"ITV's duty of care and welfare teams had stepped in, and rightly so.

"She had struggled since living in the camp with less amenities, the weather this year has been particularly miserable and as a restaurant critic, not eating well proved to be harder than she could have ever imagined."

A show spokesperson said: "Unfortunately Grace Dent has left the show on medical grounds. She has been a great campmate and will be missed by her fellow celebrities and viewers alike."

The Sun has contacted reps for Grace and ITV.

Fans believe the exact moment Grace decided to quit came when she was voted to do her fourth Bushtucker trial called Down The Tubes.

She had been criticised for putting in a "lack of effort" during a group trial.

Consequently, viewers opted to "punish" Grace by voting for her to do more trials, prompting her to threaten to quit.

She confessed to Josie Gibson that she'd had her fill, saying: “I’ve had enough. I’ve completely had enough. I just want to go home.”

A source said: “Grace was having a tough time away from her family and struggled with the lack of sleep and good food. But more than anything she was really pushed to the brink by the gruelling trials this year.

"The Scarena series meant the celebrities were all taking part in more challenges than ever and Grace had just had enough.”

During her time in camp Grace took part in a number of tough trials, including the brand new twist on Walk The Plank called Pole Position,and the group Locker Shocker challenge.

How much do I'm A Celebrity contestants get paid?

Unlike Strictly Come Dancing where all the contestants get paid the same, I'm A Celebrity pay their campmates all different fees.

A more high profile star can command a bigger pay cheque, compared to a lesser known celebrity.

For example, Nigel Farage was reportedly paid £1.5M to appear on the show, while YouTube star Nella Rose's fee was £30K.

Will Grace Dent be paid her full I'm A Celebrity fee?

Grace was reportedly paid £100K for signing up to I'm A Celebrity 2023.

However, as she quit the show early fans are wondering if she'll receive her full payment.

There are two reasons why Grace will get her whole pay packet.

One reason she will be paid, is because she left the jungle early because of a "medical" reason.

When Olivia Attwood was forced to leave I'm A Celebrity because of a health issue in 2022, she received all of her money.

The second reason is because she lasted over a week in camp – the rule is campmates must stay at least 72 hours in the jungle in order to still get their fee in full.
