Caitlyn Jenner was anxious about showering on ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’
The 70-year-old former Olympian – who underwent gender reassignment in 2015 – was baffled by some of the rules on the reality show but understood why producers wanted to catch the stars wearing next to nothing, though it wasn’t a "private moment" she was willing to share.
Appearing on ‘Loose Women’ on Tuesday (28.01.20), Caitlyn revealed: "You have no idea the anxiety I’ve gone through to wear a bathing suit. I did it first on my show ‘I Am Cait’ and I was scared to death.
"When you go in, they give you these dos and don’ts. There’s no swearing, this and that but nudity’s ok. And I’m going, ‘Wait a minute, I can’t swear but I can walk around with no clothes on? This doesn’t seem right.’ I knew they wanted to get some kind of shot of something like that. That’s a private moment, I wasn’t about to give it to them."
Instead, the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star asked her fellow campmates, former Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle and ‘Good Morning Britain’ presenter Kate Garraway, for some help whilst changing in order to preserve her modesty.
She explained: "We had these big towels and everything and I said, ‘Hold those things up.’ I had just done this trial with Roman [Kemp], which was the grossest, ugliest…with intestines coming down on us and bugs, it was just horrible. Of course, they don’t let you clean up there, you have to go all the way back to the camp.
"By the time you get back to the camp, my hair was as hard as a rock and the showers are obviously cold water and not a lot of water."
However, Caitlyn called her time in Australia a "good experience" and decided to head Down Under to show she isn’t hiding and has a great life.
She added: "The gender non-confirming world or the trans world were not hiding. I’m gonna live a life, and I want other people to see that. That I have a life and that life is good."
