Last night, Caitlyn Jenner’s time in the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! jungle came to an end.
The Olympian quickly became a fan favourite amongst viewers during her jungle stint, due to her optimism and support for her fellow campmates – among many other things.
The 70-year-old left the jungle in Friday night’s episode alongside Nadine Coyle, in a surprise double elimination.
She broke down in tears as she reflected on her time in the jungle, and how she didn’t think she would make it as far as she did in the show.
However, it was her walk across the bridge at the end of the segment that left viewers in tears – as unlike her fellow campmates who had been voted off, nobody was waiting at the end of the bride to greet Caitlyn.
The way Caitlyn Jenner talked about her children and grandchildren and not one of them turned up to great her at the bridge this ain’t fair at all my heart hurts for her !!! 🙁 #imaceleb

However, Caitlyn later took to her Instagram Stories to reveal she had received a “big surprise” when she returned to her hotel: Sophia Hutchins had flown in.
“Just got out of the jungle and finally getting my hair and make-up done and boy do I need it,” Caitlyn said to the camera. “Haven’t had it in weeks but when I came out of the jungle, where I had a lot of great friends there but I had a big surprise when I got back to the hotel…
“Sophia’s here!”
She panned the camera to her left to show Sophia smiling excitedly next to her.
