Jane Moore was the first to leave the jungle in following the public vote on Friday night. The panellist, 62, delivered a message just minutes after her exit.
Addressing the nation, the columnist urged voters to support two campmates who she believes deserve to win the show.
She began: “My first pick to be crowned… I would go with either Melvin or Coleen because they are the silent, hard workers.
“There are a lot of people in there that do a lot of hard work without any fanfare. And of course, that’s not what gets noticed on television. And it doesn’t get voted for.”
Jane added: “So I say, British public… stand up for the hard workers.”

Her comments come after she delivered a brutal swipe during her exit interview with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
In her exit interview, she took the opportunity to open up about her time in the jungle while chatting to Ant and Dec, hinting that some camp mates are “showmen.”
The on-screen star made it no secret she was not a fan of being given the task of washing up in camp.
She said: “I had three jobs before then, I worked like a dog and then they gave me the washing up so I wasn’t pleased about that. I did a lot down there but hard work doesn’t pay off as I’m the first one out, people don’t notice hard work.
“The more people get voted off, it will get apparent who isn’t doing that much. I would like to see the quiet hard workers win, there’s a lot of showmen in there. I want Coleen [Rooney] or Melvin [Odoom] to win, they’re not flamboyant.
Speaking on the ITV spin-off show, Unpacked, Jane admitted she was “disappointed” to be the first to leave camp.
Jane told host Sam Thompson: “I would have liked to have been second or third, I knew I wasn’t going to make it the whole way. But I can’t say that anyone deserved to be out before me. My camp bestie was Danny.
“We discussed at one point that maybe we were all getting on too well because viewers like it when there’s drama, but we couldn’t do it.
“I think you need to ask Melvin if Dean was pulling his weight. There are the show people in the camp, that are providing the entertainment, maybe people that are providing good TV. There are hard workers that allow them to be flamboyant.”
