Before finding out which two celebrities were leaving the jungle the four remaining Jungle pals talked about their time in camp and what they had got out of it.

Fatima’s Journey
Talking about her time in the jungle Fatima said: “Jungle life has been the most wonderful experience I’ve ever had, I have a hard exterior but underneath I’m a softie. In the beginning everyone is tense you put up walls to protect yourself. The trials have been the best thing for me and failure wasn’t an option. The most memorable trial was when I got the cockroach stuck up my nose, it was a bit scary, I was concerned after a time and I was hoping it would come out but first a small meal worm came out but I could feel its little legs, it was itchy and tickling and my sinus was playing up and I felt nauseous and dizzy I tried to get rid of it.

“The biggest surprise was Peter Andre jumping out of the box, I was beside myself because if there was anybody I would like to be stuck in the jungle with, it’s Peter Andre.

I’ve learned to man up in the jungle but the worst moment was the morning after the night of treason

“I would consider myself a driving force and I motivate others into action and inspire feel factors, it is important to get best out of people to motivate them.

“I cannot believe I took part in Bed Bugs because my biggest fear is rats. So to stay in bed with rats was spooky and believe you me they do lots of droppings and then eat it so they stink from both ends and when they get close to you ranks smell. Now I think they are very cute to be honest that cured my fear of rats.

“I’ve got to know myself better; it’s brought me back to Fatima the person, being back in the jungle, I’ve got to quite like myself again. I can’t believe this has happened to me.”

Mark’s Journey
“When Emily came into the camp I thought ‘she’s hot’, she’s a true fighter, if I get out and we gel then who knows what might happen.
“Dougie will be a friend for life but when I first met Antony I didn’t know if I’d get on with him as much as I did.

“For the last 11 years I’ve watched this show and always said I wanted to do that then I was given the opportunity.

“I’ve missed my family and got homesick but I know how proud they are of me, I miss them so much but this experience has 110% made me a better person. It makes me emotional thinking about it because it has been the most wonderful experience. I’m proud and honoured every day that goes by I’ve won, every vote that’s been given me, I’ve won. I am an emotional person and I wear my heart on my sleeve, I really do. I loved singing with Crissy at night and having a laugh with Antony, I’ve had the time of my life.

“The biggest nightmare was during Bed Bugs with the rats, I really am petrified of them but when we finished the challenge and the bell rang it was the best feeling ever.

Dougie’s Journey
When Dougie first arrived and met up with his fellow celebrities, he thought he’s made a massive mistake in agreeing to take part in the show.

“I was super nervous and I thought, ‘what am I doing? I have nothing in common with these people’. I didn’t expect to get on with many of the others but I’ve met people that I’ll be friends with for a long time. I thought I wouldn’t get on with Mark but it’s awesome hanging out with him. The experience has been amazing, wicked, everything about the jungle is amazing. Anyone who gets the chance, should do it, it’s the coolest thing ever.

“I’ve learned to man up in the jungle but the worst moment was the morning after the night of treason (when Willie was so cross with them and Crissy was upset at their antics).

Antony’s Journey
“I didn’t want to do this, I thought I’d be the worst. There terror I went through when I went up in the helicopter, I thought it would be the worst hour of my life. Turns out it was the best decision I’ve ever made, I can’t believe I’ve lasted. I’ve been in bed with snakes, I’ve been allowed to do all the cooking, which has been heaven to me. I’ve got close to a lot of people including Crissy, my lovely boys Mark and Dougie, you’d think me and Mark would be complete opposites and Dougie would be somewhere in between but Mark is as sensitive as I am, he’s one of the most sensitive people I’ve met. There are good people in the world; you just have to seek them out. I’ve loved the highs and the lows, one simple phrase sums it up – no regrets. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. It’s been gobsmackingly brilliant and I’ve loved every minute, even the downsides, I never knew I’d love it as much as I have.”
