Lisa Riley is the eighth star to exit I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!.
The Emmerdale star lasted 21 days in camp before viewers voted her off the ITV jungle survival show on Friday night (05.12.25).
After leaving camp, Lisa - who was greeted on the iconic jungle bridge by her fiance, Al, upon her exit - told 50-year-old hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: "It's amazing [to be out] - I'm free! Wow, what an experience.
"[I loved] every morsel, every molecule that you experience, I've done that in there, and I call it my basket of bliss. It has been. Every single second. I'm so lucky."
Lisa, 49, will miss all the laughter she and her campmates - including Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson, 39, Twitch streamer Angryginge, 24, former Spandau Ballet bassist Martin Kemp, 64, and 72-year-old comedienne Ruby Wax - shared.
She said: "The endless laughter from the second our eyes open, to the second we go to sleep, the giddiness, and that - I've said it a lot - embracing our juvenile. And I'm 50 in July, why can't I do that?
"And I've been given the privilege to do it in an Australian jungle. And I've made friends for life, and it's not just like fair-weather friends, I know that they are literally with me forever because of what we've experienced together."
Lisa took on a mothering role in camp, which her co-stars appreciated.
Asked by Ant if she expected to take on that role or if it just "naturally developed", she replied: "I've not been lucky enough to be a mother in life. So if I was able to be the jungle mum, then bring it on.
"People just kept coming to me for advice and a cuddle, and we've all been through things in our own lives, and I think when you've got life experiences, you can share it with the truth, and also go, 'I understand what you're going through, and my heart feels the same as your stuff because it happens in life.'
"If I'm Mama Bear of this jungle, then I feel like I've won already having that title."
And Lisa credits her camp brothers Angry Ginge - real name Morgan Burtwhistle - and rapper Aitch, 25, for bringing out her real side.
She said: "They let me be me, the real me, and why not? We were pranking each other, bring it on."
Angryginge, Aitch - real name Harrison Armstrong - Tom and former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, 34, remain on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!.
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! continues on Saturday (06.12.25) at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
