Irish comedian Andrew Maxwell revealed that he considered walking away from the I’m a Celeb show last night.
The funny man broke down from exhaustion, before being comforted by his fellow campers.
“I was up in the Leaders Cabin, I was chatting to James (Haskell) and Jacqueline (Jossa) and I was just so tired, I just hit a wall,” he told the Bushtucker Telegraph.
Andrew told Eastenders actress Jacqueline: “I honestly thought that I was gonna walk out, but I haven’t, when you’re tired, you just say ‘have I done the right thing’.”
Jacqueline replied: “You’d never leave, I can tell that you’re just tired.”
James also offered words of comfort to Andrew, saying: “Everyone has a bad day.”
“You’re an important part of the group and we need you.”
Andrew crying just broke my heart ???? but I’m glad to see him letting it out instead of bottling it up, showing emotion doesn’t make you less manly so don’t ever be ashamed of showing how you feel, that’s the tweet #ImACeleb #ImACelebrity

Andrew replied: “I’m just a little bit overwhelmed right now.”
James said: “You’re brilliant, you bring so much energy and laughter.”
James and Jacqueline advised the Irish comedian to eat more food and get some rest in the hopes that he would be able to regain some energy.
Really don’t like seeing Andrew so upset ???? #ImACeleb #ImACelebrityGetMeOutOfHere @imacelebrity

However, fans of the show and the funnyman are concerned following his emotional moment.
“Andrew crying isn’t nice to see, hope the crew keep an eye on his mental health,” one said.
