Summary

- She was compared to her mother Gillian's I'm A Celeb fainting spell.

Afton McKeith, daughter of Gillian McKeith, experienced significant distress during the premiere of the new ITV series 'The Summit.' Just minutes into the competition, the 25-year-old model and fitness coach reported having a panic attack while facing a challenging rope crossing over 'Paradise Gorge.' This incident quickly drew comparisons from viewers to her mother Gillian's dramatic fainting spell during a live trial on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' in 2010.
Despite her fear and tears, Afton managed to inch across the rope to safety. She later appeared on 'This Morning' with host Ben Shephard, discussing her experience. Afton admitted to having no game plan and not wanting to reveal her mother's identity initially. She did, however, follow her mother's advice about maintaining personal hygiene by keeping her dishes separate.
Afton described the show as far more demanding than she expected, highlighting the treacherous journey and challenging conditions. She also touched upon past comments she made regarding the Beckham family and paparazzi, suggesting David and Victoria Beckham might have tipped off photographers about their son Brooklyn's movements.
