Kerri-Anne Kennerley has quit I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! after just three days in the jungle.

The presenter decided to leave the show after an almighty blow-up during an eating challenge.

Kennerley went head-to-head with Married At First Sight star Domenica Calarco, with both facing the grim prospect of chomping down on kudu testicles.

Kennerley declared she would rather go home than eat the antelope testicle, and said that if she did leave, Dom could have her make-up.

A sassy Dom replied: “I don’t want your 1989 Revlon lipstick darl.”

Kennerley returned first from the trial alone and recounted her side of the story to the camp.

She explained that the last round of the trial required everyone to eat a kudu testicle, and if anyone failed, they would forfeit the eight possible stars. Because Dom couldn’t keep the kudu testicle down, Kennerley said that any effort from her side would have been fruitless.

She started to choke up when she described the verbal abuse she endured from Dom.

A visibly emotional Kennerley explained that staying in camp would be unhealthy for everyone and called the words: “I’m a celebrity, get me out of here.”.

The celebs all gathered around Kennerley for a final farewell, before she collected her belongings and left the jungle.

After Kennerley made her exit, Dom, Australian Idol judge Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson and radio host Woody Whitelaw entered camp and ran through their version of the story.

Woody and Dicko said that Dom gave it a valiant effort, but despite trying her best, she simply couldn’t deal with the kudu testicle.

Dom acknowledged that her use of language was out of line, but she stood by how she felt at the time when she lashed out at Kennerley.

During the fallout, Dicko and Woody backed Dom by saying that Kennerley had zero intention of even having a crack.
