It’s been an eventful 24 hours in the jungle for Caitlyn Jenner.
The reality star, 70, spent the early hours of her first morning having a cry, while her campmates still slept – before eventually trying out the jungle shower.
Caitlyn was seen leaving her bed to cry, later telling the Bush Telegraph: ‘Being the first night in the Jungle my head was spinning. I’m kinda trying to figure out if I’m doing the right thing.

When everyone had woken up later in the morning, James Haskell turned to Caitlyn and asked: ‘Did you wake up this morning and think “OMG, it’s real, I’m actually in the Jungle with all these idiots?”‘
Caitlyn replied: ‘No actually, I woke up in the middle of the night. I had a tough night.’

The celebrities continued to chat, moving on to Caitlyn’s transition from Bruce.
‘I thought I was gonna transition before I was 40, I didn’t want to be an old chick but this is the latter 80s and I never felt like I fitted in anywhere. I was trying to figure myself out, running around town, cross dressing, running around.
‘At the time, I had a turbo Porsche and it was like the day before Halloween and this car pulled up beside me and it’s my next door neighbour. I said I was going to a Halloween party!’

James reflected: ‘It’s interesting about wanting to express yourself and how hard it is in life wanting to express yourself but having a thing where you can’t let it and that you have to drive around town
‘I think the biggest thing about your thing is all those people thinking about not being able to do it is the fact they should feel comfortable to do it however hard it is because 99 per cent of the time it’ll work out alright.’
Caitlyn replied: ‘All my life I struggled with all of those. Then I got my first DWF, “driving whilst female”. I was driving my car and some guy in a pick up truck beeps his horn and you look over and he’s like blowing kisses.’
James asked Caitlyn if she had a music track she played whilst driving around town, to which Caitlyn laughed and said: ‘Yes, Aerosmith’s Looks like A Lady.’
The camp all started to sing it. Caitlyn smiled and said: ‘When I saw Steven Tyler I told him that.’
Talking in the Bush Telegraph, Ian Wright said: ‘Caitlyn talking about herself is just so interesting, I’m fascinated.’
