Nikki Osborne has detailed her ‘very unpleasant’ time on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The comedian, who appeared on season six of the Channel 10 reality program in 2020, said she left the jungle with ‘trauma’ from the ruthless trolling upon her exit.
Despite most stars having a positive experience in the jungle, Nikki firmly believes the show’s producers didn’t like her.
‘I had trauma from the jungle because not only did I bomb, I also got a lot of trolling upon exit,’ she told Yahoo Lifestyle.
‘And also, I didn’t feel like producers liked me very much, so it was just all round, very unpleasant for me.’
‘You can tell when you’re in there whether [the producers] are gonna keep you around or not. You can tell by the amount of times you get called up to the little Tok Tokkie and you can tell by where the cameras are swinging to when you’re in there,’ the 43-year-old added.
‘Every now and then you spoke to the producers and there was just a vibe.’
It’s not the first time Nikki has opened up about her unfortunate time on I’m A Celeb, where she was the second contestant eliminated from the season that featured stars like Perez Hilton, Charlotte Crosby and 2020 winner Miguel Maestre.

In 2020, she told news.com.au that it was ‘horrendous’ and described the experience in the South African jungle as ‘two weeks from hell’.
And she also spoke disparagingly of her former co-stars, accusing them of ‘trying to find their moment to create something to go to air’.
‘Out of the 18 days that I was in there, I was doing nothing for 17. When I say nothing, I mean nothing. You’re literally stuck in this tiny camp with smoke … and there’s nothing to do,’ she explained.
‘I was starving. I had nothing. That was the hardest part of the whole experience.’
It comes after Nikki, who is now a contestant on Channel Seven’s Dancing With The Stars, revealed the reality of filming the dance show after she showed fans the painful bruises she sustained during rehearsals.

The blonde is partnered up with professional dancer Aric Yegudkin on the 2024 series of the show, and hopes to get to the very end of the competition.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, Nikki admitted filming was more ‘punishing’ than she had expected, with rehearsal days often being 13 hours long.
‘It’s harder than one would expect and a bit more punishing,’ she confessed.
‘By the end, I was [on] painkillers and whisky, holding hands. That was how I got through the end. You are in so much pain but it just becomes the new normal.
‘I couldn’t even pick up my toothbrush off the floor when I dropped it, I just went ”ah f**k it”.’

Despite the struggles, Nikki insisted she has no regrets and enjoyed every second on the show, saying she wore her painful bruises and injuries as a badge of honour.
‘I wear the [bruises] with honour, I was quite proud that I had all those injuries and kept dancing,’ she shared.
‘My grandfather was a war vet and he was the one who taught me to keep going. Aric and I had a safe word and that was ”go harder”.’
‘It was hectic! That’s what competition does to people, I feel like I’m ready for the Olympics now,’ she added.
