'What happened was, I went into the Bush Telegraph and apparently, I lost consciousness for a little while. I just wasn't feeling myself. 

'They took me to a medical hut and they were amazing. They really looked after me and they said "you can't go back".

'And I said "don't say that, don't send me home, I'll be fine". I wanted to succeed and make it through to the end but that was the start of everything. It's made me really emotional but I will beat this. I will beat it.'

On the show, Beverley told camp: 'I've got something to tell you all. I didn't feel very well this morning and I had a bit of a funny turn and they've said I can't come back in I've got to go.

Campmate reassured her, 'You've got to look after yourself and we will see you in a few days'.  

Beverley continued: 'I don't want this to finish. I wanted to prove that older women could do it'.
