Gemma Collins left the I’m A Celebrity jungle following issues she’d had with her ex-boyfriend.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: “A personal and very serious incident that happened to me hours before I flew to Australia affected me in camp far more than I could have imagined and I just couldn’t carry on in there"
Gemma called the police to her home on 8 November claiming she had been assaulted by her ex, Alex, 34. A few days later he handed himself into police and has since been released on bail.
Here's a video of Gemma's worst moments...
She continued: “The jungle was harder than I ever expected, I am just not as strong as I thought I was. “It was my decision to go in regardless and I never expected not to complete my time in there.
“I am so, so sorry that I have let people down, but I had to make the decision to walk away.”

I'm A Celebrity 2014: Gemma Collins most iconic statements
1 of 8gemma-collins-towie-sad-crying
"People are going to see the real bare, stripped-back me. I might just become Bear Grylls, you never know."We never did get to see Gemma chowing down on a raw snake, drinking her own urine or sleeping inside a rancid camel (yep, Bear Grylls has seriously done all of those things).

"Yeah alright, I've cracked at the first hurdle. It's like the turtle and the slug or the horse and the rabbit or something, I can't remember what it is."Who could forget the age-old story of the turtle and the slug?

"If they don’t give us a treat I’m going to kill myself.”Well, the suicide threats didn’t work, but outside of the jungle is a plentiful world of treats just waiting for Gem.

"I've never been in a shower which takes so much hard work but you've just got to roll with it, like Oasis said."

"I feel like I’ve got malaria. My poo is bright fluorescent yellow, we’ve got to get out of here today.”Symptoms of malaria do not include yellow poo, constant whinging or an Essex accent, sorry Gem.

"Seriously, I'd give anything for a bit of dried fruit. Dried fruit! I'm not even asking for a ham sandwich. You know what I mean? With a packet of Quavers on the side."We’re not sure dried fruit is the best remedy for fluorescent yellow diarrhea Gem, maybe just stick to dry bread and water until the ‘malaria’ clears up.

"People that murder get treated better than this, and that's the truth. Even a murderer gets fed three times a day."Murderers also don’t get paid at least £25,000 to go on a jolly holiday to Australia either. They also tend not to have strops and quit their sentences, but who cares about the details….

"If I'm not in that camp in three minutes, I'm quitting."That’s what the helicopter was for, Gem.
