"We were doing a trial where there was water that was about four foot high in a tank, there were triangle flags, and each person had to wind down and get that tip as near the water as you could.
"You could barely see it but got told 'don't let it touch the water', then you roll it back. It was very hard, but we were all given instructions, but were told you cannot try do this or that, try to counterbalance it.
"There was only three of us left and suddenly a man called out, 'Gino, you're out. You're cheating!'
"Well, Gino effed and blinded and C-d, hurled insults at the young man. What he called him, I don't want to repeat. He should've been put out of the jungle when he was caught cheating.
"He was an absolute rotten cheat and what did they do? They let him win. And he cheated on his own people in there, and that is the truth and the first time I've told it, but he needs telling."
Kim has gone on to star in other reality TV shows such as Celebrity Big Brother, Celebrity Chase and Celebrity Call Centre for SU2C.
