She added: “I don’t need to be trolled or coerced and that’s all I have to say.”

It later emerged that Dom also called KAK a “c**t” for refusing to participate in a food challenge – although that moment was deleted from the show.

Kerri-Anne admitted she had never camped before and ‘never wanted to’ until she entered the jungle, but noted she learned a lot about life while camping.

“I’m a tough old bird, but that doesn’t mean what people say isn’t hurtful,” she added.

“I also wanted camp to know that I’m not a horrible person. But you can’t have regrets because that’s not how life works.
The TV veteran’s time on the show came to an end after just four days in the South African jungle.
The drama unfolded when Kerri-Anne and Domenica took part in a food challenge alongside former Australian Idol judge Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson and radio host Woody Whitelaw, where they had to eat a variety of animal testicles in order to win dinner for the rest of the group.

In the challenge, a tennis racket was thrown into the middle of a table, and whoever it landed on had to swallow one of the jungle treats.
At the end of the challenge, the team was offered 13 stars if they all ate the ball of a kudu, which is a type of large antelope.
But Kerri-Anne didn’t care, even after celebrities told her it “taste like meatballs” and “it wasn’t that bad.”
This caused Dom to see red after taking a bite and Kerri-Anne refused.
‘Miss contract fat lady, “I can’t tell myself what to do.” I don’t want your (makeup), I don’t want your Revlon 1989 lipstick, doll,” she raged.
“It’s not fair – it’s not fair to anyone who actually tries. Why are you here, brother? Legit, actually, why are you here?!’
She then accused the Studio 10 star of having no respect or decency for anyone but herself.

‘Literally no respect or decency for anyone other than yourself. I’ve never met anyone so self-centered in my life,” Dom continued.
Upon returning to camp, Kerri-Anne said Dom’s “abuse” was “crushing”.
‘To be called the most self-absorbed slut she’s ever met. And the queen of contracts time and time again. I would have finished [the challenge], if she would have finished. It would never happen,” she said in tears.
Upset at having to do three tries in a row, Kerri-Anne then announced to her camp mates that she was leaving.
“I made a choice, it was a tough choice. Because I would like to stay. But it will never work out. I thought it was very unfair. I had three tries in a row,” he said. she stated.
