Gemma Collins

Gemma Collins is donating the fee she gets for her time on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! to charity.

The star walked out of the ITV reality series after just three days and was rumoured to have claimed the full amount offered to appear on the show, but she's rubbished those claims.

Quizzed on This Morning about whether she received the full pay packed she explained: "No I didn't. I have been given a percentage which is going to charity and it's going to a children's charity for starving children because a lot of it was played on in there that, 'Oh Gemma's starving she's leaving the jungle'.

"I'll be honest with you, I was starving. I'm a plus size girl. I went from everything to 500 calories a day and that did affect me."

The TOWIE favourite also claimed she was supposed to be taking medication during the series, but she forgot to fly it out due to a personal incident just before her trip to Australia.

"When I went into the [Bush] Telegraph the room was spinning around, my blood sugar levels dropped, I'm meant to take insulin three times a day but with everything that happened to me I forgot to take my medication in the jungle as well."

She added: "It was all the shock trauma coming out. People don't know what I've been through... If people saw pictures, if people knew what I'd been through, they'd understand."
