Caitlyn opened up about her family relationships to fellow contestants Kate Garraway, Adele Roberts, Nadine Coyle and Jaqueline Jossa.

And Caitlyn, who used to be Olympic-winning athlete Bruce Jenner before she transitioned in 2015, said: “Bruce raised them and Caitlyn is enjoying their life with them.”

Caitlyn, star of reality shows I Am Cait and The Keeping Up With The Kardashians, has six children and a whopping 19 grandchildren.

She’s father to Burt and Cassandra from Bruce’s first marriage to Chrystie, and two sons from Bruce’s second marriage to Linda Thompson.

In 1991, Caitlyn – then still Bruce – married Kris Kardashian and had two daughters – Kendall, 24, and Kylie, 22 – and became step-parent to Kris’s four children from her previous marriage, Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Robert.

“My kids all call me Dad,” he said.

Kendall asked me first and I said ‘Dad’, I’m your Dad and I’ll always be your Dad till the day I die.

“Kendall asked me first and I said ‘Dad’, I’m your Dad and I’ll always be your Dad till the day I die.

“But what they’re really good at, which shocks me all the time, is when they’re talking about me – ‘my Dad, she’ – and it’s tough to change the pronoun in the middle of it.”

Earlier in the series, Caitlyn revealed that she had been hiding a dark tragedy from her fellow campmates.

The reality star – who won Olympic gold at the 1500 metres as Bruce Jenner in 1976 – lost her brother in a tragic accident the same year she won gold in Montreal.

Caitlyn, then Bruce, was 26 when her younger brother, Burt, died while driving a silver Porsche that Caitlyn had allowed him to borrow.
