I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Grace Dent has returned to the UK after an early exit from the reality show.
The 50-year-old food critic was pictured on Tuesday (November 28) afternoon as she landed back at Heathrow Airport wearing blue jeans and a long-sleeved black top. On Monday (November 27), bosses confirmed that Grace has left the camp, but didn't reveal the exact reason for her early departure. A spokesperson for ITV said at the time: "Unfortunately Grace Dent has left the show on medical grounds. She has been a great campmate and will be missed by her fellow celebrities and viewers alike."

Rumours suggest that Grace's exit from the jungle was a mutual decision between her and the show bosses after they noticed her "visible deterioration in camp". An insider told MailOnline that Grace decided to leave after being told she would be the next star to face a Bushtucker Trial, claiming it was "the straw that broke the camel's back."
The source told the publication: "It was mutually agreed that she would stand down from the competition, it was clear that she wasn't being herself, she had lost all energy when usually she's witty and fun to be around," adding that "ITV's duty of care and welfare teams had stepped in, and rightly so."
A source revealed that Grace found the lack of amenities and hearty meals in the I'm A Celebrity camp tougher than she expected. "Grace is looking forward to seeing her loved ones now and after a few days of rest and recovery will be fine," the insider said about her health and exit from the show.
After her departure was confirmed by ITV, Grace was seen at Brisbane Airport. An insider told the Mirror: "She is heading back to London today. She is tired and she just wants to get home."
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, the show's presenters, addressed Grace's journey home. "Sadly Grace Dent has left the camp for medical reasons but she's doing fine and we all send her our best," Ant shared with viewers. Later, Hollyoaks actor Nick Pickard read out a letter from Grace confirming her decision to leave. "My dear campmates, I'm so sorry to let you down. I have left the camp for medical reasons," Grace's emotional note began.
