Gemma Collins has left the I'm A Celebrity... jungle. The TOWIE star had struggled to cope with life in camp since the show began, and on Wednesday decided to quit after just three days.

Gemma's short time on the ITV programme was certainly eventful

; from her complaints about jungle food to her

self-diagnosis of malaria

. And there was her

 shaky start to the show

– the 33-year-old suffered a panic attack before she'd even entered camp, after becoming hysterical on the helicopter. "I got into the chopper and suddenly felt very scared but thought I can't show anyone I'm scared, but I cried like a baby and I don't think I’m going to be able to do this jungle lark," she later explained.

Once Gemma did arrive in the jungle, she was put in the Celebrity Slammer, which meant she was only given porridge to eat. Speaking on Monday's show, she told Nadia, "I'm not enjoying it one bit. I just don't want to do it. It's too hard. If that makes me a quitter, then that's who I am."
