Steve Price eliminated from I'm A Celeb
The radio shock jock farewells the African jungle, becoming the 10th star to leave I'm A Celebrity ...Get Me Out Of Here!. Vision: Network Ten.
While Price didn't take home the top prize, he says the past 42 days in the South African wilderness have left a profound mark on him - and not just because of the lack of hot water.
During his six week sint in the jungle, Price had a "touching" conversation with comedian Nazeem Hussain, who revealed his family's fears in the wake of the 2014 terror attack in Sydney's Martin Place.
Speaking with Fairfax Media just hours after his elimination, Price said Hussain's story opened his eyes.
"I certainly think I have a greater appreciation of the pressure Muslim Australians are under," he said. "He [Nazeem] told me a very touching story about his sister after the Lindt Cafe Siege. She's a lawyer, and called him up and said I don't think I can wear my hijab home on the train.
"I think they [Muslims] are under threat. I don't think I ever quite understood."
Price said he has not only come out of the show 10 kilograms lighter, but hopefully "a little nicer" as well. But the true test will be when he returns to the airwaves.
"I had to be more tolerant and understanding of other people's opinions," he said. "I had to be less assertive and bossy. And, if it's even possible, less grumpy - but without it being fake.
"My one message out of all this is no matter how old you are and how set you are in your ways, you can change."

As for who he thinks should win, Price said he's backing Casey Donovan.
"She's a remarkable young lady," he said. "The music she created as a young teenager, and the fact she was so poised when she won Australian Idol... I think she's about to blossom again."
However, if you think that means Price has transformed into a full-blown feminist - think again.
"I still won't be on the leftie kumbaya train," he said.
