The eccentric aristocrat revealed she has walked away with her full £70,000 appearance fee, despite walking out of the jungle earlier this week, having sought to take legal action against the ITV reality series.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Lady C claimed that “bullying” was the real reason she left the jungle, stating she believed Duncan Bannatyne and Tony Hadley had mistreated her.
“I visited producers to complain about the bullying. I don't know how often – several times a day,” she explained. “In the end I pointed out that I was going to take steps. I realised that the button to press was legal, and my goodness did it work.”
She claimed that their alleged verbal abuse against her had brought back childhood memories of being bullied, and she was worried about her emotional health.
“It is quite clear that Duncan and Tony were not going to desist and ITV could not shut them up without violating their right to talk freely on the show,” adding that they had agreed to let her leave.

Speaking about her former campmates in further detail, Lady C made a series of acerbic personal remarks about them.
Duncan and Tony have both previously denied claims they bullied Lady C, and Tony played down their feud during his exit interview.
“None of the decisions I made were about her. She just took everything so personally,” he said.
Duncan also claimed that she had made a series of comments about Tony’s children that were “unforgivable”.
He told Ant and Dec: "There was just some little things; she would start shouting and it was just unforgivable.
“It was one thing and then another, and Tony would always react when she said something to him.
“She started on Tony's children and she was getting a bit personal."
‘I’m A Celebrity’ concludes tonight at 9pm on ITV.
