Food critic Grace Dent has described feeling " overwhelmingly sad right now" after leaving I'm a Celebrity . . Get Me Out of Here and has thanked fans for the " outpouring of love".

ITV said she left The Show on Monday on " medical grounds".

In a lengthy statement, Dent said she was " removed" from the Reality Show but did not go into any more detail.

She also said she wanted to " keep alive in my heart the huge personal breakthroughs" made over The Weeks .

Dent said Living Outdoors for 15 Days without her phone or any contact with loved ones, in a rainforest in very wet weather, gave her " a short, sharp glimpse into The Pain some folk worldwide endure".

" Normal Life , forever, will always feel beautiful, " She Said .

She also highlighted what she had learned about mental strength, saying the " trick is to stay calm, have empathy and that screaming achieves nothing but wasted calories".

Dent realised she could " find a mental space where I could calmly climb down the side of a sky scraper And Then slide out on a pole, unlocking stars, as The Cars below on The Street felt the size of ants".

" I had no idea it was possible to be shown an American Football helmet and be informed I was shortly to be Locked In at The Neck and filled to the eyebrows with cockroaches, and for me to think 'OK this is doable, the trick is to breathe'. "

She also discovered she was " physically stronger than I thought; I can carry a lot of logs and water up hill, build fire and eat hare innards at dawn for breakfast".

" I Hope I gave you all a smile. I didn't go out as I planned or I wanted, but I did what I could, and I did it in a siren red gel manicure without chipping a nail, " She Said .

" I didn't cry when I took off my bra to find A Family of mealworms living in The Right cup. At some level, this *must* be an achievement. "

Dent added that her plan now was to " recover… and when the adrenaline finally ebbs away, to make some serious plans for dinner" saying she loved her fans and misses " my jungle crew".

She had been seen on camera The Day before she left The Camp saying: " I've had enough. I've completely had enough. I just want to Go Home , " and had been picked to do the latest Bushtucker trial with fellow campmate Josie Gibson .

Following Dent's departure, EastEnders actress Danielle Harold did The Trial instead.

On Wednesday, on medical grounds, meaning the 12 celebrities are down to 10 before any eliminations have taken place.
