The 25-year-old podcaster turned reality star finished in fifth place and was eliminated on day 20 of the competition, while McFly’s Danny Jones won the ITV show.
For the return trip, she kept it casual, wearing white terrycloth Nike drawstring shorts and a black racerneck vest.
She paired the sporty ensemble with white sneakers and wore an array of gold jewelry, including an elegant bracelet with a collection of rings, and carried a black tote bag.

Meanwhile, Jane opted for a gray long hooded jacket as she prepared to return to the colder British temperatures.
She completed her look with a white open-neck shirt, high-waisted black paper bag pants and distressed sneakers.
GK’s departure came hours after she sent fans into overdrive after sharing her “jungle essentials,” which included a “wine, fake tan and Canesten.”
GK took to her Instagram after her appearance on the hit ITV show, highlighting the must-haves she took with her Down Under.
She shared a look at her open luggage containing the essentials.

The 24-year-old lioness arrived on Tuesday just in time to greet her friend from the bridge this week
It comes after Ella, who Grace affectionately calls Wimpers, wrote her a sweet letter to read to him in the Jungle.
The essentials also included a pair of Crocs slippers, a book called “Why Mom Stopped Stripping,” fake eyelashes, dark chocolate digestive biscuits, deodorant, rescue spray and a silky sleep mask.
She captioned, “POV: Grace packed her suitcase with her Jungle Essentials. Wine for those jungle nights, fake tan for the glow, and the Canesten… well, that goes without saying x.”
Fans were left in stitches and flooded the comments section below the post, praising her for not forgetting the ‘rescue remedy’ spray.
‘The means of salvation’; ‘Rescue is so real’; ‘a little bit of us’;’cool essentials’; ‘beer grylls who’; ‘The rescue drug got me’; ‘So true girl’; ‘The rescue remedy with a straw’.
Even the official Crocs account noted when the internet star had a pair of cozy slippers on hand: “Couldn’t be more ready to brave the jungle!”
During her time in the jungle, Grace revealed the incredibly expensive purchase she made after finding overnight fame following her social media success.
The star shot to fame during the first Covid-19 lockdown when she started making TikToks about her daily life while studying film at Nottingham Trent University.
A successful podcast and guest appearances on Loose Women followed, and she also kept fans on their toes as she documented her love life.
During a conversation with her friend Rev. Richard Coles, she confessed that she impulsively bought a Porsche after thinking, “I could buy a Porsche and it wouldn’t be a problem.”
Richard asked the star: “So Grace, have you gone from working in Costa to suddenly being able to buy a house?”

As she replied, “Yes,” he continued, “So you didn’t go from poor, poor, poor, a little less poor, a little more money, you went from poor to rich?”
Grace then explained, “Yeah, pretty fast. And I remember thinking, ‘I’m making enough money now to buy a new car.’
“I remember a Porsche driving by me as I was having that thought, and I remember thinking, ‘I could buy a Porsche and it wouldn’t be a problem.’
‘I went downtown, I looked at an old one that was cheaper, but the one I wanted was next to it and it was so beautiful.
“I called my accountant and I thought, ‘Can I do it?’ And he said, ‘Yes,’ so I bought it. I picked him up two days later.’
