I’m a Celebrity broadcaster ITV said the MasterChef star had left the show for “medical reasons” and was seen at Brisbane Airport at the start of her journey home.

A spokesperson explained: “Unfortunately, Grace Dent has left the show due to health reasons.
“She was a great campmate and will be missed by her fellow celebrities and viewers.”
Grace was due to take part in tonight’s Down the Tubes trial.
When Ant and Dec confirmed that Grace and Josie Gibson had been chosen, she looked dejected, as Josie buried her face in her hands.
Soon after, she decided to leave the jungle and was spotted this morning going through security at Brisbane Airport on her way home.
EastEnders star Danielle Harold, who came third in the vote, is expected to take her place.
Food critic Grace was pushed to the brink after having to face a series of trials and her latest attempt proved to be one task too many and she told the producers that she had had enough.
Fans believe the moment Grace decided to quit came when she was chosen for her fourth Bushtucker trial, Down The Tubes, at the end of Sunday night’s show.
She was criticized for her “lack of effort” during the group trial.
Consequently, viewers decided to “punish” Grace by voting her to do more trials, prompting her to threaten to quit.
She admitted to Josie Gibson that she was fed up, saying: “I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough. I just want to go home.”
After that moment, it became clear that Grace was going to have a hard time recovering and was destined for an early exit.
A source said: “Grace has had a hard time being away from her family and struggling with a lack of sleep and good food. But more than anything, she was pushed to the edge by the exhausting trials of this year.
“The Scarena series meant that all the celebrities were taking part in more challenges than ever, and Grace just had enough.”
During her time at the camp, Grace took part in a number of tough challenges, including a brand new twist on Walk The Plank called Pole Position – where she impressed – and the Locker Shocker group challenge where she almost gave up.
Fans were also worried about her health.
One viewer insisted: “Grace needs to see a sick looking doctor!”
Another commented: “Grace looks sicker every time they show her. I didn’t vote for her to take part because she doesn’t look well enough to stand up, never mind something more energetic!”
But she was buoyed by her success in Touchdown of Terror, when her team won when a limping Nella Rose pulled the emergency cord to quit.
Despite needing medical attention when a cockroach got into her ear, a victorious Grace said: “I really needed that. I really needed to do well in that trial because I was really doubting myself.”
It wasn’t all bad times for Grace, though, after she got a laugh out of the always-naked Nigel Farage.
On Saturday night’s show, footage showed Nigel in his underpants washing himself in the sink.
Grace laughed, “It’s the worst… it’s completely normal to me.” I feel like I’ve always seen Nigel Farage in his pants. I just feel like it’s always been a part of my life.
“I can’t remember a time before Nigel Farage in his trousers.”
