The author and podcaster, who is also the sister of former Towie star Mario Falcone, told her I’m a Celeb campmates that she had been talked into appearing on the ITV2 reality show years ago.

During a clip shown on Saturday night’s compilation episode, Fletcher said: “They talked me into being part of the scene. They really had to talk me into it.  It was a massive thing for me to say I’ll do it.  

“And then I got cut.  I was more upset about being cut.  I am not Towie enough.”

Fletcher was consoled by fellow I’m a Celebrity contestant Shane Richie, who admitted: “It happens to all of us.”

Richie is best known for playing the role of Alfie Moon on the hit soap EastEnders.

He added: “I’ve done stuff in the past when I thought, hey, I’m in this movie, and I’ve watched it and I’m not in it and they’ve cut me.”

I’m a Celebrity airs nightly at 9pm on ITV.
