Tory MP Nadine Dorries was the first person that got evicted from I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! after spending 12 days in the outback jungle.
Dorries, who got suspended from her party list because of participating on the ITV show, was voted out by the public. Her fellow campmates were sad to see her go, so they give her a warm hugged before she left the jungle.
Talking about her eviction, she said that it was ‘fascinating experience.’
She said: 'I actually came here self-important for a few days, but I'm not now.
'I needed that missile, and I think all MPs need that. I came from a council estate and never thought I was like that, but I was. I'm not now.'
When asked by Ant and Dec if she believes that she had achieved her aim to raise awareness of issues, she said: "I don't know what people have seen, but I have had some fascinating conversations in there. It's been a fascinating experience.
'I think it is important that MPs realize that you need to go where the public go. More people vote on X Factor, and I'm A Celebrity than they do in the general elections. MPs need to go where people vote.'
Her prediction is that David Haye would win. Helen Flanagan and Eric Bristow will be part of the final three. She even added that she had guessed she would be the first to leave.
She said: 'I'm not disappointed at being the first, especially when you're starving. I kind of expected it actually. I don't think the public actually understand how hard and how difficult it is down there.
'The effect it has on your body when you're down there with three teaspoons of rice a day is hard, hard, hard.'
Nadine Dories was suspended by her party list because she flew to the Australian jungle without of David Cameron or informing senior party leaders.
Her colleagues and constituents were angered by her appearance on the reality show. However, she insisted she was planning to use her appearance on the reality TV as a platform to promote politics and engage the electorate.
Prior to taking part of the I'm A Celebrity; she said: 'It can't be that hard' and then went on to fail three challenges.
When asked if she felt sorry about saying those words, she answered: 'There's like this massive adrenaline rush and your brain's screaming No, and you have to overcome it but sometimes I can't.'
Her worry is with her campmate Helen Flanagan, who she described as an intelligent woman.
She added: 'I was concerned her confidence as a young woman was being being bashed to death. I tried to change her motivation and had a big chat with her.'
'It's been a fascinating experience. I actually came here self-important for a few days, but I'm not now.'
On Thursday morning in her first post-show interview the suspended MP said that her office is now located in her hotel room, in Australia, and is already back at work.
She told Daybreak she 'worked right up to the moment', after heading down under.
She said: 'I've already been back at work actually.
'What is overnight to you, as soon as I got out of the jungle I was straight back to work... some of the flak that has been thrown at me I'm afraid just isn't true.
'My office has been manned; my staff have been working, and I am back at work already.'
The politician went on the offensive after leaving the jungle.
