Understandable

They’re treating themselves.

Jennie McAlpine, who took part in the latest series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! appeared on Lorraine this morning and revealed that a number of her campmates have fallen ill since leaving the reality show.

The latest series finished on Sunday night when Made in Chelsea’s Georgia Toffolo was named the winner and since then, most of the contestants have returned home.

Just before Lorraine thanked her for joining in on today’s show, she mentioned I’m A Celeb and that’s when Jennie revealed that all her jungle pals have been under the weather.

Why?

The Coronation Street actress went on to say that the Bushwhackers, the name of the Whatsapp group they’re all in, have been overindulging after going without food during their time Down Under.

Jennie said:

“They’re all ill. Everyone’s eating too much and I think I just ate that mince pie. They’re dropping like flies saying “I’m ill, I’m ill, I’m ill”. So everybody if you’re watching get well soon and stop eating.”

The mother of one also chatted about her role as Fiz Brown on Coronation Street and how she’s soon launching a new cooking series.
