Lucy Benjamin, the first star to be evicted from ITV’s I’m A Celebrity, has admitted that she didn’t have any sympathy for Katie Price in the jungle.

Katie faced a Bushtucker trial every day she was on the show but Lucy said that she was happy to let Katie do them, so that she wouldn’t have to.

Lucy told GMTV: “I didn’t feel sorry for her, because it meant I didn’t have to get to do the bush tucker trials, so I was just happy that she got to do them.”

When asked if she felt Katie had been an overbearing presence on the show Lucy replied:

“I’d be shocked if it came across that way because basically it was such a tight-knit camp, Katie came in – everybody welcomed her with open arms, and no, I mean I didn’t get that feeling at all. Katie was just Katie – she is who she is. She’s big and she’s kind of bold and everything, but we all took to her and she’s got a softer side and we all liked her very much. She was an integral part of our camp.”
