Caitlyn jokes ‘girl thing is pretty good’ as Bruce had to do all the work in camp

I'm a Celeb 's Caitlyn Jenner joked that she is having a much nicer time as a girl in the celebrity jungle.

The 70-year-old, who transitioned in 2017, said: "This girl thing is pretty good!"

She explained that when she appeared in the US version of the show back in 2003 as Bruce, things were different.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Caitlyn revealed: "As Bruce, I was doing everything for everyone, but here everyone is offering to make me tea.

"This girl thing is working out pretty good." 

Viewers took to Twitter to laugh at Caitlyn's quip.

"‘This girl thing is working out pretty good’ I am howling at Caitlyn!", chuckled one.

"'Last time I was in here, as Bruce, I was doing everything for everybody, doing this, doing that.

"'Now I'm thinking to myself, this girl thing's working out good' - I like how Caitlyn can look it things in the correct, humorous manner", said another.

"‘This girl thing is working out pretty good’ Caitlyn is an icon", added a third.

Caitlyn is reportedly being spurred on in the jungle by heartache she’s carried for more than 50 years.

The former Olympian was left distraught when her beloved younger brother Burt was killed aged 18 – in a Porsche she had lent him.

Writing in her ­autobiography The Secrets Of My Life, the reality star wrote: “Burt has taken the Porsche on Old Canton Road. Because the road was old, it was narrow and curvy.

"There was a rise, and Burt took it too fast. The Porsche went airborne and then crooked.

“It hit a tree and then a rock wall of sizable boulders. Hutchings was flung from the car and killed instantly. Burt suffered critical injuries.”

The Jenner family had to make the unimaginable decision to turn off Burt’s life-support.

“I have struggled with guilt", she said, but "never in my life have I ever beat myself up about it."
