Gemma: Why I just can't keep my boyfriends

Glamour model Gemma Atkinson has admitted to being dumped a lot because boyfriends find her cold and unaffectionate.

The former Hollyoaks actress opened up to three of her fellow contestants while they were locked in a 4x4 with the doors and windows shut for last night's endurance test.

As the conversation between herself, John Burton Race, Katie Hopkins and Jason "J" Brown turned to boys needing lots of cuddles from women in their life, the 23-year-old former partner of Manchester United star Ronaldo said: "I'm told in every relationship that I'm not affectionate.

"And most of my relationships have broken down because the guy says I don't give them enough. It's because I work all the time.

I don't even put a kiss on a text message. I don't tell him what he means to me, although I feel it. I just struggle to show it with people and every single relationship I have been in has broken down for that reason."

When chef Burton Race assured her she wasn't cold, she added: "No, it's just I don't know how to express it. I don't want a guy who needs to be with me 24/7."

Meanwhile, as the four endured the bush battle for a chance to be immune from the first public vote, Rodney Marsh and Janice Dickinson put on a rare show of unity as they faced the bushtucker trial together.

After clashing in the camp over a "battle of the sexes", the pair put their differences behind them for the latest challenge which involved them crawling along a cable suspended high above the jungle canopy.

And while Dickinson made her way with ease, collecting and dropping flags to Marsh below, he struggled and kept falling off, resulting in them winning just two stars to take back to camp.

Marsh said: "I don't think I've ever done anything as physically demanding as this. To all those people who voted for me, I've got one thing to say: b******s."
