One person said: “Omg James meeting Caityln and the end of the bridge, i’m crying!”

Another wrote: “None of her family did, but James going to meet Caitlyn coming out of the jungle was a brill gesture.”

A third added: “James meeting Caitlyn at the end of the bridge! I’m sorry, I take back everything I said bad about him!”

During her interview on Extra Camp, Caitlyn said of her jungle journey: “One of the reasons I wanted to do this show is because obviously I’m trans and I’ve had to deal with this all my life.

“There’s a lot of other people that are behind closed doors. Everybody’s got stuff and everybody’s got things that they have to deal with.

“For me, this is what I had to deal with my whole life and how I overcame so many things. I wanted to be a positive inspiration to people, that you know what you can have differences, you can have issues, but just live your life authentically.

“It doesn’t mean it’s the end of your life, that you can go out, you can do stuff like this, you can be in the public eye. There is a life after it.

“And so I kinda wanted to show that, and generally inspire other people.”
