Gemma Atkinson to quit the jungle?

She finding I'm A Celeb a lot harder than she'd imagined

Gemma Atkinson could be on the verge of quitting reality TV show I’m A Celeb because she's bored stiff.

The ex-Hollyoaks star – who’s yet to face a Bush Tucker Trial - has been confiding in co-contestant Janice Dickinson.

‘I knew I’d be hungry,’ she admitted. ‘But I thought there would be more to do in the day.

'I am frustrated. And I’m missing everyone back home.’

Janice, 53, who’s been having an eventful time, tried to comfort Gem and boosted her self-esteem by saying she looked like Tomb Raider star Angelina Jolie.

‘Of course it’s going to be tough,’ she told her.

‘These guys just wanna see how far they push us until someone snaps. You’ve come this far. And you look so good. You look like Tomb Raider, babe.’

And this seemed to do the trick – Gem, 23, was soon fantasising about becoming the next Lara Croft.

‘I like action movies,’ she smiled. ‘I’d like to do one where you have to train for a few weeks in some kind of martial arts or weapons and tactics or something.’
