| Rantzen, 68, was a more popular member of the team who enjoyed a flirtatious relationship with ex-EastEnders actor Joe Swash, 42 years her junior, and described him as "very loveable". | |
| After leaving the camp, she said: "I'm feeling very sorry to leave because they are such lovely people and the whole environment is so gorgeous. But I think it's the right moment." | |
| She said the experience was more physically challenging than she expected and much dirtier. | |
| The campsite nearly met with disaster when Swash attempted to dry his clothes over an open fire, but the blaze was put out by Rantzen, who quickly covered the burning clothes with a damp towel. | |
