LOOSE Women’s Christine Lampard praised “warrior” Jane Moore for facing her “biggest fear” on her latest Bushtucker Trial.
Christine, 45, joined Joel Dommett via video link on the ITV2 spin-off show on Thursday.
The presenter said her good friend and fellow co-star Jane is a “loyal” person through and through and was proving that in camp.
Christine shared: “Jane is brilliant, she’s an absolutely warrior of a woman. She’s fiercely loyal, she’s very protective and she’s a mum of course, you can see her motherly kind of instincts when it comes to any of the guys doing a challenge.
“That’s just the type of person she is., she’s got your back.”
Christine revealed that the Loose Women ladies were proud of Jane for taking on her biggest fear in Fright At The End of The Tunnel earlier this week.
It saw Jane below ground and underwater as campmate Maura Higgins searched for code words above ground and shouted them to the journalist in order for her to unlock the padlocks.
Christine revealed that any Bushtucker Trial with water would have filled Jane with dread – but said she faced it like a pro.
Christine said: “On our infamous Loose Women WhatsApp group, the night before we heard she was going for the trial and it might involve water, everyone panicked because we know that’s the one thing she hates.
“That would freak me out, but I thought she did really well.
“All she was concerned about was trying to get as many stars as possible to keep everybody happy. She’s an absolute team player when it comes down to that. We’re all very proud of her.
“I didn’t want to vote for her doing trials, I thought it’s a bit cruel. But I think she really wants to do them, so I’m voting for her all the time.”
Jane and Maura walked away with six out of 12 stars.
Ant and Dec praised them saying: “That was a very, very tough Trial, so I think you did remarkably the pair of you, you should both be very proud.”
On tonight’s show, fans praised Jane for helping Maura to victory in one of the most recent Bushtucker Trials.
The former Love Island star was selected to compete in one of the challenges today and found herself struggling to get past her fear of insects.
During the trial Maura was locked in a cage where creepy crawlies were routinely dumped over her head.
She had to answer questions about complicated lullabies correctly to earn ‘money‘ for her teammates so they could buy luxury items back at the camp.
Despite being in one of the opposing teams, Jane ended up shouting an answer to her as the Maura flailed around in a panic.
Although the reality star still struggled to ignore the worms and cockroaches swarming up her arms and into her ears, the hint from Jane helped her win $600.
This meant when all the celebs headed back to camp, she was able to exchange some of the money for chocolate caramel slices.
A few viewers took to social media to make fun of Maura for making out she won on her own, with one writing: “Maura only got 600 cos Jane helped her.”
Another quoted Maura saying “God I’m good,” querying: “Didn’t Jane tell your the answer Maura?”
A third applauded the Loose Women panelist, saying: “Aw props to Jane for giving Maura the answer.”
