Kayla Collins' bad day in the jungle was made worse by the arrival of an unwanted visitor in the camp and the mystery of a missing cereal bar. The American Playboy Bunny admitted she was at the end of her tether after torrential rain left the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! camp soaking wet. She said: "Today is really rough for me, the thing is I'm a really tough, strong girl but I'm just not cut out for this. I take on the challenges because I'm not a quitter, but I hate it. I go to bed and I pray it's me that's next, I don't want to be here any more." The model sobbed after the contestants were challenged to play a game to win letters from home, but did not manage to complete the task in time, meaning her letter went up in flames. She also lost her temper with Dom Joly after she became convinced someone had stolen a Gillian McKeith cereal bar the celebrities had won in a game. Dom told her to calm down, but she snapped back: "I'm not having a hissy fit, but you know what really makes me mad?... Never mind, you know what? F*** you." The arrival of a cane toad which appeared close to her bed did not help her mood either. She said: "That thing looks really mean. It's just staring at me. He is looking right at me with evil eyes."
