“We can say that the result was extremely close,” she revealed.
Liz had previously said of her time on the show, “My kids never saw me play netball. I want to show them what mom can do. I want to show them that I can be strong, face danger and still keep working.’
Liz further admitted that her time on the show wasn’t exactly a walk in the park.
“There have been real ups and downs,” she explained of her journey through the South African jungle.

“Everyone endured. It was so nice getting to know everyone,” Liz added.
While discussing why she chose her charity, Share The Dignity, Liz explained that the project means a lot to her.
“They partnered with 3,000 charities to provide much-needed menstrual products to women who are homeless, fleeing domestic violence, or living on the poverty line or struggling to make ends meet,” she said.
“It helps them and their family get through and empowers them to be worthy. And you hear about women and their stories.’
