Im A Celeb 2026 Deni Hines poo left quit

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Deni Hines decided to quit the competition last night after she had trouble pooing. There have been some rumours floating around, with an insider saying she wanted to quit after the first day, but Deni tells Chattr it really was all about the toilet situation.

In fact, if Deni wasn’t blocked up, the singer says she could have won the whole competition.

“For me, I’m a regular girl. I don’t know about you, but I’m regular, right? And to not do a number two for two weeks, I’ve eaten grasshoppers, I’ve eaten vomit fruit, I’ve eaten lentils, I’ve eaten chicken, I’ve eaten beans and rice… nothing has come out,” she recalls.

“If I had a shat, I could have won this s**t. If I pooed girl, I’d still be there.”

The confident, strong celebrity dismisses rumours that she left because she hated everyone at camp, and that they hated her. “I left because I couldn’t s**t,” Deni says. “Do you think that anybody could actually get under my skin to make me want to leave camp?”

The star planned to stay in the jungle until the end, but wasn’t about to risk her long-term health for a TV show.

“I don’t regret a lot,” Deni says. “I’ve heard stories where people’s lower intestines just explode because you’re full of s**t. And I don’t want to poison myself. I don’t want to [be on a] reality show and then put my health at risk for a reality show.”

However, if Deni ever comes back for another season of I’m A Celeb, it could be a completely different story. Provided she can poo, that is.

“The winner of the jungle should have been a Black woman with dreadlocks. Next time, just don’t give me a f**king long drop, and you might have success,” she jokes.

Who does Deni think will win I’m A Celeb?

Deni says she has kept in touch with a few of the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! cast, but took a particular liking to The Bachelors’ Luke Bateman.

She thinks Luke has the best chance of winning I’m A Celeb, and hopes to see him come out on top.

“I think he’s a very smart boy, and I think that he is most in tune with the jungle to do this,” Deni says. “I do hope that it’s him. I really do… he’s a sweetheart.”
