Mel was the only woman - being on the men's team - to go without proper sustenance for 4 days.

Marital breakdown wounds the most ordinary of us in private, and makes us feel like we have personally failed, so for such a famous, beautiful and successful celebrity to have to deal with her marital failure in the 'public eye', must be deeply humiliating - no matter how much of a 'brave face' she may put on. So Mel being already emotionally 'disturbed' due to her marital and personal problems prior to entering the jungle, probably meant that she was unconsciously in 'defensive' mode about any question or subject to do with 'relationships'. Hence why she may have overreacted with Edwina - who does seem to like pushing younger, more attractive female's 'buttons'.

Finally who knows whether - on top of all this - Mel wasn't also suffering PMT, MT or Post MT? I mean she's hardly likely to advertise the fact is she?

Maybe if she stayed off Twitter boasting about her sex life it might keep her out of the public eye, therefore it wouldnt be such a fall from grace when it all ends.

As for PMT etc its far more likely she is on the pill than to be suffering through her MC in the Jungle.
