I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! stars are being warned of feeling depression and shame during an "inevitable" post-down comedown.
The hit ITV series wrapped last week, with Giovanna Fletcher being crowned Queen of the Castle following three weeks in north Wales.
And although she might be feeling elated about the win, the same can't be said for her celebrity campmates.
"Winning this competition will feel like a real victory because the challenges themselves are hard work," psychotherapist Noel McDermott told the Mirror.
"Getting through them alone is quite a victory so the runners up shouldn't and hopefully don’t feel like they have failed."
He added: "Being able to remain part of a functioning team effort to win food for your campmates and also shine as an individual for the home audience is quite a feat to pull off and Giovanna should feel very proud.
"She will no doubt be feeling happy but also relieved that it’s all over."
Mr McDermott adds that while most - if not all - will experience a sense of relief that their time in the castle is over, they need to be ready for the "comedown" that comes after the show.
"We can’t stay at the level of intensity the show generates and going back to normal life may feel pretty dull after this," he added.
"There may be a period of mild depressive symptoms to follow and in some cases it’s possible that the exposure of the show leaves feelings of possible shame."
Celebrities are told to "ease themselves back into life" following their stint on the show in a bid to make their comedown easier to deal with.
"It’s a unique experience and the contestants should be kind to themselves during this period and ease themselves back into life a bit at a time," Nr McDermott adds.
"Any feelings of exposure should be dealt with by gently understanding that the unique environment produces unique responses.”
