Dumped Katie Hopkins takes a swipe at I'm A Celeb jungle 'queen' Lynne

Latest jungle evictee Katie Hopkins told how she tried to make people see the "real" her on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

But clearly she failed as she was second to be voted off the ITV reality show.

Hopkins, who became notorious on BBC's The Apprentice, told presenters Ant and Dec she had been worried about the other celebrities' reactions to her.

"Waiting to come in was harder, thinking they might not know the real me," she said.

But she still seized the opportunity to lay into PR guru Lynne Franks.

"Lynne's not my kind of woman," she said. "We're at extremes of the female marketplace.

"Lynne is relaxed, Zen, do funny movements a lot, and not do a lot of grafting - not very capable, not very practical, not very get-things-done.

"She's very female, and I'm more the male end of female."

Meanwhile, at least one viewer is glad Hopkins has been voted off the show.

Jilted wife Ruth Cross, whose husband Mark had an affair with Hopkins during which they were photographed cavorting in a field, said: "I hoped she'd get eaten by the crocs. Katie is a self-centred bitch."

Back in the camp, Cerys Matthews was missing love rat Marc Bannerman. She said: "I'm shocked that Marc's gone because he was such a sweetheart. I'm sad to see him go."

But Bannerman, 34, cannot decide whether he has feelings for the Welsh singer.

While sometimes saying they were "just good friends" and that he is "in love" with his girlfriend, actress Sarah Matravers, the former EastEnders actor then said he had fallen "hook, line and sinker" for 38-year-old Matthews.

He finally said: "I'm in love with two people. What a prat."
