The first campmate to be booted off this year’s series of I’m A Celebrity was announced to camp on Friday, with Loose Women’s Jane Moore the first evictee of the new series

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! star Jane Moore has made her first TV appearance after being evicted from the Australian jungle.

The TV star, 62, reunited with her Loose Women co-stars on Monday as she joined Christine Lampard, Linda Robson, Judi Love, and Brenda Edwards via video call from Down Under. During the call, Jane addressed her anger over being given the task of washing up by jungle camp leaders, Barry McGuigan and Danny Jones.

When asked about the backlash she received after standing up and calling both Barry and Danny ‘sexist’ for giving her the duty of washing up in camp, Jane said there was a deeper reason why she was so annoyed.

“The first eight or nine days I was collecting the logs, but when you do that, it’s not just collecting logs. You have to go down over a hundred steps, right down to the bottom of the jungle and then collect all the logs and bring them all the way back up those steps. I then had to keep the fire going, I was emptying the toilet and I was taking out the rubbish.

“You always have a camp workmate, but my workmate was Dean and the poor love was consistently on trials so he was always out of the camp and so I was doing it all on my own. In the first week, I was doing it all on my own – even though I am quite physically strong. I was trying to preserve my energy but by the end of week one, I was completely exhausted physically and mentally.”

Jane went on: “So when there was a change of leaders, I said to Danny to please not give me the task of washing up or cleaning as I called it, because that is actually the most physically draining and demanding job in camp because again you have to go up and down those hundreds of steps and it’s three if not four times a day, with two massive buckets full of all the dishes and cutlery.

“Then there’s a cast iron pot and frying pan. They didn’t hear me say that, so they gave me the washing up. Tulisa has a bad back too so the pair of us really struggled with that.”

During Friday’s instalment of I’m A Celebrity, it was announced that Loose Women’s Jane was the first campmate voted off the new series of the ITV show. Jane spoke to Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly following her departure, describing her stint in the jungle as “such a weird and magical experience”.

Whilst talking to Ant and Dec, Jane reflected on the experience of having been a campmate. When asked if she was disappointed to be first out, she responded: “No more washing up – yes!” She also stated that: “Hard work doesn’t get rewarded.”
