Grace Dent, the popular Masterchef star, has made the decision to leave the hit reality show I’m A Celebrity due to medical reasons. The announcement was made by ITV, the broadcaster of the show. Dent’s departure comes after a series of grueling trials and her candid confession that she simply wants to go home.
A Difficult Journey
Dent was scheduled to participate in the upcoming trial, Down the Tubes, but her departure means that EastEnders star Danielle Harold may now take her place. The food critic endured a string of challenging trials during her time on the show, with her final effort proving to be too much. Dent expressed her exhaustion to producers, stating that she had reached her limit.
Grace’s Breaking Point
Fans speculate that Dent’s decision to quit came after she was voted to do her fourth Bushtucker trial, Down The Tubes, which was shown at the end of Sunday night’s episode. Just a few days prior, Dent had admitted to fellow contestant Josie Gibson that she had had enough and wanted to return home. Sources close to Dent revealed that she struggled with being away from her family, lack of sleep, and proper nutrition. However, it was the demanding trials this year that ultimately pushed her to her breaking point.
Tough Trials and Some Laughs
During her time on I’m A Celebrity, Dent faced several tough trials, including the new challenge Pole Position, where she performed admirably. However, she struggled during the group Locker Shocker challenge. Dent did find success in the Touchdown of Terror trial, where her team emerged victorious. Despite a cockroach crawling into her ear, Dent expressed her relief and self-doubt, stating that she needed the win. Additionally, Dent found some amusement in Nigel Farage’s habit of being half-naked in camp, saying that it had become a normal sight for her.
Grace Dent’s departure from I’m A Celebrity due to medical reasons has left her fellow celebrities and viewers saddened. She will be missed for her resilience and humor throughout her time on the show.
