BEATS INSECURITIES TO TAKE CROWN

Kez back to face the music

hurt. I try not to engage with those people who leave nasty comments.”

Georgia, who wears a dress size 6, hired Heartcore Fitness personal trainer Sam Bird to help stay slim.

Days before entering the jungle, she said: “I’ve been working out loads. It’s just dawned I’m going to be in a bikini in front of a lot of people.”

Her anxieties were amplified days before flying to Australia when she split from boyfriend James Middleton. Georgia said: “My confidence was knocked so much,

“I thought, I’m going to be away for so long with no phone or anything, and I want my confidence back. I want to be who I was before.”

James encouraged his Instagram followers to vote for his “superstar” ex, amid rumours they had reconciled before she entered camp.

With concerns she would be deemed an “airhead”, Georgia became determined to prove she was both intelligent and fearless in the face of a Bushtucker Trial.

The feminist star called out Amir Khan and Jamie Lomas when the pair wrote off her skills in a task, saying: “I am quite small but it doesn’t mean I am less mighty. It shouldn’t ever be unequal in here.”

As well as admitting to a penchant for middle-aged politicians – she describes Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg as her “top celebrity crush” – she also palled up with Stanley Johnson, 77.

In Camp, Georgia, was outspoken about her political opinions, though little of them were aired. She says of her political beliefs: “I get labelled a ditzy, blonde reality TV person, which is fine. But it’s great to know you can do both. It’s OK to have big, blonde hair and wear my bikini and talk about politics. Why not?”

Next up, Georgia is eyeing a TV presenting career, with ITV and Channel 4 both vying to sign her for deals worth £5million.

She has vowed to “use this and my influence to do good”.

She believes that chats with Stanley opened her eyes to some of the charitable causes she could lend her new found fame too, including conservation and campaigning against female genital mutilation.

She said: “Hopefully I’ll do something great.” With well-merited, new found confidence, no doubt she will. KEZIA Dugdale – writing exclusively in today’s Record – said she’s “desperate” to get back work as she flies home from Australia to face her critics.

The ex-Scottish Labour leader stunned Holyrood by dropping her day job to take part in I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!

Due in Scotland tomorrow, she admitted putting people “through the mill” in the past three weeks.

And she is keen to reset party relations by congratulating new leader Richard Leonard on his election – a contest overshadowed by her awkwardly timed jungle flit.

But she said the experience was worth it, adding: “Goodness knows it’s been a while since there’s been anything in politics to laugh about.”

Picking up her Record column duties today, she wrote: “I’m coming home wiser, with a clearer mind for the challenges ahead.”

Dugdale angered some colleagues by her decision but supporters from all parties, including Nicola Sturgeon, got behind her during the ITV contest.

However, opponents ridiculed her for promising to talk up “Labour values” – while mostly having to eat and drink vile concoctions including a bull’s penis smoothie.

“I said I was going in there to talk up Labour values and only time will tell if I can successfully use the platform of the show to do that,” Dugdale added.

“But I do hope I’ve shown that politicians, just like everyone else, are decent people with flaws and hang-ups, happy to send themselves up in the name of a giggle.”

Viewers were left in no doubt about the friction between the Lothian MSP and boxer Amir Khan. She said: “He was the worst for insisting that there were boy jobs and girl jobs in the jungle.

“But guess who was first to get a post-jungle manicure?”
