Declaring it her "worst nightmare", the pair were placed into underwater tombs and had to use magnets to transport stars through a maze from one to the other.

Despite Boy George's repeat encouragement, a panicked White declared she "couldn't do it" and as creatures and water were added to the tombs, she cried "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here" putting a complete halt to the trial.

They only managed to achieve two of the 11 stars available for camp food.

"Moments like that are where I love the camp, everyone came together, gave her a hug and made sure she’s alright.”

Sue Cleaver later gave her a shoulder to cry on as well: “Everyone’s got a limit. We’ve all got limits. We’re not the Mike [Tindall]'s in the world, OK. We have other strengths.”

This prompted White to admit she was homesick and missing her children, prompting her to break down as she admitting she was finding the jungle too much.

Fans at home though were disappointed with her efforts, and took to Twitter to complain: "Charlene had a chance to prove herself and absolutely blew it," said one.
