That night, Hey guys, 0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:06.760 welcome back to TV Reload. I want to thank you 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:10.040 for clicking and downloading on today's episode with Candace Warner, 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.560 our second eliminated contestant from I'm a Celebrity, Get Me 0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:16.400 Out of Here for twenty twenty four. When we last 0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:20.079 caught up with the popular reality series, the farewells continued 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:23.000 in the camp, which on Thursday night, we saw Candace 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:26.760 Warner leaving the South African jungle behind. But what an 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:30.320 eventful time Candace had in camp. The former Champion Iron 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:35.400 Woman proved her worth with icy cold plunges, braving terrifying heights, 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.879 and surviving as shopping spree that even the most retail 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:43.320 addicted would probably rather avoid. Around the camp, Candace had 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.920 many heart to heart conversations with camp mates, discussing shared 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.840 experiences in the sporting industry, shedding light on the resilience 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.840 and strength required to navigate the highs and lows of 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.360 a life in the public eye, and opening up about 0:00:56.360 --> 0:01:01.080 her experiences of miscarriage, motherhood, and marriage. Nothing was off limits, 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:04.839 and Candace will certainly be remembered from this series. Also, 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.240 Candace was thrilled with the opportunity to highlight the importance 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.840 of protecting our youth from bullying with her chosen charity, 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:13.679 Dolly's Dream, which you can go and check out on 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.840 their website. Candace will reveal how the experience in the 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.840 Jungle is exactly as you see it, with the horror 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:24.120 stories of snakes, scorpions, and the terrifying influences that she 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.080 had to live with while she was in the jungle. 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.240 We will unpack the conversations Candace had with her husband, 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.560 David Warner before going into the jungle, plus how she 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.920 managed to navigate her schedule to make time for this show. 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.440 You will get some interesting insights into what the celebrities 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.640 have been thinking regarding these eliminations being left at the 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.280 end of the series, and I will ask about Tonight's 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.640 shocking walkout from one of her fellow camp mates. I'm 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.880 also going to unpack that polarizing confrontation with Sky and 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:53.920 find out why she felt the need to speak up 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.320 and defend herself. And we'll talk a little bit about 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.560 how the audience had interpret that situation. There's actually so 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.400 much to unpack with Candace, so sit back and relax 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:07.720 as we unpack her time in the South African jungle. Hello, Hi, 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:08.440 how are you. 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.320 I'm very well, Thank you. 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.000 You sound great And that's what I was worried about. 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.200 Oh I feel good, I'm clean, I've had some food 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.359 and I've had a glass of wine last night, and 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:19.639 I'm feeling fabulous. 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:19.839 Now. 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.360 Had Denise flown out of South Africa where you were 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.200 able to sit down with her and have a wine. 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.000 No, I think she had already flown out, so I 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.240 didn't get to catch up with Denise. 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:29.919 But don't worry. 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.960 I will be heading to Queensland in the next few months, 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:34.760 so I will be catching up with her. And she's 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.680 already told me what she's going to cook me and 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.800 we'll have I think champagne to her drink of choice, 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.000 so I'll have a champagne with her. 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:40.200 Then. 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.079 Well, I was really surprised that because Kahan was in there, 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.040 and he's a cook. We know that from Master Chef, 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:48.079 but Denise is one of the best cooks in Australia, 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.000 like she's actually been offered cooking shows before, so I 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:52.679 was surprised she didn't sort of push him out of 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:54.800 the way and cook the food for you guys. 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.799 Yeah, look, I think she was very much wanting to 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.760 to try her hand in cooking. But at the same time, 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.000 there's not a lot of cooking involved when it's just 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.400 oats with a bit of water on the pop and 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.960 then rice and bean, So you can't do a hell 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.320 of a lot with that. But in saying that, Cahn 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.960 made a mean oats of a morning, we all looked 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.840 forward to that lunchtime he was making this, which fast 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.239 became our favorite meal of the day, this crispy rice. 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.280 And look, it was just fried as much as you 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.480 could possibly fry it. But we got to the point 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.040 it was like, no more bald rice, no more bald beans. 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:29.519 Just fry it up as much. 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.120 I mean, we went through so much oil in there 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:36.000 it wasn't funny. But yeah, look, she is a fantastic cook. 