This season of I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! has been chock-full of outrageous moments, from Spencer Pratt's bad behavior and Heidi Pratt's dry shampoo meltdown, to what is probably the craziest moment: Janice Dickinson caught on camera peeing in the camp and then flat-out lying about it to her fellow contestants.

We caught up with Janice, who was voted out of the jungle last night along with Holly Montag, on her farewell press conference call this morning, and she talked openly about her behavior…

"Here's the deal with the producers of I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!," she said. "I'm menopausing. All right? It's hard to hold it in. I was well aware there were cameras everywhere. Hopefully you didn’t see something that needs vaginal rejuvenation. But I have night blindness. The bathroom area was a good 250 feet away from our sleeping area, and I am deathly afraid of snakes, rats, crocodiles and everything else that crawls in the night. When you gotta go, you gotta go. If public urination is, uh, if they don't like it, then turn the television off."

The self-proclaimed "world's first supermodel" also blamed her behavior on her weakened physical state. "I was sicker than a dog through secondary infections from being immunized. I was extremely sick with bronchitis. I contracted secondary malaria infections," she explained. "I was sicker than a dog in heat. Going through menopause and getting sick from having malaria reactions, how would you feel? I was under medication night and day."

When asked how she is feeling now, she said, "For a middle-aged woman going through menopause, as a single parent raising two teenagers, I'm just fine and dandy."

On a lighter note, Janice had nothing by kind words for the Montag family. Of Heidi, she said: "Heidi ate rat tails, and Heidi hung in there, and she did everything she could to win for her charity. She's 100 percent Mother Teresa. Holly Montag is the next Jennifer Aniston. This girl is America's sweetheart. She can do no wrong. But Mother Montag is the saint."
