    Gillian isn't afraid of anything. That trial just proved it.

    She claims she is phobic of everything in the jungle when really she has fears about everything in the jungle if she had a water phobia she probably wouldn't have done the boat ride into camp let alone that trial!!

    I have a fear of spiders, the first thing I would never do for any amount of money is put myself in a situation where I would be likely to encounter a spider.

    I wouldn't even count my fear as at a level to be deemed phobia.

    I have a phobia of spiders and I cant even watch theTV when they do trials with spiders on it. I am also not a strong swimmer although I do swim, but I dont like going out of my depth if other people are around or putting my head underwater. I dont have a particular fear or phobia of water but I couldn't have done what Gillian did in that trial so there is no way she has a phobia of water. If she did she wouldn't have done it.

    I think a lot of it is exaggerated, just look at the digger trial. I think she only did this trial because Dom was there and he would tell everyone the truth when they got back.

    Gillian slipped up when she mentioned Katie Price. Basically she has gone for the Katie Price 'phobias' of last year and multiplied it 100 x for maximum exposure on TV.

    Yet she insists that she has never seen the programme before.

    Well it seems about as well founded as her nutrition qualifications given the evidence.

    I have a phobia of deep waters. Can't even go in the deep end of a baby swimming pool.

    Breaking Benjamin's singer has got a phobia of Planes which is why he is never going to leave the U.S. (bye bye any World tours :()

    Gillian is just attention seeking.
