Kim Kardashian has broken her silence on Caitlyn Jenner’s stint on I’m A Celebrity.
The Kardashian clan had kept noticeably silent on Caitlyn’s appearance in the jungle – until now.
Kim, who was raised by Caitlyn after her mother married her in 1991, took to Twitter to share a video of the Olympic gold medalist delivering a rousing speech to her fellow celebrities.
The 70-year-old told her fellow campmates: ‘Let’s go team! Not just another day, another day to excel, another day to be great.
‘Rise and shine,’ she added, in an apparent reference to the Rise and Shine song her daughter Kylie Jenner has sang to her baby Stormi.
‘I literally recorded this and set this as my alarm a few weeks ago,’ Kim said of the video, and honestly, we can’t blame her.
This tweet might not seem like much, but it’s the first time that someone from the Kardashian family has spoken publically about Caitlyn being in the jungle.
This includes Caitlyn’s biological daughters Kendall and Kylie, who have yet to reference her time on the show.

Caitlyn’s relationship with that branch of her family tree has endured some tension in the past after Caitlyn released her memoir, as it was perceived that Caitlyn was making negative comments about her ex-wife Kris and the Kardashian lifestyle.
In the book, Caitlyn wrote that ‘anytime a Kardashian is on television, many in the public tend to think it is a publicity stunt to make money’.
Nowadays however, Caitlyn’s relationship with her ex Kris, her daughters and her step-children has largely improved.
Her relationship with Khloe however may not yet be back on track as she was not seen at Caitlyn’s 70th birthday party in October.
Caitlyn has not shied away from speaking about her family on the show and has shared details about Kim’s start in business, saying: ‘Kimberly never went to college. The minute she left high school she started businesses. She had her first business out of the closet.
‘Kimberly would go into the ladies’ closets. Some of these are like 2,000 square feet – they’re huge. Beverly Hills ladies.
‘They figure out what they want to get rid of and Kimberly has an eBay site… Kimberly sells them for them and gets 30% commission.’
She also praised Kim’s husband, saying: ‘I like Kanye. Kanye was very, very good to me.’
I’m A Celebrity continues tonight at 9:10pm on ITV.
