"Walking into the jungle I wanted to walk straight back out again. Everything was hellish.

"I will never, ever, ever come to Australia again. I've caused so much trauma to myself."

Gemma went on to say she doesn't think she'll recover from the four-day jungle stint until January 2015.

"I don't actually think I'll be able to work or move again until next year," she said.
