When asked by hosts Julia Morris and Dr Chris Brown what she learnt most about herself during her time in the jungle, Abbie said: “Honestly, that I have more to learn.
“Everyone that was in the camp is such an amazing person. I’ve learned I have so much more to learn and grow. I love you all so much, you made me a better person.”
Meanwhile Grant said he didn’t realise how emotional filming was going to be before he went into the jungle.
“I thought it was just a TV show,” he admitted about his impression of ‘I’m A Celeb’ before the experience. “It turns out it’s so much more. I don’t know what it was about being in the jungle and why – stuff was coming out.”
The TV host said he’s “embarrassed about some of the crying” on the show and that he “did a fair bit of healing in there”.
‘I’m a Celeb’ premiered earlier this month with 10 famous faces: Abbie Chatfield, Ash Williams, Grant Denyer, Jack Vidgen, Jess Eva, Mel Buttle, Paulini Curuenavuli, Toni Pearen and Travis Varcoe. Since then, Robert ‘Dipper’ DiPierdomenico, Pettifleur Berenger, Colin Fassnidge and Alli Simpson, and ‘Gogglebox’ stars Adam Densten and Symon Lovett then joined later on as campmates.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the show was pre-recorded over four weeks in Australia instead of being filmed live in the usual South African jungle. However, viewers were able to vote for the eventual winner .
The celebrities lived on a diet of rice and beans and competed in physically demanding challenges in a bid to win $100,000 for their chosen charity.
