Martina Navratilova's hopes of winning the game show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! came to a close, after she was awarded with a runner-up trophy, the winner being former Eastenders actor Joe Swash."I learnt that I can adjust pretty well to just about any situation, and that I can go into a room full of people and just make friends," said Martina about the I’m a Celebrity experience. "I was always very shy and I'm not a mingler. Here we were all in the same boat."
"It was tough, I was out of breath but I was so determined to get every star and not drop one, I almost did drop one", she said. "The camp will be happy, it's been a while since they had a full meal." Once back at the camp, she kept her eager, hungry campmates in suspense. "Hold your horses, that was rough man, I was in a harness suspended over a pond so... I got a perfect 10!" she told her delighted campmates.
She was also successful at another trial entitled Fill Your Face, which had her wear a large glass helmet which was then filled with grasshoppers, cockroaches, spiders and snakes. "Piece of cake so far," she said to the show’s hosts Ant and Dec, as 50 grasshoppers were poured onto her head. Things got tense as the spiders and snakes were added, but Martina withstood it all to win another dinner for her camp. "I did it!" she exclaimed after the helmet was removed. "They were biting me and they bit my nose and made me cry."
Always gracious in defeat, Martina sung the praises of the newly crowned King of the Jungle. "I'm happy for Joe, really," she said. "You can't compete with EastEnders!" And Swash had nothing but kind words for Martina, deeming her an unsung hero, kind and a true champion. Hugging her after the results, he said: "You're my Queen, darling."
