During Tuesday’s show, viewers saw Jamie Lynn break down in tears once again after being offered a small square of chocolate by her campmates.
She began crying after eating the tasty treat, as she took herself away for time alone and was later comforted by former boxer Tony Bellew.
The chocolate bar came as a reward after Marvin, Sam and Tony’s successes at The Misery Hotel, offering the campmates their first taste of chocolate since entering the jungle.
Sam, as team leader, decided to crack open the chocolate for a morale boost after the camp experienced extremely wet weather.
Speaking in the Bush Telegraph he said: ‘The heavens have opened. I’ve never seen a wetter day than right here, right now. In my entire existence by the way.
‘It’s like a monsoon. I’m team leader, I’m on my throne, I want people to be happy.’
Sam rallied his camp by saying: ‘Do you know what we need? A bar of chocolate!’
The news went down very well as everyone began to celebrate and Fred painstakingly chopped the bar up into equal parts.
This meant that by the time the chocolate was divided into 11 parts, everyone only had a tiny morsel to taste each.
Sam said in the Bush Telegraph: ‘The camp went wild! Everyone’s clapping. It was like we’d won the World Cup!’
As they shared out every crumb Tony laughed: ‘The struggle is real!’ and Josie chose to save hers for another time, saying she would have ‘chocolate rice’.
In the Bush Telegraph Tony said: ‘I let a piece of chocolate melt on my tongue in my mouth. That was a very strange thing to do. The jungle has made me soft.’
But the chocolate did not go down well with everyone as Jamie Lynn took herself away from camp to cry.

When she walked back in, fellow campmates Tony and Danielle Harold checked up on her.
Tony said: ‘OK, mate?’ while Danielle gave her a cuddle.
Jamie Lynn said: ‘That little square of chocolate p*****d me off.’
Danielle said: ‘It’s because it gives you a taste of what’s outside…’
Jamie Lynn laughed: ‘I probably should have just let someone eat it. I feel a little better maybe. I just needed to cry.’
Nick encouraged her: ‘Have a little cry J.’
Jamie Lynn in the Bush Telegraph said: ‘I just want more chocolate.’
In the Bush Telegraph Tony said: ‘She’s just getting frustrated, she misses her kids. She’s so far away from home. It’s good to just go and ask someone how they’re doing. Just look out for each other. Everyone should have that attitude with everybody.’
Checking on her near the creek, Tony asked her: ‘How you doing girl?’
Jamie Lynn said: ‘I needed a change of scenery. I was struggling earlier.
‘I’m just tired of sitting up there. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to make you come all the way down here.’
Giving her a hug Tony said: ‘Don’t be silly, I was coming to see how you was.’