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.400 And Denise was telling me of all these beautiful things 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.280 she's gonna cook me. She's going to make me these 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.480 crumbed this with some beautiful potatoes, and she told me 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.240 how she does her baked potatoes and how she does 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:52.520 her cauliflower and her desserts and everything. So I cannot 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.040 wait to sit down and have a home cooked meal 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.280 from Denise like water treat take up Loto. 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.000 Put that on the internet. People will love it. 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:00.520 I will. 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.120 I will absolutely do that. 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.480 Ask about her chicken fried wings as well. I'm just 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.119 going to tell you there's a headlup on that one. 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.800 Maybe she can do that as an entree. I don't 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:10.800 know why I'm teasing you with talking about so much 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:12.600 food when technically to that. 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.040 No, that's right, exactly something to look forward to. 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.279 I suppose when you were asked to do this show, 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.320 what sort of conversations did you get to have with 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.960 your husband? Did he give you any dos and don'ts 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:24.640 on what you could say and do in the jungle? 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:25.600 Was he worried at all? 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.000 No, he wasn't worried. 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:31.920 And look, we've spoken about our life and our ups 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.159 and downs so many times that we kind of know 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:36.840 the boundaries and we know. 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.200 But at the same time, I. 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.239 Wasn't going to hold back and everything that I said, 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.960 I'm true to my word and it's what I strongly 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.360 believe in. And you know, other people probably think, well, no, 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.359 and have different opinions, but they also don't know what 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.800 I know. And so I was very clear with what 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.360 I wanted to say. But the hardest thing going on 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.320 the show was knowing that my husband was going to 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.520 be in India that entire time, and my daughter's three 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.880 daughters would be back in Sydney. So it's like, Okay, 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.520 who's going to mind three kids. Who's going to be 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.560 willing to make the lunches every day, do their hair 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.680 for school, take them to sport. I mean, Easter was on, 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.320 they had their grand final of cricket, swimming carnivals. It's 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.479 just the coordinating of it all when you know both 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:24.640 parents are away. That was incredibly difficult. But I'm very 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:28.400 grateful for my brother and my mom and everyone else 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.279 who helped out. But there's a lot that goes into 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:33.920 just getting into the jungle itself. 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.039 I think there's a home alone spin off with that. 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.640 You know, Mum's in Africa, Dad's India and the kids 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.760 have to feed themselves. I think, you know, you. 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.600 Know what they probably the kids probably loved it. 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.400 They're probably like, yeah, it's no more structure, no more 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:46.920 going to bed. 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.840 At this time, Uncle Patty's looking after the kids. We're 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:50.960 going to have ice cream for dinner. 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.680 So it's probably the kids probably needed it as much 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:54.720 as we all did. 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:56.960 You know, when you get cast on a show like this, 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.479 are you required to tell us certain amount of stories 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.720 because of me? Your resume is very interesting, your husband's 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.159 resumes very interesting. And a lot of these shows that 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.880 get made around the world, they do show those stories 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:10.599 that we get a little bit of an insight into 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.839 sort of more your personal stories. You know, what sort 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.799 of conversations that they say to you, Can you please 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:17.760 bring up this or do they just let you go 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:19.400 you know, and let you go wild. 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:25.200 Yeah, no, there's no prompting of conversations. It is purely authentic. 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.279 So it's just when you're getting to know someone, you 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.320 start chatting and then when you feel comfortable, you know, 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.440 you ask more in depth questions to them, which lead 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.120 to you being more vulnerable and opening up to them. 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.000 And I think it's a trust thing. And when you 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:43.120 feel like you can trust someone and they're being vulnerable, 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.119 then you want to be able to have that same 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.080 experience and talk about your life and what you've been 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.080 through and how you can relate to one another. So look, 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.159 there's definitely no prompting of oh, can you go and 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.360 ask this person this or that. It's just purely authentic 0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:00.960 conversations had in a very private in environment, yet so 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.360 publicly because there's cameras. 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:06.240 There and you know, we've constantly got microphones. 