He explained: “Everyone was jumping and hugging and she turned to hug someone but everyone was hugging someone. And I wanted to dive into the television and give her a big hug.

Kate left the jungle at 4th place, and was hugely popular on the show amongst both her fellow contestants and viewers.

She caught the eye of fellow contestant Myles Stephenson, who claimed he “loves older women” and became a bit of a national sex symbol thanks to her stunning red bikini.

At 52, Kate says she feels very “flattered” to be receiving such praise.

She told You magazine that in the jungle she “did wear massive, high-waisted pants” and even though she had a “really skimpy pair”, she “wasn’t brave enough to change into those”.
