On Wednesday morning, it was confirmed that Lady C had decided to walk away for the series for “medical reasons”, though her agent, Mike Hollingsworth, has now claimed there’s more to the story than you might think.

Speaking to ‘This Morning’ over the phone, Mike insisted that “bullying” was behind her decision to leave.

He explained: “The official statement is she's left due to a medical condition.

“I know that she suffered a fall in the jungle camp and because of that viewers will have seen that she has been using a special chair to sit on for a little while, and that has clearly gotten worse.

Mike spoke to 'This Morning' about Lady C's exit

"I have spoken to her and she is sad to be out. I think the medical condition might have been exacerbated by a certain amount of bullying she has been receiving by two particular campmates."

Lady C came to blows with a number of her fellow contestants during her time in the ‘I’m A Celebrity’ jungle, including Duncan Bannatyne, who she went head-to-head with in a row about emu poo earlier this week.

She’d previously clashed with Tony Hadley, who she branded a “fat blob” during an argument about a beetle she threw in the fire.

The socialite and royal biographer’s son previously spoke about what he perceived to be “bullying” from the British public, after his mother was repeatedly chosen by viewers to undergo Bushtucker Trials.

Lady C will offer her side of the story during Wednesday night’s ‘I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here NOW!’, at 10pm on ITV2.

‘I’m A Celebrity’ is a bit like walking into the unknown for her, as she’s previously only watched around 15 minutes of the show. She claims: “I have seen the show very briefly when Carol Thatcher was in the camp for about 10 minutes, and then when Martina Navratilova was in it for about five minutes. I don’t have the time to look at much television.” (credit:Rex Shutterstock)
