The star told Ant and Dec: “I felt like I needed to push the boundaries. I do it in sport so why not do it with creepy crawlies.

“I thought I’d go in there and see how it is with MS (multiple sclerosis) and it was hard.

“I thought it would be a lot easier than what it was. But I feel like I still showed even with these trials and tribulations of life of someone with a chronic condition, you can still crack on and have fun.”

What did viewers say?

Viewers were divided over the elimination, with many saying Kadeena was “robbed”.

One person said on Twitter: “Kadeena was amazing she was robbed of Queen of the castle!”

Another wrote: “Omg I’m sad Kadeena has been amazing, she was robbed.”

A third added: “Kadeena was robbed. Naughty Boy should be out #imaceleb.”

However, others believed it was the right decision as one said: “Not surprised Kadeena is out. I don’t think she had a big enough personality to last the long haul.”

Another tweeted: “Kadeena was [the] right person to leave.”

Meanwhile, during her exit interview last night, Arlene told Ant and Dec that she was “relieved” to be out.

However, she said she’ll miss her campmates even though she can’t wait to be reunited with her family.
