Anne Hegerty struggled to adjust to jungle life

OHMYGOSSIP — Anne Hegerty wanted to be “voted off first” from ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Of Here!’
The 60-year-old star – best known for her appearances as ‘The Governess’ on popular quiz show ‘The Chase’ – admitted “it took some time” for her to adjust to being in the jungle, and at first her “spirits were going down” as she tried to get used to the idea of living in the camp.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘This Morning’, she said: “We were walking and walking into camp – I had not had much to eat that day – and strenuous exercise on an empty stomach tends to make me wrench anyway… and as we were walking and walking and going down and down, my spirits were going down and down!
“It went from ‘I really want to win this’, to ‘I want to get voted off first’, to ‘get me out of here now!’
“It took me two days just to realise I had a sleeping bag. All the details just had to be worked out in my head and it took some time.”
Anne – who opened up about her Autism during her time in Australia – also revealed she initially wanted to turn down the offer for the reality show, but she was quickly won over by producers.
She added: “Originally I said, ‘I will never do the jungle, there’s not enough money in the world’… but my agent said, ‘They want to take you to lunch, just go to lunch with them because they work on other things and there might be other things that they want you for’.
“So I went along and they were absolutely delightful, and I found myself thinking, ‘You know, I can sort of imagine doing it’, whereas before, I had never been able to imagine myself doing it before. So I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll do it.’ ”
