The reality TV star even left fans thinking she was quitting the show as she said the famous words (“I’m a celebrity, get me out of here”) that allow a celebrity to communicate with the production team, telling them they want to leave the show.

Redknapp told the celebrities that they all had to take part in a late-night challenge titled “prison of hell” just moments after they returned to camp after completing another task during Friday night’s episode.

Gemma Collins left in tears after Harry Redknapp’s prank

The show, which is an all-star spin-off of the original and is set in South Africa, saw Collins declare: “I’m a celebrity, get me out of here.

“I’m done. I can’t do any more.”

The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) star wiped tears from her eyes and held her head in her hands, as campmate Scarlett Moffatt looked on in shock.

It’s not the first time Collins has struggled in the camp, as she also broke down on Wednesday night’s show and confided in former Emmerdale actor Adam Thomas, as she said: “I don’t think I can take it.”

After pranking the camp, Redknapp then told the campmates that he had been joking and that there was no challenge after all.

“That was right up my street,” a delighted-looking Redknapp said.

“A proper wind-up. They fell for it hook, line and sinker.

“Oh, it worked a treat.”

How much do you know about Harry Redknapp?

Collins explained that a prison task would have sent her over the edge.

“To me, it was claustrophobic.

“I would just have to say them fateful words,” she said.

Fans of the show reacted to the clip on Instagram, with one saying: “Nice one Harry 😂😂😂”.

Someone else commented: “You done nearly gave me a heart attack!

“So glad she is staying 💖💖 hang in there Gem!! Xx”.

This person said: “💯 Harry that was funny as!😂

“A real proper wind up.”

Others thought the prank from Harry was unfair: “Harry, that was very mean.

“Poor Gemma 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭”.

This person said: “Think it was a bit harsh harry”.

The episode also saw Collins open up about her views on body image, telling Moffatt: “We’re under scrutiny all the time, and I never used to worry about it, but because everyone goes on about body image, this, that and the other, you then become like thinking you’re disgusting and ugly every day.

“Because of all the pressure and, you know, people saying horrible things.

“And actually, I’m just alright as I am.”

Collins later added: “This is me.

“I get sick of it – this diet, that diet, this pen, that pen.

“You know, at the end of the day, I think we’ve just got to accept all of us come in different shapes and sizes, and we can all be beautiful in our own way.

“It’s really what’s in your heart.”
