I’m a Celebrity has evicted its first star contestant of the 2024 series.
After almost two weeks of watching stars from Reverend Richard Coles to Coleen Rooney in the jungle, the public were able to vote to save their favourite campmate from the first elimination.
Broadcasting live on Friday night (29 November), hosts Ant and Dec revealed that the first celebrity to leave the show was journalist and Loose Women star Jane Moore.
Reacting to the news, she said: “Hard work does not get rewarded, let’s put it that way.”
After leaving camp and meeting Ant and Dec, she gave them a “soggy hug”, she said the experience had been “weird and magical”, adding: “People say it’s the best experience of their lives but I wouldn’t say that with all the rain!”
The hosts also chatted to her about the “one point of contention” from while she was on the ITV show, in which Moore accuses former boxer Barry McGuigan of ageism and misogyny over giving her the chore of washing up at camp.
“I wasn’t pleased about that to be honest,” she told the hosts in her exit interview.
Moore said she would like to see the “quiet hardworkers” like Melvin Odoom and Coleen Rooney win the series. “They’re not flamboyant but they’re solid.”
Also on Friday night’s episode, Coleen Rooney opened up about her miscarriages and the impact they had her on her husband, former Manchester United striker Wayne.
