And so the farewells in camp continue this time with Candice Warner leaving the South African jungle behind.
An eventful time spent in camp, the former champion Ironwoman proved her mettle with icy cold plunges, braving terrifying heights and surviving a shopping spree that even the most retail-addicted would rather avoid.
Participating in trials aplenty, Candice braved creepy crawlies being dropped from above during the Jungle Express Train, she visited the Jungle Shop Of Horrors where she was covered in muck, she braved the H2H Tip Top platform that tilted over a mountain, had snakes slither on her face at the Jungle Day Spa, and was plunged into The Deep Freeze tank which chilled her to the bone.
Though she was the first to admit that she was ‘afraid of everything’, ever the team player, Candice faced fear after fear to make sure she was bringing home the bacon – or in this case the stars – proving to herself and everyone watching just what she could achieve when pushed far outside her comfort zone.
Around the camp, Candice had many heart-to-heart conversations with campmates discussing shared experiences in the sports industry, shedding light on the resilience and strength required to navigate the highs and lows of life in the public eye, and opening up about her experience of miscarriage, motherhood and marriage.
During the great Contraband Confiscation of 2024, Skye refused to surrender her lip gloss and tensions quickly escalated, resulting in a heated confrontation between the pair which highlighted the challenges of communal living in the jungle. But the moment was quick to pass when the two friends talked it out, making them closer than before.
It wasn’t all trials and confrontations though, with some important conversations by the campfire and the opportunity to highlight the importance of protecting our youth from bullying with her chosen charity, Dolly’s Dream.
