Loose Women star Jane Moore has become the first star to be eliminated from this year’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
After two full intense weeks in the Austrailian jungle, it was the end of the road for Jane, 62, who received the fewest votes in the first public elimination.
Leaving her fellow campmates in the Aussie camp, Jane appeared disappointed as she said: “Hard work doesn’t get rewarded.”
Walking over the bridge to meet presenters Ant and Dec for the first-ever exit interview of the series, Jane was later quizzed on her experience in the jungle.
When asked if she was disappointed being the first to leave, Jane yelled out: “No more washing up! Yes!”

Fans also shared their thoughts on her exit, one viewer said: “Jane first out – I think the Ageist/Sexist row from the other night rubbed people the wrong way.”
Elsewhere on the show, the campmates faced a new twist as Ant and Dec announced they could decide amongst themselves who would take on the day’s Trial, aptly named ‘Tanks of Torture’.
With Oti Mabuse and Barry eager to step up to the challenge, Melvin, yet to face a Trial, offered to take Barry’s place, an offer quickly accepted with a handshake.
As the brave duo Oti and Melvin marched to their grim task, fellow campmates showed their support, while Barry quipped: “Great! I’m going to bed.”
Upon reaching the Trial site, Ant and Dec unveiled the harrowing details of the ‘Tanks of Torture’. Stuck in giant tanks, Oti and Melvin had to pass stars between them while contending not only with water steadily filling their tanks but also the company of mud crabs, eels, crocodiles, and water dragons.
Meanwhile, spiders and snakes filled their head bubbles during the 12-minute quest to release all 12 stars.
Devising a strategy to withstand the creepy crawlies, Melvin shut his eyes and began to hum while Oti couldn’t help but let out a squeal. As the clock was ticking down, they had to maintain their speed in order to collect all the stars in time.
With the pressure mounting and only 5 seconds remaining, Oti and Melvin managed to secure a perfect score of 12 stars for the camp.
When her head bubble was finally removed, Oti let out a scream, reacting to the intense Trial. Elated by their success, she embraced Ant and Dec, as Melvin celebrated with high fives.

Full of congratulations, Ant announced: “You can now call yourselves the new king and queen of the Bushtucker Trial!”
Back at camp, an elated Oti and Melvin were bursting to share their victory.
The entire camp erupted into celebration, jumping and embracing them joyfully. Reflecting on their win, Melvin commented: “Coming back to camp and saying that we got 12 stars felt like winning the World Cup and I don’t even like football! “.
And Tulisa couldn’t resist making a quip, suggesting: “Vorderman’s gonna be so proud!”
