Angel mum gave me strength

Lisa Riley opens up about her struggles in the Camp...and those feelings for 'juicy' Ant

LISA Riley says her beloved late mum helped pull her through her darkest moment in the Jungle.

The usually bubbly Emmerdale star said she felt alone and vulnerable as she struggled with camp life.

The 49-year-old said at her lowest she took herself away to the creek to be by herself.

"I sat there on my own, and I had a little word with my mum," she reveals. "I spoke to all my angels up there, but especially her.

"I was like, 'Mum, I need some strength. I need to get through. I'm struggling, and I am finding things really hard."

Lisa was incredibly close to mum Cath and was left devastated when she passed away from cancer in 2012 aged just 57.

Her lowest point came after taking part in the fish gut challenge, calling it the "toughest time" she faced.
