Two Stars Evicted from I’m A Celebrity Just Days Before Finale

In a surprising turn of events, two contestants were eliminated from I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! on December 5, just days ahead of the anticipated finale on December 7. Presenters Ant and Dec announced that actress Lisa Riley and television personality Jack Osbourne would be departing the Australian jungle immediately, following low viewer votes.

The news of their exit left fellow campmates visibly shocked and saddened, as both contestants had formed strong bonds during their 21 days in the wilderness. Until now, audiences watching on ITV had seen various celebrities, including Alex Scott, Eddie Kadi, and Vogue Williams, bid farewell to the jungle.

Reactions and Reflections from the Departed Stars

During their departure interview, both Riley and Osbourne reflected on their time in the camp. Jack Osbourne expressed gratitude for the connections he made, stating, “I enjoyed connecting with people. I said before coming out here that I don’t have a lot of people in England, so it is nice to come away with 11 new friends.” He elaborated on a light-hearted disagreement with fellow contestant Kelly Brook regarding camp cooking, noting his concerns about the challenges of preparing food over an open fire.

Lisa Riley shared her joy about the experience, describing it as her “basket of bliss, every single second of it.” She noted, “I’m not been lucky to be a mother in real life, so if I was considered the jungle mum, I feel like I’ve won already.”

Emotional Family Reunions Bring Joy

Earlier in the episode, emotions ran high as the contestants reunited with their loved ones in an emotional segment. Rapper Aitch was visibly moved when his sisters, Gracie and Hattie, visited him. Aitch rushed to embrace them, and Gracie exclaimed, “We’ve missed you so much!” Hattie humorously noted his less-than-fresh scent after weeks in the jungle, saying, “You don’t smell the best, I’m not gonna lie!”

Meanwhile, contestant Ginge also had a heartfelt reunion with his mother, Michelle, and sister, Tasha. His mother praised him for his performance in the trials, while Tasha added, “You’re funny to watch!” Amid the laughter and tears, Ginge lightheartedly probed for football scores, to which his mother admitted her ignorance, eliciting laughter from the group.

As the show moves closer to its finale, viewers can catch up on all the emotional moments and competition on ITVX. The unexpected double exit has added a layer of intrigue as the remaining contestants prepare for the final challenges.
