Good Morning Britain’s Kate Garraway has opened up about her stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and how one of her campmates left a group WhatsApp within minutes of taking off from Australia. The 55-year-old broadcaster and journalist appeared on the ITV show in 2019 and was a fan favourite with viewers, finishing the series in fourth place.
Discussing the experience with I’m A Celebrity 2020 winner Giovanna Fletcher on the Walt Disney Travel Company's Journey to the Magic podcast, Kate revealed that Caitlyn Jenner made a swift exit from the chat. Olympian and TV personality Caitlyn was a huge coup for the series and reportedly banked £500,000 for taking part.
"Caitlyn Jenner, I mean we all wanted to travel with her. But she, literally as the plane took off, removed herself from the WhatsApp group," Kate told Giovanna. The 2019 series was won by EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa.

Kate continued: "You could have timed it on the runway and it was like 'Caitlyn Jenner has left the group'. She did give her number out to various people, to be fair, but she obviously felt like she didn't want to be part of the [cast group].
"You know what WhatsApp is like, it tells you doesn't it? It’s not like somebody can sneak out, it’s like you are no longer part of this group. You are out! Like, did she go? Hang on a minute, she’s just taken off! On the plane! She was brilliant fun in there actually, so yeah, would be good to see her. I have seen her again and I have interviewed her since but it’s a different world."
I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! will return later this year for an All-Stars series on ITV1 and ITVX. For more TV and showbiz stories, subscribe to our newsletter here.