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.040 Yeah, but you know, it's lovely to go into a 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:15.440 safe environment where there's no judgment and although we're probably 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.960 being judged on the outside, we don't feel that on 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:18.640 the inside. 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.280 And it's being able to be vulnerable to. 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.360 Strangers who become very close friends by the end of 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:29.400 the experiment is such a unique experience and something that 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:30.720 I really enjoyed. 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.320 Well, something that's going to bond you for life. Do 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.360 you know why all of these eliminations have been held 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.360 right to the end. Have you had that conversation with 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.960 why they've decided to do that differently this year? 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.480 And we went so because the thing is in the jungle, 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.040 you try to predict every day what's going to happen. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.440 I mean, we don't know what time it is because 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.760 there's no clocks anywhere, we don't know what is going 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:54.800 on the outside world. 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:55.679 We don't know anything. 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.200 And we just assumed that after a certain amount of 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.000 time on a Sunday night, there'd be in a big 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:01.680 and then the next day would be in eviction. 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:06.360 So the fact that no elimination happened until the Wednesday. 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.760 That shocked us all and we were starting to get 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.760 to the point where we're thinking, maybe we're all going 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:12.400 to be here till the end and there's just going 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:13.280 to be one winner. 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:14.320 Wow. 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.280 But it does shake things up, and it does you know, 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.880 every day is completely different and it poses a new challenge, 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.920 a new environment every single day. So I think that's 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.960 what's so great about being on the show is day 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:29.800 to day we do not know what's going to happen. 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.440 We do not know if we're going to eat, we 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.199 do not know what's going to be thrown at us, 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.600 and it's exciting, but it's also terrifying at the same time. 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.840 I think in the UK recently they've started doing this 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:41.880 and that's so they can keep all the celebrities for 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.000 the finale. Are you going to fly out of South 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.640 Africa now or are you going to stick around for 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.000 the finale because it's coming up like it's not that 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:49.160 far away. Yeah. 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.960 No, I will be flying out to India. 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.560 My husband in India and my kids now that at 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.200 school holidays they have joined him in India, So I'll 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.719 be flying there. But a long process because you know, 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:02.920 I have to do about four or five stops to 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.800 get to them, but it's going to be well worth it. 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.440 They won't even recognize you. They'll be like, what's skinny, mum? 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:09.400 Who is this? 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:09.960 Yeah? 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.600 I know they'll be like, yeah, exactly, exactly. But don't worry. 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.600 I will be straight into some really good food over there. 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.680 And you know, you know, I missed my wedding anniversary, 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.120 so David and I will have a beautiful dinner together. 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.240 But just you know, seeing the kids watching some great 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:29.400 cricket and being in an environment where it's such a 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.120 positive environment is you know. 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.160 I couldn't ask for anything more. 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.280 What did you know about the celebrities going into the jungle, 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.120 because I mean, you were probably more recognizable than some 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.880 of the others. Did you know everyone when you walked 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.600 in or was there something you took a little bit 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.040 of time to sort of place in the set. 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.760 No, I didn't know Callum, so that was fabulous getting 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:54.240 to know him, But everyone else I had recognized, And 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:58.080 I had met Michelle Bridges once before briefly, and i'd 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.559 met Tristan once before on student ten. So even though 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.000 we didn't have a bond, you sort of had that connection, 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.720 but everyone else know I didn't know, And it was 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.440 fabulous getting to know Brittany and Ellie and Peterdaykos and 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.320 Steven and Frankie I mean, and Scott, I mean every 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.160 single person that I met in there I had some 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.679 sort of bond with And I think that's really unique 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.280 because you don't often get that in a workplace or 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.400 in life where you bond with so many people. But 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.720 we shared such a unique experience that it would be 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.160 very hard not to bond with. 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.040 Denise seemed to struggle though. You're like, you're seeing her 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.400 coming in late. I guess coming in ten days late 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.800 maybe does change the dynamics. Do you think her arriving 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.920 later into the show really affected the way in which 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:41.640 maybe the Australian public saw her. 