Was Vicky Pattison a late arrival on I’m A Celebrity?

Vicky’s anecdote was inspired by Rochelle asking: “Do you have any say in [arriving late], or do producers decide that you’re gonna go in at this time because we think that’s the right dynamic?”

“You’re just held,” replied last weekend’s Strictly Come Dancing casualty.

“So I was one of the first to arrive in Australia and I remember seeing bits and pieces of press and realising that everyone else was in there other than me. I was convinced it was all just a big ruse!”

Rochelle then pointed out how “mad” it all sounded. “I didn’t even think I was gonna be going in. Going in late is really hard!” noted Vicky.

“Well it worked for you girl, because you won!” stated the former popstar.
