Everyone is being way too nice – we need a villain in camp and Dean will be missed: Rebekah Vardy’s I’m a Celeb diary
Watch Rebekah give her unfiltered verdict on the latest happenings in camp
IT'S the last leg in camp and at this point the celebrities are well and truly over it!
They'll also start feel the strain with people leaving - it’s a really strange feeling when campmates are evicted because you really miss what they offered and just having them around you.

Around now things really start to get to you. Two weeks is a long time to be away from the people you love.
The second campmate to leave the jungle was Dean and I’m actually going to miss him because he really did entertain the camp.
And what a storm! I thought we had really bad rain but this has been the worst I’ve ever seen it in the jungle, it’s crazy. The flooding, soaking wet beds… how dull!
It makes you not want to get out of bed and you want to sleep more during the day. Time will be dragging for them.

At one point around now while walking to one of my trials my blood pressure dropped so low that I collapsed and I was literally seeing stars.
But they have an incredible medical team on site who always check over you and on occasion they refuse to let you participate in the trial.
I really felt for Melvin last night but it was so nice to see the campmates rally around him - especially Barry and Oti, they are wonderful people.
Oti’s motivational talk was so moving. Everyone goes through it at some point while you're in there - it’s really tough.

The lack of sleep and continuous rain… there are so many highs but equally so many lows. At times you feel like you’re going stir crazy.
Barry’s hand went up to volunteer for the trial before anyone could say much.
He’s so selfless - even tiredness and desperation didn’t deter him from smashing it. A true sportsman and a very humble man, 10 stars is absolutely incredible.
Rebekah Vardy says the Rev & Tulisa were troopers in grim eating trial - but Oti needs to make the final
The letters from home were so emotional. Alan’s letter from his daughter was magical, as was Melvin’s.
I’ve really grown to love Melvin, I think he’s just such a humble, lovely, genuine person. I’d love to see him in the final.
When we first started to get our letters from home it made me really emotional, I really started to miss my family at that point. I was so ready to leave.
For me, it was never about staying until the end. It was about not getting voted out first.
The rest was just a bonus and it was the experience and the opportunity to be in a situation you’d never normally be in with people you wouldn’t come across in everyday life.

Emu sausage and chips… the camp loved that dinner. GK and Tulisa smashed it - a 10 star review and not a burnt sausage in sight.
When we were in the jungle we had some crazy stuff: ostrich egg, crocodile feet… It was the most random things. And you’ve only got pans and an open fire to work with so you really have to try and use your imagination.

Vardy's verdict
AS Rebekah watches the show with a keen eye, she's shared her current thoughts on the campmates.
Villain: There isn't one and we need a villain! There are no challenging characters and they're all being way too nice.
Hero: My heros are Barry for smashing the trial and Reverend for his constant singing.
