Deni Hines has left the jungle.
Marcia Hines’ daughter decided to leave “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” after her Gold Team lost out in a head-to-head battle.
Before the battle commended, Deni made her intentions clear. She told her fellow campers, “I’m at the end of my tether here, I really am. I wish I could just walk out.”
The first team battle trial, which featured Luke Bateman and Dyson Heppell answering trivia questions, ended in a dramatic tiebreaker, with Deni’s Gold Team ultimately losing out.
Instead of supporting her teammates, Deni heading straight back to camp to reveal her decision.
“I have decided to go home. I haven’t been able to go to the toilet for six days. I don’t feel good about that,” she said.
“I would rather do a poo in the jungle, but unfortunately, we are in a national park, so I can’t, and I refuse to sit in that long drop… so…I am a celebrity, get me out of here!”

Deni was appearing in the series in support of Monika’s Rescues, an organisation dedicated to rehoming and saving as many pets as they can from council pounds.
“I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” continues tonight (January 28) at 7:30pm on Channel 10.
Deni’s time in the jungle wasn’t without incident, with the singer clashing with ex-“MAFS” star Cyrell Paule over Deni’s music career.
The confrontation began when Cyrell questioned Deni’s credentials as a performer, prompting the ARIA Award-winning singer to defend her decades-long career and myriad notable achievements. “I’m a singer,” a visibly annoyed Deni snapped at Cyrell, who retorted: “Can you sing though? Like, like, really, really sing?”
The feuding pair eventually made up when Deni extended an olive branch to her fellow camper by walking over and offering a hug.
