The ballroom dancer is the first jungle casualty of the new series of 'I'm A Celebrity'.

According to the Daily Mail, Dallerup repeatedly broke down in tears in the camp as she struggled to cope with the jungle conditions, but it finally became too much for her and she screamed 'I'm A Celebrity. Get Me Out Of Here.'

Viewers watched Kim Woodburn and Misteeq singer Sabrina Washington comfort the frail and frightened dancer during yesterday's show where Camilla admitted: 'I just can't sleep properly and I can't think properly.

"My brain's not working. It's only three days in, so what's going to happen after this?

"'I'm scared because I don't want to put my health in danger and I can't think straight."

Ex-Hollyoaks actor Stuart Manning comforted the sobbing star earlier in the day, but the 35-year-old dancer explained: "I've never felt this weak.

"I'm thinking what a hard job it is to get to the shower.
'I feel useless being here so tired. You can't help anyone."

The celebrity camper repeatedly visited the Bush Telegraph to have crisis talks with producers of the show who didn't want to see the star leave.

However, with the prospect of another sleepless night in the scary jungle looming, the professional dancer decided to call it quits.
