I’m A Celeb star Grace Dent QUITS jungle ‘on medical grounds’ after fan concerns
GRACE Dent has quit I’m A Celebrity after a run of horror trials and confessing: "I just want to go home."
I'm a Celebrity broadcaster ITV said the Masterchef star is leaving the show on "medical grounds".
A spokesperson explained: "Unfortunately Grace Dent has left the show on medical grounds.
"She has been a great campmate and will be missed by her fellow celebrities and viewers alike."
Grace was due to take part in tonight's trial Down the Tubes and was seen looking grim faced at the news she has been voted to do it.
EastEnders star Danielle Harold, who received the third highest number of votes, is now expected to take her place.

The food critic had been pushed to the brink after having to face a run of trials and her final effort proved one task too many and Grace told producers she’d had enough.
It comes just days after she first confessed to Josie Gibson that she'd had her fill, saying: “I’ve had enough. I’ve completely had enough. I just want to go home.”
A source said: “Grace was having a tough time away from her family and struggled with the lack of sleep and good food. But more than anything she was really pushed to the brink by the gruelling trials this year.
"The Scarena series meant the celebrities were all taking part in more challenges than ever and Grace had just had enough.”
During her time in camp Grace took part in a number of tough trials, including the brand new twist on Walk The Plank called Pole Position - where she impressed - and the group Locker Shocker challenge where she all but gave up.
But she was boosted by success in Touchdown of Terror, when her team won when flaky Nella Rose pulled the emergency cord to quit.
Despite needing medical attention when a cockroach crawled in her ear, triumphant Grace said: "I really needed that. I really needed to be good in that trial because I was really doubting myself."
It wasn't all bad times for Grace, though, after she shared some laughs over ever-naked Nigel Farage.
On Saturday night’s show, footage showed Nigel in his underpants taking a wash in the sink.
Grace laughed: “The worse thing is… it’s totally normal to me. I just feel like I’ve always seen Nigel Farage in his pants. I just feel like that’s always been part of my life.
“I can’t remember a time before Nigel Farage in his pants.”
