Katie went on to this season’s show saying she wanted closure, which I can kind of understand; last time she was in the jungle she was distracted from the actual experience by her budding romance with Peter Andre, so maybe she wanted to go back and ‘own it’ for herself this time. But surely she expected the witch trial that inevitably ensued? And as Kim remarked to her the other day, it’s all attention of one kind or another, which she loves, so why the petulant exit? My instinct is that Katie was on her very best behaviour, and thought that she would be able to charm the public with her display of humility, friendliness and good temper. Perhaps a few classes in method acting preceeded her arrival, or maybe she’d been hypnotised to keep her gob shut! When these tactics failed, she got upset and couldn’t handle it. Reading her biography, (as I’m ashamed to admit I have done) she is so unbelievably needy that I doubt she can easily cope with the amount of rejection she has received.

At least her departure ensures we won’t witness the first ever live on TV nervous breakdown, something I feared might occur if the nightly torture continued.

It did amuse me that she said ‘hello’ to her kids after each trial… I doubt very much whether the estranged Mr. Andre would be encouraging toddlers to watch their mum in such gruesome scenarios! To finish with a quote from Hamlet, I fear this time, Katie has been well and truly hoist by her own petard!
