitely think there was jealousy from Frankie and Nigel. Nigel has taken this show as an opportunity to get back into the spotlight, and he previously spoke about getting airtime. His nose is most definitely out of joint. He thought he would have been given more airtime and tasks, which has slightly backfired.
I had noticed those disapproving looks … 
Day 9 (cont’d)
Sam, Marvin and Tony in the Misery Motel - each had to collect 10 coins from a critter-infested room - none of them was happy about the critters but Marvin got 10, Tony and Sam got 7 each. Onto a vending machine where, with the coins, they purchased 5 stars for dinner, 2 stock cubes, a bar of chocolate and a chef’s apron …
Day 10
Back at camp, Josie was having trouble in the dunny … apparently it stinks … 
Nella and Nigel butted heads again … over cultural appropriation - inevitably, most of the campers sided with Nella … 
A BTT - Dreaded Beds - at the Misery Motel - Frankie (keen) and Nella (resigned) - Nella rejected Nigel’s well-intended approaches but was content to bask in other camper’s deluded belief that she’s a winner …
Onto the motel - two rooms, two beds, Frankie reads the numbers, Nella undoes the locks with numbers - snakes for company … not exactly a demanding exercise but Nella failed to open any of the locks with the correct numbers that Frankie provided … she’s now a three-time loser …
Back at camp - the returns:
Sam, Marvin and Tony - with gifts in Sam’s pants - happy campers … 
Frankie and Nella - nothing to show - sympathetic (deluded) campers … 
Later … a downpour forced the campers to the fireside, where a chocolate ration raised spirits … except for JLS, who was reminded of home and became truly despondent for some time, even proposing to leave …
Dinner, too, provided a welcome surprise - venison - but only half a ration because of Nella’s failure … nevertheless, Fred, in his apron, made an apparently excellent meal with what he was given … 
Day 11
BTT - Nella is with the medic (*) - Nigel and Nick will be In Too Deep … 
(*) Of course, she may have been bitten by one of the snakes … but I’m suspicious … 
I think Nella is quite rude , i dont think Nigel has said or done anything wrong or racist . I would love to sit and talk with him he is an interesting man , polite and a gentleman . I dont think Nella really made a big effort in her trial but did you see that snake hanging on to her clothes , that could have been her skin .

I agree … she’s full of herself, despite having no obvious reason to be - the adulation of a million fashion-followers on YouTube/TikTok and a couple of minor presenting roles on obscure TV has presumably convinced her that she is a qualified “interviewer”, entitled to “interrogate” those that she doesn’t like, seemingly men.
It’s noticeable, though, that her relationship with women is very different - all of the female campers support her and last night Josie went so far as to say “I loves Nella - she’s so funny”.
She’s back … allegedly:
Nella had to be seen urgently by medics for a “physical medical emergency” that befell her in camp. She was treated immediately and was able to return to the main site within hours.
A source said: “It was unfortunate timing that Nella had to be taken out of camp just before the live scenes. She had to be seen by the team with a physical, medical emergency but it was dealt with swiftly. This wasn’t anything to do with her mental health.”
Apparently JLS has left.
Nella is acting like a big spoiled toddler. She fell out with Fred then made up with him, fell out with Nigel and now more or less ignores him or just walks away when he is trying to speak to her.
Nigel said if a white person said “water” the same way as she does it would be classed as cultural appropriation. She says its Jamaican patois but she’s from the Congo by way of Belgium!!
She also has this annoying habit of trying to whisper things to campmates about other people.

Blimey … not entirely unexpected after the Big Weep last night but I thought she’d last longer:
You’re right … just like a child, she’s seeking attention …
Do the camp mates still get paid if they walk away ?
Crikey did you see that huge water snake going for Nick in the water it was attacking him . I wonder if camp mates get bitten

Jamie’s Dad might know.
I wonder what visa they are on? If they walk away they might get flung into immigration detention for breaking the condition of their visa. (408?)
