Kate Garraway received her letter from home in emotional scenes on last night's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 2019.

The Smooth Radio presenter is just days away from the show's final and has already made it down to the final few contestants living in the jungle.

After not seeing her family, husband Derek and children Darcey and Bill, Kate had to take part in a challenge in order to win her letter from home.

All of the campmates entered the challenge area and saw a yellow toy grab machine, the sort seen in amusement arcades where you have to guide the claw to draw out a plush animal.

The grabbing machine held seven toys holding letters which represented each of the campmates' letters from home.

The celebrities had to decide which other two celebrities would try and operate the claw grabber to win their letter for them.

Jacqueline and Myles managed to win Kate’s koala for her quickly, before Myles and Kate teamed up to win Roman’s letter.

The letter from Kate’s family read: "We already know you are the nicest, kindest, strongest woman in the world and now the whole country knows it too.

"We are having a brilliant time with the other friends and family so don’t worry about us.

"But there is a hole in the bed, and in our hearts, where you belong. Keep being the you we know and love so much we are the proudest family in the universe."

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Kate said: "I think as a mum and a wife you do worry so it was so lovely to hear they’re proud of me."

Smooth Radio are backing Kate all the way!
