This year’s lineup of celebrities made their journey into the jungle last night and after some tough challenges, one campmate became overwhelmed when they finally made it to camp.
Going head-to-head to determine which camp the teams would go to for their first few nights in the jungle, the red team came out on top, heading to the more luxurious Croc Creek.
However, that left the yellow team making their way to Snake Rock, a much more basic camp that left the members of the team in total shock.
Anne Hegerty broke down when her team made it to their home for the next few days last night, and told campmates she was already considering going home.
“I’m really close to saying I can’t do this,” she told her team.
Anne was quickly comforted by teammates Emily Atack and Fleur East.
“It’s overwhelming,” Inbetweeners star Emily said.
“I feel like we all have to be there for her,” Fleur added.
“The minute that we all rallied around her, she just felt so much better.”
But it wasn’t just her teammates Anne was receiving support from – viewers at home were quick to take to Twitter to share the love with The Chase star.
My heart is going out to Anne at the moment. It’s hard to cover being overwhelmed! She is going to do so much for raising awareness of autism. Massive respect to her! #ImACeleb
People can be so nasty. Anne Hegerty has aspergers syndrome, she's so brave to even give it a try in the jungle. So many other people like her will see they can be brave and face their fears too. #ImACeleb
I hope everybody watching at home appreciates just how far @anne_hegerty is going outside of her comfort zone. I'm proud of her for being so incredibly brave and challenging herself. #ImACeleb
I’m so proud of the campmates for rallying around Anne and helping her push through.
Autism is incredibly complex and I hope she knows how many of us (autism mum here) are rooting for her.
I really feel she can do this and am so happy she’s with such a lovely bunch. #ImACeleb
Anne was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome in 2007 after she watched a TV show and recognised the symptoms.
She's spoken openly about it in interviews over the years, saying it helped lead to her job on The Chase.
"When you're on the autistic spectrum, one of the things you do, it's what's called perseverating," she said on Loose Women.
"You get interested in something and you just get really interested, you just have to know everything about it.
"You go completely down the rabbit hole, you can't think about anything else, you have to learn everything there is to know about this particular subject. "
