Brittany broke down in tears and told hosts Robert Irwin and Julia Morris about her jungle stint: ‘It’s a once in a lifetime experience […] You can’t say words, yes.
“I’ve traveled the world and lived rougher than this, which has helped me a lot. For me, the environment was easy, the hardest part was the food and being away from family,” she added.
