It seems like Gemma Collins may have quit the jungle for a second time.<\/p>\n
The TOWIE star<\/a> starred in series 14 of the ITV<\/a> show in 2014 and lasted just three days<\/a> before deciding she’s had enough. She said at the time: “It’s hell, this is hell. I just can’t do it. It ain’t for me. I’ve found it really difficult, waking up and feeling panicked every day. I love myself too much to put myself through this…<\/p>\n“I have to look after number one. I’m A Celebrity<\/a>… Get Me Out Of Here! I have to go. I have to start living my life the way I want to live it and this isn’t it.”<\/p>\n\n\n![](\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/article37029838.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1200e\/0_Screenshot-2026-04-16-at-223357jpeg.jpg\")

The GC has made it further on this year’s South Africa series, but has been struggling with life in camp and the brutal challanges that come with jungle life. And a sneak peak at Friday’s (April 17) episode suggested she might have quit again.<\/p>\n
She told the cameras: “I’m A Celebrity<\/a> get me out of here. I am done.” She looked to be in tears as a stunned Scarlett Mofatt watched on. It left fans wondering if she had actually walked again, or if it was just another low moment for the reality TV star.<\/p>\n\n\n![](\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/article37029840.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1200e\/0_Screenshot-2026-04-16-at-223418jpeg.jpg\")

On X, formerly known as Twitter, one user wrote: “Hope Gemma doesn’t go from that clip! I need misery guts David gone before anyone else in camp!” Another pleaded: “Oh Gemma don’t do it!!”<\/p>\n
A third said: “What a suprise gemma quitting…. NOT! Just like she did the last time she was in except she lasted long.” A fourth penned: “refuse to believe Gemma is actually gonna go, they wouldn’t of spoiled it like that. Would they?”<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, viewers watched as she broke down when chatting with Adam Thomas. She admitted to her pal: “I’m alright, I feel alright mentally, it is just hard. I can’t wash properly. I can’t have anything nice. Ive got to wash up every f**king five minutes.<\/p>\n
“I am not used to this. It’s not f**king me.” Gemma managed to compose herself and got on with the tasks at hand in the South African camp, but Adam’s efforts to cheer her up weren’t lost on viewers. One user gushed: “And this is why Gemma didn’t cope in the jungle the first time.. at least she’s having a sense of humour in her sadness. Adam is a gem.”<\/p>\n
Another added: “Adam looking after Gemma. He’s an absolute gentleman. And Gemma girllllll you are doing so welllll, so well.”<\/p>\n
