Georgia Toffolo had only just split up from her boyfriend when she started I'm A Celebrity.
And now the Queen of the Jungle has revealed that the heartbreak had a big effect on her first few days in camp.
“I thought about James a lot in the beginning because we had only just broken up," she told The Sun .
"The timing was off. It was sad."
And she admitted that her "fiercely private" boyfriend wouldn't have been happy when she talked about their love life in camp.

“I have so much respect for him because our split was tough on him," she said.
“He didn’t sign up to being spoken about on TV in front of 12 million people as he’s fiercely private.
“I’m very shocked and touched he supported me.
“I can’t imagine doing the same thing if it was the other way around.”
But the winner of this year's show vows to concentrate on her career rather than her love life for the time being.
“This is my time to concentrate on me and my career and not boys," she said.
“I’m still young and, while I 100 per cent want to get married and have kids one day, I’ve got plenty of time.
“My love life has had a tough year, but winning I’m A Celeb has been good for my self-esteem.”
The Made In Chelsea star opened up to her I'm A Celebrity campmate Vanessa White about her split on last week's show, telling her it happened just a few days before she headed into the jungle.
The blonde beauty, 23, told her pal that her confidence had been knocked and she was hoping to get it back during her time on the ITV show.
Opening up to Vanessa about her split, she said: "You know, it was great but then it just went wrong.
"Maybe I work too much and my work's very difficult.

Vanessa told her she can't blame herself and Toff said: "This is it and the confidence was knocked so much and it happened so soon before I came in here."
It was just a few days before she left for the jungle when her relationship broke down.
Toff added: "I thought I'm going to be away for so long, no phone or anything, I thought I want my confidence to come back, I want to be exactly who I was before."
