I'm A Celeb: South Africa fans gutted as 'favourite' is eliminated
The live final takes place on Friday 24th April
Last updated 8 hours ago
With the I'm A Celeb: South Africa live final taking place in London tonight (24th April), this year's final five camp mates Craig Charles, Sir Mo Farah, Scarlett Moffatt, Adam Thomas and Harry Redknapp spent their last day in camp during Thursday night's (23rd April) episode.
The episode started off emotionally as all five camp mates received messages from their loved ones, before the epic Celebrity Cyclone graced our screens.
However, the mood quickly changed later in the episode, as Craig, Mo, Scarlett, Adam and Harry took part in the latest Bushtucker Trial.
The trial involved the celebs being asked to count coloured balls as they moved through a tube, whilst being hit with a tonne of the usual I'm A Celeb critters. Ant and Dec then asked each celebrity how any blue balls had appeared, with the camp mate furthest out facing eviction.
Unfortunately for Scarlett, she was the celeb who missed out, meaning it will be an all-male final.
After seeing her elimination, fans of the show were quick to express their disappointment, with many calling her their winner.
One wrote: 'She so deserved to be in the final she wasn’t phased by anything and just got on with it. An absolute inspiration to all women & I can imagine her kids will grow up ever so proud of their mama ❤️'. (sic)
Another added: 'She was my winner! Absolutely legend and a sweetheart ❤️', with a third writing: '😢😢😢😢 scarlett you epitomise all that is beautiful about kind empathetic mamas. You were amazing and my winner'. (sic)
Somebody else commented: 'So gutted Scarlet deserved to win 😢. Scarlet you have been an absolute Legend. 🥰🥰🥰xx'.
Another upset fan gushed: 'Gutted. Wanted her to win. Not to be mean but hope Harry doesn’t win as he doesn’t seem to have done much or contributed anything in the camp'. (sic)
Speaking after her elimination, Scarlett said: "I’m gutted that it’s four blokes left. I wanted to do it for the girls! I’ll let them enjoy their football chat around the table."
Revealing she enjoyed it more this time round, the former Gogglebox star added: "Last time I felt like a bit of an imposter. I was only 25, I didn’t really know where my place was or who I was as a person. I enjoyed it, but a lot of the time I felt overwhelmed. Whereas this time around, I know who I am so I just enjoyed it and went in there less intimidated."
And it sounds like Scarlett has already chosen her winner, saying: "Sir Mo. Genuinely, even if I’d got into the final, I’d have said to people, 'If you were thinking of voting for me, you should vote for Mo'. Nobody deserves it as much as him. I really do hope he wins!"
