This year's series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! must be one of the friendliest ones in the history of the show. Although there's tension between Noel and Nick, and Noel and Malique (and Noel and everyone, tbh), the 11 jungle campmates seem to be getting on hugely well overall.

And this could be wildly incorrect, but we're pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that The Chase's Governess, Anne Hegerty, has been so open and honest about her Autism, and the others have come together to look after her like they haven't done in previous series.

In Monday night's episode (26th Nov), viewers of the show voted for Anne to take part in the Hellish Hospital Bushtucker trial - which was then aired on last night's show. The 60-year-old was forced to enter a series of grizzly rooms filled with all sorts of critters and creatures, having to plunge her hands into gross bits to attempt to get 11 stars for the camp.

Although she was unable to face a cupboard of spiders and what appeared to be a Komodo dragon, Anne won a whopping seven stars for the camp, and they were rewarded with Silkie chicken for their evening meal.

Although many viewers had been apprehensive over whether Anne would be able to handle the challenge, they were overjoyed by her attitude and determination, with many taking to Twitter after the show to congratulate her.

One wrote, 'Seeing Anne coming out of her shell is lovely. The camp are so supportive of her and she's benefitting so much from it', as another added, 'We all have our own mountains to climb and boundaries to push. Anne is doing great and has done more to push herself than many people will ever do!'

Another praised the campmates for their behaviour towards Anne, with one tweeting, 'I love how supportive and caring these camp mates are.. they're the loveliest I've ever seen in #ImACeleb', as another wrote, 'So proud of Anne! Loved when she talked to the animals too 😂. 7 stars is amazing!' [sic]
