The Chase's Anne Hegerty finally got her wish in last night's episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! after she was evicted from the camp. The 60-year-old, who is best known as The Governess on the game show, has been hoping to be sent home since the evictions began - and was relieved to find out she was leaving the jungle.
After shouting, "Yes!" when her name was announced, Anne took the trip over the bridge with her stuff to speak to hosts Holly Willoughby and Declan Donnelly about her stint in the jungle.
Of course, Anne is always interesting - but she dropped a huge revelation during the chat when she revealed that she'd actually tried to QUIT the show after the first day.
Viewers will remember Anne's reaction once she, Fleur East, Rita Simons, Emily Atack and James McVey settled in Snake Rock - the less nice camp. After being open and honest about her Autism, Anne revealed that she was struggling hugely in the camp.
But what fans of the show didn't know at the time, was that Anne actually tried to quit the show on that day, telling Dec and Holly, "I could not have remotely done it without 10 fantastic people, it was all down to them.
"It was awful at the beginning - it was funny doing the swim across the lake, but when we started walking and walking, going further down, I was like, 'We are walking down into hell'."

Well Done Anne!' sic
