You may or may not have heard, but Caitlyn Jenner has recently, and quite bizarrely, joined a load of British celebrities on the U.K. version of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
Anything for a bit of publicity, right? That and a healthy pay-cheque… rumor has it the former olympian is being paid half a million dollars to appear.
But they won’t cut Caitlyn that cheque if she leaves early or is kicked off for misbehaving, which has lead many to believe she is involved in a “fix scandal.”

We all know about the famous Caitlyn Jenner transformation.
Remember? When the gold-medal-winning Olympian and partner to Kris Jenner, announced the start of her transition into a woman back in 2015?
It was a huge part of the bizarre public spectacle that is the Keeping up with the Kardashian’s.
She came into Kris’ life after the death of her first partner, Robert Kardashian.
She had 2 children with Kris (Kendall, and Kylie) and was hastily blended as a significant role model for all of the Kardashians.
And, in true Kardashian-Jenner fashion, she came out on the cover of Vanity Fair.
People marveled at the impressive transformation. She underwent her final operation – the irreversible gender-reassignment surgery – in 2017, officially marking the birth of Caitlyn.
In her debut Vanity Fair interview as Caitlyn, she explained how liberating it felt to finally be open as a woman: “I have nothing left to hide. I am kind of a free person, a free soul. Up to this point, I would wear, you know, Bruce would wear sweatshirts with hoods on them so paparazzi can’t get pictures and all that kind of crap.”
The shocking transition understandably took its toll on her daughters, Kendall and Kylie.
For the 2 girls, the birth of Caitlyn meant the loss of some elements of their dad.
“My dad says it herself sometimes, it’s kind of like mourning the loss of someone, because it is,” Kendall said in a candid interview about Caitlyn’s transition. “My dad is my dad, but he’s not there physically anymore. But she lets me call her dad — that’s the last little piece of dad I’ve got.”
Even though they have been through some pretty rough patches, the family seems to have worked things out. Well, most of them… But that’s a whole other story.
The former Olympian has ventured out into the industry on her own.
Though she has the support of her family, she is now looking into making up for lost time for Caitlyn.
Yes, you read that right. Caitlyn Jenner is hanging up the glitz and the glamour to go and get down and dirty with a bunch of British B-List celebs.
Back in 2003, she went into the jungle, ready to tackle whatever creepy crawlie may be lurking around amongst the bushes. And now she is ready to give it a go again!
Within the first twenty-four hours, there were tears.
While everyone was fast asleep, Caitlyn decided to sneak away into the Bush Telegraph to have a little cry.
She wondered if she was spending her time wisely saying: “I’m seventy years old now and is being in here the right way to use my time. Should I be home with my kids, playing with the grandchildren? I’ve never quit at anything I’ve ever done and I’m thinking maybe it’s time I learned how to do that!”
Nothing was going to keep her down for long.
She hyped herself up with: “The day has started, I have the hat on, let’s get it on!”
And it has to be said, Caitlyn is taking on the dreaded Bush Tucker Trials like a pro.
But the most recent one has got fans asking some suspicious questions.
Caitlyn took part alongside fellow campmates Kate Garraway, Andrew Maxwell and Andy Whyment, and the trial involved the celebs putting their heads through a hole, in a banquet table, and resting their chins on a red button.
A ghastly range of creepy crawlies would be poured over their heads, and if they moved their chin off the button as the critters were dropped on to them, a red light would go off which resulted in a fail.
It was a pretty horrible trial…
Andrew and Andy won the trial with the least amount of fails – which left viewers puzzled when it came to Caitlyn.
