Despite currently gaining recognition as a reviewer of food and a judge on TV shows, Grace's previous endeavors showcased her talent as a commentator on trends in mainstream media. She extensively covered the TV program I'm A Celebrity for The Independent publication in 2012, highlighting her versatile skills. Additionally, her fondness for vegan sausages is well-known.

To put it plainly, the show "I'm A Celeb" is not a high-quality program that everyone enjoys. This program displays immature behavior as the contestants starve themselves, struggle with constipation, and harm animals, all while being interrupted by commercials for low-cost meals from Iceland.

I close my blinds tightly before getting comfortable to watch I'm A Celebrity, worried that even just the opening song could decrease the worth of my home.

Although Grace had some negative comments, she confessed to being a devoted viewer of I'm A Celebrity, mentioning that the excitement around people like Nadine Dorries, a Conservative MP who had joined the cast that season, was so contagious that she couldn't resist tuning in for a glimpse.

This past Monday evening, it was announced that Grace will have company in the new season of the show. Nine additional individuals will be joining her, such as Nigel Farage, who previously led the UKIP political party, and Jamie Lynn, younger sibling of singer Britney Spears.

Grace shared with ITV her overwhelming feeling of fear as she prepared to enter the jungle. The thought of experiencing intense hunger worries her the most since she typically enjoys having four or five upscale meals at restaurants each week as part of her job as a critic.

I'm aware that they will test my taste buds and I'm really anxious about having to consume even more unappetizing things than what I've already experienced in upscale restaurants. Once it's over, I'll most likely have to write unenthusiastic articles about the cuisine in the jungle.

Clarifying her motivations for registering, Grace expressed: "I've experienced some extremely challenging moments within the past 4-5 years. My father was diagnosed with dementia, and I was his caregiver until he passed away. My mother was also diagnosed with cancer, and I lost her as well."

I believe that this experience has strengthened me and made me more able to overcome hardships. It will undoubtedly be a significant undertaking, but as I've gotten older, I have come to appreciate the value of living life to its fullest, which is one of the reasons why I agreed to take on this challenge.

She said: "I am strongly committed to avoid being eliminated first. And if I manage to reach a decent stage, I would be genuinely satisfied."

I am not seeking any alterations in my life upon completion of this programme. However, I am excited about the challenge that lies ahead and I believe it will be an enjoyable experience.
