Jane’s Bushtucker Trial will see the presenter and Maura Higgins put their communication skills to the test as they try to navigate a complex series of pipelines full of creepy crawlies.
Jane’s daughters confirmed to MailOnline that she ‘hates’ doing the washing up and doesn’t do it at home amid row with Barry over the camp chores during which she called him ‘ageist’ and ‘misogynistic’.
Ellie said: ‘I think that emotions are running high. I think they’re probably all quite hungry but she’s doing amazingly, we’re all very proud of her.’
Grace added: ‘It’s been great seeing her go full mum mode, I feel like her and GK Barry are great, we love watching them together.
‘When mum went straight for GK in the first trial we were like ‘yay’.’
Ellie continued: ‘I personally love the fact that people are seeing mum as really strong which she is, she has very strong opinions but she’s also very caring, very nurturing. So it’s nice that people are seeing both sides of her.’
Meanwhile Michelle, Tulisa’s close pal, was on Lorraine last week and urged people ‘to be kind’ to the N-Dubz star, 36, over the cosmetic surgery she’s had done to balance the appearance of her Bell’s Palsy.
Revealing why she thinks Tulisa decided to enter the jungle, Michelle said: ‘Years ago she would have been terrified of the public reaction to her.

‘She’s like a big sister type and I think that will keep her going. To be a mothering-like figure to her campmates.
‘Not a lot of people get to see that side of her, that softer side. I’m so happy that people will get to see that mothering side.’
The couple will be staying at the Marriott on Australia’s Gold Coast, speaking about their trip out, Tulisa said: ‘They get a lovely holiday, and I get to suffer and get covered in crazy stuff.’
N-Dubz fans will be disappointed not to see Tulisa’s bandmates Dappy and Fazer greeting her off the bridge, but Tulisa told MailOnline: ‘I didn’t tell Dappy and until the last minute because Dappy would have not been able to hold it down.
‘He would have told everyone from excitement and joy, of course, but I can tell you, Dappy is so excited about me going in there.
‘He’s absolutely buzzing and Fazer is just pretty chilled, I don’t think he even really watches the show that much.
‘He’s like, ‘What are you doing that for? Why are you going in there? Why do you want to get covered in critters?’ I’m just like, oh, never mind. But Dappy is absolutely buzzing.’
