I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! spoilers follow.

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! has announced the fifth celebrity to leave the series, with Danielle Harold exiting the jungle.

The former EastEnders star follows Nick Pickard, Fred Sirieix, Nella Rose and Frankie Dettori in being eliminated from the series, with the camp now dwindling in numbers after the additional departures of Grace Dent and Jamie Lynn Spears.

“When you’re in there, you don’t think you’re on telly,” Harold told hosts Ant & Dec in the studio. “It sounds crazy but you forget until you’re out there – you feel like you’re camping with your mates.

“I did so much. The heights challenge was the worst! I was terrified. I feel like I’ve conquered my fears with heights, but bugs – not so much! I’m a lot stronger than I thought I was, though.

“The only thing that got me through the trials was thinking that other people would be scared and trying to help them through it. I kind of forgot what I was doing – it’s a bit selfish but it helped me.”

Elsewhere in the episode, the participant for the trial for the night was decided by the campmates, with Sam Thompson volunteering himself for ‘No Time to Cry: Cry Harder’, which had been rolled over from earlier in the series after Nella withdrew from the task.

The spy-themed challenge involved an underground lair, laser beams and lots of critters, with Sam having to negotiate his passage in order to secure the stars. The reality star managed excellently, however, bringing a maximum six stars back to camp.

I’m a Celebrity… airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
