The latest celebrity from this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here has been voted out, meaning they’ve narrowly missed out on reaching the final but they sent a message back to camp.
This group of famous faces have now been stationed deep in the Australian jungle for approximately three weeks, but one contestant was compelled to depart immediately during Saturday’s episode (December 6).
After the most recent instalment, the current series of the popular ITV reality programme saw Celebrity’s Go Dating’s Tom Read Wilson, rapper Aitch, YouTuber Angry Ginge and EastEnders actress Shona McGarty confirmed as the final four.
However, the public have been continuously voting for their preferred campmate, and Ant and Dec revealed the latest results, announcing who had secured fourth place live on air. In the end, Aitch was informed he would be leaving the jungle, reports the Express.
This means that Tom, Ginge and Shona remain to compete for this year’s crown. As he bid farewell, Ginge remarked to his fellow campmates: “I knew it.” Before the elimination, Saturday’s episode featured the remaining contestants taking on the iconic cyclone challenge.
Following the show’s tradition, all celebrities donned superhero costumes complete with capes. Ginge wore bright orange, dubbing himself “the pumpkin”.
Aitch wore red, calling himself “the red hot chilli stepper”, whilst Tom was dressed in blue, referring to himself as “the sapphire surfer”. Meanwhile, Shona appeared in silver and was given the title “the silver songstress”.
Eager to begin, Ant & Dec outlined what awaited them in “the world’s most expensive slip and slide”. Their task was to position all four stars onto the designated markers and maintain them there until the trial concluded.
Beginning on the spinning twister, they would need to exit one at a time, triggered by the signal of the fireball.
Shortly after departing the jungle, Aitch sat down with Ant and Dec for an interview. When questioned about whether he felt let down leaving just one day shy of the final, he responded that he was “actually buzzing.”
The Geordie duo questioned the popular artist about his jungle experience, particularly regarding pinching sweets from his fellow campmates. When asked whether he feared it might spark conflict, he confessed: “I’m not worried about it. If we had done it earlier I think there would have been some problems. Jack’s letter helped.”
He also addressed Kelly’s attempt to expose the truth to the remaining camp members following her elimination. Aitch remarked: “She tried to snitch, she didn’t even snitch good.”
The presenters then pressed him on his prediction for the winner and he took the moment to send a message back to camp. While he unsurprisingly backed his mate Ginge, he stated: “I love Shona to death and if she gets it then she more than deserves it however, that crown needs to come back to my hometown.”
Viewers were swift to respond to the most recent elimination and voice their opinions. Numerous fans expressed shock at the outcome, having considered Aitch, whose real name is Harrison, among the frontrunners to claim victory in the competition.
One stunned viewer took to social media, exclaiming: “I was not expecting that, big shocker, Aitch was favourite to win.” Another chimed in with disbelief: “NAH I ACTUALLY REFUSE TO BELIEVE HARRISON HAS GONE.”
A third lamented: “Person that carried the whole series isn’t even in the final”. Meanwhile, another fan expressed disappointment: “There goes my winner.” One person reacted with outrage: ” You have got to be kidding? ! Time to riot!”.
