Sigrid Thornton And Tina Provis Leave I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
It was double the heartbreak last night as we said goodbye to not one but two of our beloved celebs with Sigrid Thornton and Tina Provis leaving the camp.
Sigrid may be a multi-award-winning actor but she leaves the jungle with her most impressive accolade yet: the record for the longest time spent in the Viper Room, clocking an impressive 33 minutes surrounded by 170 snakes. Sigrid’s other trial highlights included being tied to train tracks in Train-Stopping, and making her way across a rickety bridge in Tune of Doom.
During her time in camp, Sigrid wowed her fellow celebs with the tales of her celebrity encounters. From dinner with the Queen to meeting David Bowie, Sigrid also opened up about her recent ADHD diagnosis, and shared stories about her mum’s activism in the 1960s, which included chaining herself to the bar rail of the Regatta Hotel in Brisbane.
Sigrid’s time in the jungle was in support of Dementia Australia, she explained: “Dementia is a problem that most families will encounter. It is very challenging to see a loved one ‘disappear’ and to lose connection with the people close to them. It was painful to see this happen to my mother who lived most of her life as a very intelligent, strong and focused person.”
“My charity provides support to families dealing with dementia and is also supporting research to find strategies to better deal with the condition.”
And camp will be a lot quieter as we farewell our resident scream queen Tina, who made quite an impact on our eardrums during her first trial Under the Dam. Tina squealed her way through a Frosty Welcome, brought home the burgers in the Great Aussie Run (aka The Maccas Run), and had us screaming with laughter during the Block-Bug-Ster Video eating trial.
During her time in camp, Tina opened up about overcoming bullying when she was growing up, being a woman of colour in the media, the response to her time on Love Island, and the power that representation can have.
Tina’s time in camp has also been in support of Dementia Australia, a cause very close to her heart. “Dementia has had a big impact on my life, as we lost my Pop to the condition. Watching someone you love go through dementia is heartbreaking, and it is equally heartbreaking to see the impact it has on your whole family as they slowly say goodbye to the person they knew so well,” she said.
“Dementia Australia helps to support people living with dementia, their families, and carers. They also support vital research and health workers providing essential care to those affected,” Tina continued. “I know firsthand that dementia has a flow-on effect, causing huge pressure and strain for families as they look to care for those they love.”
