The hugely popular quizzer was left in tears in the opening episode of the show, hosted by and Declan Donnelly, and alluded to quitting.

Viewers watched on as the Yellow team made their way to the less luxurious Snake Rock while the Red team entered Croc Creek.

However, the changes prompted an emotional response from Anne.

Emily Atack said: “When I first walked in and I saw the beds on the floor, I had a moment of slight panic.”

James McVey then joked to Anne: “Madame, would you like me to escort your suitcase to your bedroom.”

Rita Simons added: “I am so not down with spiders and insects crawling on me when I speak.”

Emily squealed as she discovered a leech on her leg, with Rita fuming: “Camp is beyond basic. It kind of all hits home

the minute you walk in.”

After a long day, Anne became tearful and hinted at an early exit from the show.

Anne cried: “I’m really close to saying I can’t do this.”

However, it looks as though Anne will stay a while longer after help from her fellow campmates.

Emily explained: “Anne got a bit upset so we gave her a cuddle. It’s overwhelming.

“I think she was just expressing how we were all feeling, we just didn’t want to admit it!”

Fleur East added: “I feel like we all have to be there for her and the minute that we all rallied around her, she just felt so

much better.”

Anne later said in the Bush Telegraph: “I like them. They’re my team!”

The Governess is the early favourite to receive the most Bushtucker trials, according to Paddy Power.

John Barrowman is the current favourite to win AT 3/1, though Harry Redknapp has received twice as many bets than any other contestant in the series and is currently at 8/1.

A spokesperson for Paddy Power told Express.co.uk: “Despite John Barrowman being favourite to win the show, Harry Redknapp’s popularity has been enormous.

“He’s seen the biggest odds fall of the contestants so far, and in the shortest amount of time, too.

“Noel Edmonds and Harry Redknapp stranded together in a jungle – I never thought I’d see the day. It sounds like a dream.”
