I’m A Celeb: Nat Bass breaks down

SHE’S usually one of the cheeriest people in camp, but last night a glimpse of her family sent Nat Bass into an emotional tailspin.

I'm A Celeb campmates moved to tears

FOR a month now she’s been one of the most unfailingly chipper I’m A Celeb campmates — but all it took was a simple message from home to turn Natalie Bassingthwaighte into an emotional wreck.

In last night’s episode of the show, the campmates were treated to recorded video messages from their loved ones, and while it was tears all around, Bassingthwaighte and pal Lisa Curry were easily the most affected by the glimpse of their families.

Bassingthwaighte’s husband, former Rogue Traders bandmate Cameron McGlinchey, appeared on camera alongside her two young children Harper and Hendrix — and her face immediately crumpled.

“You’re on the home stretch! We’ve seen you every night, jumping out of planes and being bitten by snakes ... we love you and we can’t wait to have you home. Finish it off well!” McGlinchey told his wife.

And viewers at home were treated to a look at perhaps the biggest unseen character on the show so far: Nazeem Hussain’s beloved mum, the topic of many of his jokes and stories around camp. She appeared in a video message alongside his wife and sister, and certainly appeared just as colourful as he’d described:

“Hello Nazeem! I love and miss you. I pray for you all night — I know that’s the time you do your challenges. Bring home the jungle crown — YAY!” she said, clutching a plastic tiara in her hand.

I’m A Celebrity screens 7:30pm tonight on Ten.
