“The phone lines lit up, some women said very seriously that when they got divorced they felt like they’d failed.
“People would say you can’t find anyone to love you, like you’re a failed human being. This is an alternative way and a very happy way of life.’
During her appearance on This Morning, Carol and close friend Fatima Whitbread revealed that they had seen each other naked in the camp during the filming of I’m A Celeb in South Africa.
Ahead of the new series, Fatima, 62, explained, “This is part of the character-building process of this whole process. It brings out the best and worst in you. You literally see each other naked, it’s stripped to the bone.’
Dermot then revealed they had a clip to show ITV viewers, with Alison quipping: ‘Hopefully not naked!’
Fatima teased the new series, saying, “We have head-to-heads so people can get knocked out before their time. The challenges are much more difficult than in Australia.

Alison went on to ask if there was any fighting or drama in the camp, to which Fatima replied, ‘It was a bit like a soap opera, there was a bit of everything’
Excited I’m A Celeb South Africa viewers got their first glimpse of the new series on Wednesday with a first look at the contestants arriving at camp.
Janice Dickinson and Fatima Whitbread both donned their Jungle uniforms and bright red matching T-shirts as they were introduced to their base camp.

She looked different in her camp outfit from when she arrived in South Africa, wearing a nice blue shirt and silk trousers.
In an instant, retired javelin thrower Fatima settled into camp life as she sat on one of the beds beaming from ear to ear.
She later put on a beige coat while chatting with the stars with whom she will spend the next three weeks.
