Fears Caitlyn Jenner Is Going To ‘Walk Out’ Of 'I’m A Celeb' After Breakdown

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! has barely begun, but already there's fears that ITV's biggest signing, Caitlyn Jenner, could quit the jungle.

The former Olympian and Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, 70, made it very clear she was doubting her decision to jet Down Under on Monday night, as she sobbed in the Bush Telegraph in the middle of the night.

With tears in her eyes, she said: "Being the first night in the jungle my head was spinning.

"I'm kinda trying to figure out if I'm doing the right thing. I'm 70 years old now and is being in here the right way to use my time.

"Should I be home with my kids, playing with the grandchildren.

"I've never quit at anything I've ever done and I'm thinking maybe it's time I learned how to do that."

Caitlyn's tearful moment left many viewers at home feeling deeply sympathetic towards her, with one writing that they were crying watching her break down, while another agreed: "Caitlyn crying is breaking my heart".

Luckily, she managed to pull herself together and returned to the camp, and seemed in better spirits later in the day after telling her fellow camp-mates about her "tough night".

She even managed to bag two stars in the super-tough Bushtucker Trial later that day, putting on a much braver show than co-star Kate Garraway.

However, her comments left people worried that she might well be back over the drawbridge before long.

"PLEASE don't tell me Caitlyn's going to leave already #ImACeleb," one viewer wrote.

While another added: #ImACeleb i really hope @Caitlyn_Jenner doesn't quit. we love u".

A third pleaded: "Don't quit Caitlyn! You've got this! #ImACeleb," as another wrote: "Caitlyn better not leave!! I put £5 on her to win".

Caitlyn is reported to be bagging a whopping £500,000 for her appearance on the show, should she stay in the jungle until the end.

Her family, the Kardashian-Jenners, are yet to speak publicly on if they're tuning in to watch her on the show, or voice any messages of support.

Stay strong, Cait. You can do this.
