Caitlyn Jenner joined \'I\'m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!\' because she wanted to be a "positive inspiration to people".
The 70-year-old reality TV star - who was known as Bruce Jenner prior to undergoing gender reassignment surgery - has revealed she had a very specific motivation in mind when she accepted the invitation to star on the ITV programme.
Caitlyn - who candidly discussed her gender transition whilst on \'I\'m a Celebrity\' - explained on \'Extra Camp\': "One of the reasons I wanted to do this show is because obviously I\'m trans and I\'ve had to deal with this all my life.
"There\'s a lot of other people that are behind closed doors. Everybody\'s got stuff and everybody\'s got things that they have to deal with.
"For me, this is what I had to deal with my whole life and how I overcame so many things. I wanted to be a positive inspiration to people, that you know what you can have differences, you can have issues, but just live your life authentically.
"It doesn\'t mean it\'s the end of your life, that you can go out, you can do stuff like this, you can be in the public eye. There is a life after it. And so I kinda wanted to show that, and generally inspire other people."
Caitlyn - who became visibly emotional during her appearance on the show - added: "You just wake up in the morning, and try to be yourself."
