At the start of the show, Kirsty – who plays Leela Lomax in the soap – appeared on camera, but she was nowhere to be seen later in the episode.
Instead, viewers watched as the remaining 15 stars were put through their paces.
The Sun previously revealed that Kirsty was the first to leave the trial in this series and is among the first exits in the history of the long-running series.
An insider claimed it was all too much for Kirsty and she only lasted about an hour.
It is unclear whether her exit will be broadcast in the second episode.
Kirsty was cast on the show to attract younger viewers thanks to her appeal to youth-oriented soap Hollyoaks.
Speaking about her time on the show, Kirsty said the experience was “absolutely brutal” but wanted to do it again.
The star, who did strength training and running in preparation for the show, previously explained her reasons for taking part, saying: “I feel like as you get older you lose a little bit of perspective on who you are and who I used to be was.”, who I am as a mother, as a partner, as my character Leela.
“You kind of get lost in all of this, so I wanted to break off contact with everyday life, withdraw mentally and physically and face myself and see what my limits are.”
The Sun has contacted a representative for the show.
