Laila Morse leaves the jungle early on

Laila Morse has become the second contestant to be booted off 'I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!'.

The 'EastEnders' actress was voted off the Australian jungle-based show last night after landing in the bottom two with 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' star Alfonso Ribeiro, and in an emotional exit interview she admitted the experience has calmed her "fiery" temper.

While fighting to hold back the tears, the 68-year-old star told hosts Ant and Dec: "I'm disappointed really, but I could do with a nice hot bath.

"I've enjoyed it, but it's something that no-one can explain really.

"It's made me a better person. I was always a bit fiery, and this has calmed me down. I had a lot to think about. Family. I'm glad I've done it."

Earlier in the episode, Laila – who plays Big Mo in the BBC One Soap – won 10 stars out of a possible 11 in her 'Who Dares Wins... Stars' Bushtucker Trial, which saw her put in uncomfortable situations with a number of jungle animals.

Laila had to lie down flat as a crocodile was placed on top of her for one minute and she jokingly asked Ant and Dec if she could cuddle it, while she also had to wear a pair of see-through trousers complete with a snake inside for 30 seconds.

The star's fellow campmates appeared shocked when Ant and Dec announced she was the next celebrity to go and she went on to tip Westlife singer Kian Egan to be named King of the Jungle.
