Caitlyn Jenner has shocked viewers across the pond by entering the infamous Australian jungle for the British version of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.

However, things may be getting a little bit too much for the reality star as, after a rough first night in the jungle, Caitlyn opened up about her doubts, and ultimately broke down into tears. Caitlyn tearfully shared her dismay at being back in the jungle and made a few hints that left fans seriously worried.

Caitlyn's partner, Sophia Hutchins, has spoken out about what it was like to watch her break down.
The twenty-three-year-old who lives with Caitlyn in Malibu, spoke out yesterday about how shocked she was watching the usually "positive" Caitlyn break down, especially so early on in the show.Speaking during Tuesday's episode of British morning chat show, Lorraine, Sophia opened up about what it's like to watch Caitlyn struggle.

She admitted to feeling completely "helpless," watching Caitlyn struggling to adjust to her new surroundings and "felt like getting on a plane to Australia" after watching her get visibly emotional.Sophia says Caitlyn's emotional break down is very out of character and that it was "gut-wrenching" to see.
She added that it's really unlike the seventy-year-old to get so upset. "The Caitlyn we know is super excited, super positive, super energetic, rarely sheds a tear. So we were all freaked out by that. "It hasn't been easy to watch at all. When there's someone across the globe you feel helpless, to begin with. When you throw in these challenges and see her crying, it's been gut-wrenching." "When I saw her crying the first night, I was just in shock. Everyone that knows her, who I've spoken with, was sending me these messages saying, 'Is she okay, this isn't the Caitlyn we know?"She went on to say that so far, the whole experience has been very difficult to deal with.

But she insisted Caitlyn "knew what she was getting herself in for" as her appearance on the show has been in the works for a while. Not to mention she starred on the US version of the show in 2003.Sophia is optimistic that Caitlyn will push through.
"She probably misses the things we take for granted every day, having a shower… but I think she will pull through."
