During her time in the Australian jungle, Gillian was voted to do a number of Bushtucker trials by the public.
Ahead of one live trial, the star fainted in front of her campmates before being given oxygen.
The trial involved Gillian being chained underground and surrounded by rats.
I definitely still suffer from PTSD
The presenter now claims that the challenge brought on post-traumatic stress disorder.
She told The Daily Star: “I definitely still suffer from PTSD. Since that jungle trial, the one where I was buried under the ground in a coffin and rats landed on top of me, it still feels like yesterday.
“What has happened is, every time I have to go into a small space like a lift, I feel like I’m going to start screaming. I feel an intense rising panic that I simply can’t control.”
