Grace Dent departs from the I'm A Celebrity jungle due to medical reasons

ITV has confirmed that food critic Grace Dent has left the reality TV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here. Dent had entered the Australian jungle along with Nigel Farage, Jamie Lynn Spears, and Marvin Humes just over a week ago. ITV announced that Dent had left the show due to medical reasons. They acknowledged her as a great campmate who will be missed by both her fellow celebrities and the viewers. On Sunday's episode, Dent was captured on camera saying that she wants to go home. Dent was supposed to participate in the latest Bushtucker trial with Josie Gibson, but following her departure, EastEnders actress Danielle Harold will take her place. Dent had previously expressed her struggles in the jungle and her desire to leave. This year's I'm A Celebrity has had lower viewership compared to last year's series, which featured Matt Hancock. The current season's launch episode had a consolidated audience of seven million in its first week, whereas the previous year's launch attracted nearly 12 million viewers. Other campmates this year include Sam Thompson, Fred Sirieix, Nella Rose, and Nick Pickard. Frankie Dettori and Tony Bellew joined the group a few days after the initial contestants entered the camp.
