Deni Hines has quit I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! Australia after declaring she desperately needs to use a proper toilet due to constipation.
The singer walked out of the reality series during Tuesday's episode after complaining that the camp diet of rice and beans was 'backing her up' and she was not comfortable using the outdoor bathroom facility, known as the 'long drop'.
'I wanna go home. If our team gets rice and beans tonight, I'm going home!' the 55-year-old warned her co-stars.
When rice and beans was indeed again on the menu that evening, Deni uttered those famous words: 'I'm a celebrity...get me out of here!'
Deni then listed the litany of toilet-related reasons that she wanted to exit the jungle-based series, in addition of complaining that there were 'too many personalities' in the camp.
'I want to leave the jungle because I can't sh*t. It's been six days. I can't do rice and beans again. That will plug me up again,' she said.

'I refuse - refuse - to sit on that long drop more than five minutes and I know it's going to be more than five minutes. I want to go to a real toilet.'
Deni's departure left the campmates feeling deflated, but few tried to talk her out of leaving.
Hines hasn't been making many friends in the South African jungle.
On Monday's episode of the popular Channel 10 reality series, the It's Alright hitmaker clashed with comedian Nath Valvo, almost reducing him to tears.
After taking a dig at Triple J star Concetta Caristo for not helping out around the camp, Deni then set her sights on Nath.
'You're lazy as f***,' Deni said to Nath, who was taken aback by the statement.
He replied: 'Can you not say that, Den, because I've been offering [to help out] but I get told off.'
Nath was almost driven to tears as he spoke about the exchange with Concetta and Matt Zukowski.
'I feel like she's going out of her way to embarrass me in front of people and I just don't know what to do about it,' he said.
Deni has also clashed with Married at First Sight star Cyrell Paule.

Paule got the Aussie singer offside when she admitted that she'd never heard of her.
'I'm a singer,' a clearly annoyed Deni replied when the reality star wondered aloud what Deni's career entailed.
'Can you sing, though? Like, like, really, really sing?' Cyrell hit back.
'I've sold 55,000 records. I guess I can sing,' a visibly furious Deni boasted in response.
'Do I need to hit you in the head with a spoon right now? An Aria Award winner, 55,000 records. No, I can't sing,' Deni added sarcastically.
Fans tuning in at home had mixed opinions about the friction between the women, but despite Cyrell having an infamously hot temper that saw her engage in a drink-throwing incident during her time on Married at First Sight, many were on her side.
'Deni has a chip on her shoulder so big it could feed a small country,' wrote one person on X.
Another said: 'Deni has been gunning for Cyrell since she walked into camp.'
