Anne Hegerty has sworn off reality TV shows.
The 61-year-old quiz master took part in the 2018 series of ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’, but has since vowed to never sign up for another reality show after she broke down on the first night in the Australian jungle.
Anne told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: "It’s probably best to quit while I’m ahead.
"I’m really good at being in the jungle crying a lot, having mealworms down my bra."
Anne had a very tough experience on the ITV show, and became the fifth person to be voted off the survival game show.
However, she later confessed that she actually tried to quit after just a few hours in camp.
She told hosts Declan Donnelly and Holly Willoughby: "I felt like we were walking in to hell and we got to Snake Rock and I couldn’t process it, the reality hit me and I was like, ‘What have I done?’
"I went into the BT [Bush Telegraph] the next morning and said, ‘I quit.’ And they said, ‘Come back in a few hours.’ I was a zombie in Snake Rock for the first 24 hours."
Meanwhile, ‘The Chase’ star previously admitted the UK being in lockdown "actually really suits" her, although she’s sympathetic to people who are struggling.
Anne said: "I feel really slightly guilty about it, but honestly I am literally the luckiest person in the UK right now, because I am absolutely fine staying on my own and I’ve been thinking for ages how wonderful it would be to have a nice, long guilt-free sabbatical.
"So, to be honest, this is working for me, if I just wasn’t worrying about how it’s not working for other people, obviously.
"Apart from missing recording ‘The Chase’, this actually really suits me."
