Medical Exit Confirmed After Downbeat Turn
During the show, Dent seemed exhausted and wanted to head home. She barely reacted when chosen for the ‘Down The Tubes’ trial and barely engaged with hosts Ant and Dec. ITV confirmed her departure was for medical reasons, praising her positive attitude and contributions to the camp.
Worn Out and Heading Home via Brisbane
Grace is now on her way back to London, flying out from Brisbane airport. Despite avoiding the press, eyewitnesses noticed her tiredness and her uncharacteristically drained look. Rumours suggest she’ll still pocket her full show fee, despite leaving early.

Grace Open About Her Struggles
In the days before her exit, Dent confided in fellow campmate Josie Gibson and through the Bush Telegraph that she was struggling. She admitted feeling drained and losing the drive to continue in the jungle.
Social Media Reacts as Fans Voice Concern