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.480 I think possibly, because when you do go into the 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:48.600 show so late, people have already established their favorites in 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.320 the jungle. We have already had such strong bonds with 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.800 everyone from the moment we walked into doing trials with people, 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.680 so it was very hard for her, but she did 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.680 such a terrific job, Like I don't know any other 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.040 seventy five year old person. 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.359 Who would go, yeah, I'll give that a crack. 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.480 And there was no you know, unlike other years where 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.800 people have had been pampered or been given anything in 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.360 the top toki or behind the scenes. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:16.080 She did it as rough as we did. 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:16.559 Wow. 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:20.719 And those beds were dreadful, so she would have been 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.760 waking up so stiff and sore. 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.680 She was eating what we were eating. She was doing 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:26.920 exactly what we were. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.120 And you know, there were times where we had torrential 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.960 rain and storm and she was the one that got 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.840 up and made sure that our clothes were you know, 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:37.880 not getting wet, or she was the one that was 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:38.760 putting taps on. 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:39.760 Brittany and Tristan. 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.720 I mean, I don't know how much you guys see, 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.520 but she was really quite motherly in there and looking 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.600 after us. And there is a generational gap, there's no 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.400 doubt about that. But she comes from a very good place. 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.160 And I got along with her really well. 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.800 And said that to me yesterday. She said, you know, 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.680 she'd been watching the show and so she said, you know, 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.079 she had an idea of who she thought everyone was 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.480 going to be, but particularly singled you out and said 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.880 how much she enjoyed getting to know you. I mean, 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:09.520 it was interesting. 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:10.320 That's so lovely. 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.360 It was really interesting to hear about her takes on 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.040 everyone because she said that she did struggle with some people, 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.560 I mean typical dedicates. She didn't say the ones that 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.320 she struggled with, but she did. 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:25.360 And there were definitely times where, you know, people may 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.560 not have given her the time of day because you know, 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.599 they just weren't interested. 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.319 But you know, you've got to respect what she's. 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.960 Done, and you've got to respect that she is because 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:39.160 she could be someone's grandmother, you know, with her age 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.760 and what she was doing was quite heroic and she 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.760 didn't have to be there, but she chose to be 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.839 there and she gave it the best crack that she 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:46.679 possibly could. 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.360 Well, she talked about you know, maybe there's some people 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.560 faking it, and you know what, it's interesting with her 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.760 pedigree of her career, she's been around enough people to 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.360 see whether people are genuine and if they're not. Did 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.679 you notice that some of the people in there were 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.360 maybe acting up to the cameras or faking it to 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:04.199 progress the Necker? 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.720 Yes, Oh, look, Denise is a very smart lady. What 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:12.200 she observes, she sits back and she observes, and she 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.160 takes people for who they are, and she treats people 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.319 the way they treat her. And look, there are people 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:21.719 that are on the show for very different reasons to 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.840 myself and very different reasons for Denise. 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.800 But that doesn't mean that they're bad people. They just 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:30.840 are on the show for different reasons. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.000 And if that means to act up to get more 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:38.880 Hemra time or airtime, then so be it. But you 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:42.440 can't take away from anyone else's experience and why they're there. 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.160 Well, it's interesting because I mean your confrontation with Sky 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:46.680 and I mean, I guess you haven't had a chance 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.200 to watch this sort of stuff back, so you have 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.080 to kind of take my word as I explained it 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.319 to you, but sort of confronted Sky in a way, 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:57.079 and that really polarized the audience into picking sides and saying, 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.840 you know, a team Sky, team Candas, did you think 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.760 the time something as small as talking about some contraband 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.080 would be such a big deal for audience as watching 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:06.520 this show. 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.560 Well, look, I don't know what was shown, but how 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.200 it played out was I we were all throwing our 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.360 contraband in and I had a private conversation with her, 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.240 just privately, I said, look, maybe you know you push. 