One of the favourites to win the show has left the jungle
The latest contestant from this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here has been voted out, narrowly missing a spot in the final at the eleventh hour, leaving even campmates in tears.
After spending approximately three weeks deep in the Australian jungle, one celebrity’s journey came to an abrupt end during Saturday’s episode (December 6). Following the latest instalment, the hit ITV reality show revealed its final four: Celebrity’s Go Dating’s Tom Read Wilson, rapper Aitch, YouTuber Angry Ginge and EastEnders actress Shona McGarty.
However, with the public continuing to cast their votes for their preferred campmate, presenters Ant and Dec delivered the latest results, announcing live on air who had finished in fourth place. In the end, it was Aitch who was told his jungle adventure had come to a close, reports the Express.
This leaves Tom, Ginge and Shona remaining to compete for this year’s coveted title. As he bid farewell to his fellow campmates, Ginge remarked: “I knew it.” However, his fellow campmates were clearly emotional with Shona visibly in tears.
Prior to the elimination, Saturday’s episode featured the remaining celebrities tackling the iconic Cyclone challenge.
In keeping with the show’s beloved tradition, all contestants donned superhero outfits complete with flowing capes. Ginge appeared in vivid orange, dubbing himself “the pumpkin”.
Aitch wore red, christening himself “the red hot chilli stepper” whilst Tom opted for blue as he styled himself “the sapphire surfer”.
Meanwhile, Shona was clad in silver, earning the moniker “the silver songstress”. Eager to begin, Ant & Dec outlined what lay ahead 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 navigate out individually, triggered by the signal of the fireball.
After his departure, Aitch sat down with Ant and Dec for an interview mere moments after exiting the jungle. When questioned whether he felt disappointed to leave just one day shy of the final, he replied he was “actually buzzing.”
Viewers wasted no time in responding to the latest elimination and expressing their opinions. Many were taken aback by the outcome, as they had considered Aitch, whose real name is Harrison, among the frontrunners to claim victory in the entire competition. One astonished viewer wrote on social media: “I was not expecting that, big shocker, Aitch was favourite to win.”
Another posted: “NAH I ACTUALLY REFUSE TO BELIEVE HARRISON HAS GONE.” A third remarked: “Person that carried the whole series isn’t even in the final”.
Meanwhile, someone else stated: “There goes my winner.” One person declared: ” You have got to be kidding? ! Time to riot!”.
I’m A Celebrity concludes tomorrow at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX and STV.
