Anne Hegerty has appeared on This Morning today - and her appearance has absolutely stunned I'm A Celebrity fans.

Viewers of the ITV1 reality show tuning into the daytime favourite were left gobsmacked.

It came after The Chase star flaunted her new look after a dramatic transformation inside the jungle.

The Governess's weight loss was hailed by those viewing at home.

"Well done Anne & how great you look with the weight challenges are good!" one wrote.

Another user said: "Jesus Anne has lost a shed load of weight. She looks good."

This Morning viewers were pleased for Anne

As her name was called by hosts Declan Donnelly and Holly Willoughby, the professional quizzer's face broke into a smile before she shouted out: "Yes!"

Hegerty, a quiz master on ITV's The Chase, managed 19 days in the jungle and struggled with its biting insects, heat and Bushtucker trials.

After saying her goodbyes, Hegerty joined Willoughby and Donnelly in the studio where she praised her fellow contestants for helping her struggle through life in the jungle.

She said: "I couldn't have remotely dealt with it without 10 fantastic other people. It was all down to them. It was all about them. They have been so kind."

Hegerty follows Rita Simons, Noel Edmonds, Malique Thompson-Dwyer and Sair Khan in leaving the jungle.

The 60-year-old, who has autism, also spoke of how her condition had made her time in the jungle more challenging.

Sipping from a glass, she said: "It was awful at the beginning... It really hit me, and I was like, 'What have I done? I can't remotely do this. What was I thinking?'

"If people understood, when you suddenly come up against a situation which you thought you had imagined it, and you hadn't. Sometimes people say autism is a failure of imagination. We are not good at imagining outcomes.

"We are not really able to imagine what something is going to be like. We think we have done all the work we need to. I was just a zombie at Snake Rock for at least the first 24 hours."

Earlier, the seven remaining contestants had faced buckets of insects to gain entry to the Jungle Arms, the reality show's own makeshift pub where the camp members were rewarded with snacks, drinks and karaoke.

A fixture from previous series, entry to the Jungle Arms was not guaranteed and the remaining celebrities were forced to complete a challenge before walking through the door.

After a day which saw John Barrowman rescued from a cage in the Rotten Retrieval Bushtucker Trial, the contestants were told to make their way into the jungle in search of the Jungle Arms.

Forming a queue outside, the celebrities had to approach one by one before being confronted by the doorman, Kiosk Kev.

They were challenged to answer his question and if they were wrong, the contestant would have to return to the back of the queue.

As the group waited, they were showered with a variety of creepy crawlies and, as a bucket of crickets was poured over his head, Harry Redknapp joked: "They should have called this place The Cricketers Arms."

The former football manager and Emily Atack were the last to gain entry after Redknapp answered wrongly and Atack was caught cheating, after Redknapp shouted the correct answer to her question.

After the group had all gained entry, festivities began.

Fleur East and James McVey sang and strummed a guitar before Redknapp stood to deliver a rousing rendition of Paul Anka's My Way, made popular by Frank Sinatra.

Barrowman and Atack took on Summer Nights from the musical Grease while Hegerty sang Mamma Mia by Abba.

Led by East, the group sang Lean On Me by Bill Withers, and the evening concluded with Atack and East dancing to Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars.