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.240 You've got your lip gloss, maybe go get that and 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.160 put in your bag. And she didn't want to, and 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:23.960 I just said, come on, I would hate it to 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.680 be at the detriment of the team. And then once 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.480 we all handed it everything in, she just started pointing 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.760 fingers at me, saying, you threw me under the bus. 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.200 And I was like, what, I didn't throw you under 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.680 the bus at all, and she kept going, you did, 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.440 you did, and I mean I didn't. 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.400 And then so a private conversation that we had then 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:45.240 became quite public. So and that's where I was just like, well, 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.960 hang on a second, holder, if we're all throwing. 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.480 Our contraband in, then it's only fair that you do. 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.080 And if you're going to say that I've thrown you 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.520 under the bus, I will call you selfish. And look, 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.080 we both said things that we probably didn't mean, but 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.920 it wasn't long until we're made amends and we got 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.960 over it and we were buddies again. So look, the 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.240 emotions are running very high in the jungle and people 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.800 are on lack of sleep, missing home, no sugar, no caffeine, 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:12.920 different diet. 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.840 It's a very different. So tapping in and tapping out 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.800 of this show, could really ever truly understand those can 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:21.720 be you know, and there needs to be a bit 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.640 of forgiveness. I've run out of time. And the sad 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.600 thing is, oh, no, everyone is talking about who has 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.880 walked out of the camp and you've probably signed an 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.400 ND eight and you might even not even know who's 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:33.240 walked out of camp. 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:37.280 But no, I just found out, just like you did, 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:41.400 that someone has walked out, and I'm like, oh my goodness, 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:42.440 could you see? 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.520 And we can't talk about who it is because we 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.240 don't want to ruin the show. But like, I mean, 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.240 you're surprised by the person who's walked out? Is that 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:50.600 something you might have predicted? 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.080 Look, I know that there's people struggling. I know that 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.640 we're close to the finish line. But everyone is missing 0:15:56.680 --> 0:16:00.360 their homes. Everyone is hungry, and as people start to leave, 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.560 everyone's emotions are starting to up and down, and some 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.640 people are going, I just want to be home now. 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.800 I bet canuses with her kids and cuddling them. So 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:13.040 I'm surprised that it hasn't happened earlier. But if you 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:14.040 always wrap your weight. 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.120 Feet, I mean, I'm sorry to interrupt you there, because 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.520 something is I'm running out of time. But like I think, 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.800 if someone walks out, you know, or says I'm a celebrity, 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:22.280 to get me out of here, is there anything where 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.160 you can say I've made a mistake after a few 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.360 minutes of leaving, and they can put you back in 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:27.240 or once you're out. 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.480 I'm sure, I'm sure they try to talk the person 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.520 out of it, but once you made your mind up 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.280 and you're clear on your decision, you're out of there. 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.840 Wow. Okay, all right, that's a good teast before you go. 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:41.760 The last thing I ask everyone who ever joins this 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:45.400 podcast is what is something behind the scenes, something about 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.160 behind the scenes secret for your time in the jungle? 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.120 Is there anything that you think was a sort of 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.160 a funny anecdote from your time in there. I mean, 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.400 you don't know what we've seen, but maybe something fun 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:56.160 you'd like to share. 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.160 Oh goodness, it's so hard to know what you've seen, 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:00.640 but it's just real, it is. 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.560 I mean, I saw petrified of everything. 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.080 I was walking to the waterfall one day and a 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:07.520 cobridge just walked. 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.800 In front, like, not walked, but just in front of me. 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:12.000 I was questioning that. 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.320 I was on a bike and there was a snake 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.320 right in front of me, So it is real, Like 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.919 there's no we don't see anyone in camp. We talked 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:22.919 in the top talkie to a camera. We have no 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.520 idea who's on the other side. But there is snakes, 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.560 I've seen scorpions, I've seen absolutely everything. It is as 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.520 real as you can imagine. I didn't sleep much. We're 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.240 hearing all sorts of noises. You have no idea if 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.800 they're clothes, if they're in camp, if they're in the trees. 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:38.359 But it is real. 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.120 And if I knew how real it was, who knows 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.639
