Emulate Emily in a brown floral tea dress by Auguste
We are still swooning over Emily Atack's Australian wardrobe. Stylist Angie Smith kitted her out for I'm A Celeb and she did a fine job indeed!
This outfit was one of our favourite looks. Emily channelled jungle chic in a brown floral tea dress by Auguste, matched with a practical pair of hiking boots by Hi-Tech. A must when you're in the outback!
The great news? This dress is still available to buy so, if you like what you see, click (right) to bag it now.
Or for a slightly different take on Emily's Aussie style, head to the edit down under. You can even complete the look with her boots!
Admitting he would have loved to have presented another series, Adam wrote: 'Ok so this isn't awkward ... imagine your first ever presenting role on a show that's been running for years... you do one show and it gets cancelled!! [sic]
The former Emmerdale star continued: 'You can't write it, haha aww not gonna lie wish I could have had another go at it... but that's life! What a job what an experience at least I can tell my kids I was once a presenter!'
Adam went on to pay homage to the ITV2 cast and crew and admitted it was a pleasure to know and work with them on the show.

The funnyman also added that he would now be free for the panto season: 'Until we meet again x ps am now free for Panto... I'd say call my agent but I don't have one so please DM me haha great start to 2020!!'
He finished the post with a sweet nod to his co-hosts, adding: 'Wahooo let's go !! The face @joeldommett pulls when he knows this isn't going to end well haha love you guys @emilyatackofficial.'
Joel, who has presented the show since 2017, also took to Instagram to share a farewell post and thank the show's crew and viewers for watching.

He wrote: 'Sad news - The time has unfortunately come to put Extra Camp to bed in its uncomfortable hammock. The show will no longer continue.'
Joel confessed producers reassured concerns the hosts weren't to blame: 'It's been a huge privilege to be a part a show with such a rich history filled with amazing hosts. The producers have assured me that Emily, Adam and myself are not to blame.
He joked: 'They said the show was better than ever and also that Joel is the sexiest presenter we have ever had (I wasn't listening but it was something like that).

Joel then went on to discuss the real reason behind the show's axe, which he explained is because of the price of the programme given 'how late it's on and the funds will be used in more prime time slots'.
He concluded: 'I've told them that Adam will do it for free but the decision is made. Thank you to all the crew who have made this the most wonderful 3 years, you have shaped me as a person and presenter. I've learnt so much. Thank you to everyone for watching.'
Emily also referenced the end of Extra Camp on her Instagram Story, where she joked that Adam was blaming himself over the decision.

However she playfully added 'it's probably because of me!', before optimistically adding that they will all be moving on to new things.
Before the news broke an ITV source told The Sun: 'ITV have been discussing the future of Extra Camp for some time and it's not a decision they've taken lightly as they are very fond of it.
'But bosses are focusing on growing ITV2's prime-time offering on the channel and Extra Camp, sadly, isn't a part of that.

'The show is quite expensive to make and, in the current climate, they've had to make a tough commercial decision.'
The show was first fronted by presenter Louise Loughman, before tragic It girl Tara Palmer-Tomkinson took over alongside Mark Durden-Smith.
Other key appearances include Matt and Emma Willis, Caroline Flack, Joe Swash and Scarlett Moffatt.
