Homes Under the Hammer presenter Martin was first to make his way out of camp and up to have a chat with Ant and Dec, telling them the jungle experience had "surpassed all my expectations".

Having come into the camp late alongside Danny Baker, Martin opened up about what it was like to break into the close knit group.

He said: "It was always going to be a difficult thing to break into. It got quite tough quite quickly."

Martin admitted he was quite hyper when he first went in, and explained the reasons behind it.

He added: "It comes from being badly bullied at school, you over compensate.

"One of things the jungle has taught me is, I’m OK. If you just chill out and be yourself people come to you."

The presenters then asked about his somewhat strained relationship with former EastEnders actor Larry Lamb, who left the camp on Thursday night's show.

Martin said: "I never had a problem with Larry, he had a problem with me.

"He felt that I was a bit of a threat to that group which I was never going to be. On a few occasions he made it clear I wasn’t one of the group.
"I didn’t want to cause a fuss or an atmosphere in camp so I gave him a bit of a wide birth really.
"Not everyone in the world is going to like you and that’s a life lesson."

Meanwhile former footballer Wayne admitted he didn't expect to enjoy himself as much as he did in the jungle, but at the same time, he felt "drained".

He said: "I can’t believe the way I’ve acted on TV, crying on TV."

As for being away from wife Frankie and their two sons, Wayne added:"I found it really hard at the beginning, I spend every day with the kids and the Mrs."

Asked by Ant if he had a problem with Martin during his time in the jungle, he insisted that wasn't the case.

Wayne said: "Martin’s harmless, the way he started off with the competition, I felt really sorry for him, he felt like he was getting bullied.

"Martin’s Martin, he’s so enthusiastic and he can rub people up the wrong way."
