Katie Price quits I’m A Celebrity

Model Katie Price has walked out of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! after less than a week on the ITV show.

Viewers of the programme, which is set in the Australian jungle, have voted repeatedly for the former model to be put to the test in "bushtucker" trials.

On Sunday, when she was picked for another trial involving a snake pit, she said: "Someone else has to do it. I’m just not doing it anymore."

ITV announced her departure in a one-line message posted on its website.

"Katie Price has left the jungle," the message read.

‘Closure’

Price, also known as glamour model Jordan, had begged viewers to stop nominating her for tasks.

But on hearing she had been chosen again, she said: "I suppose you get into a routine.

"The routine is I go out to work to bring back the food… I’m the breadwinner."

The 31-year-old returned to the Australian jungle last week, five years after first appearing on the programme.

She said she hoped it would bring "closure" to her relationship with ex-husband Peter Andre, with whom she became close while appearing on the show.
