I’m A Celeb’s Frankie Dettori became the first housemate to leave the series in 2023 after receiving the fewest viewer votes on Sunday.
Hosts Ant and Dec entered the camp and left the celebs in suspense before announcing that Frankie, 52, and Nella Rose, 26, were both in the final two.
After his name was announced, the jockey cheered and appeared delighted to be heading home on a luxury holiday two weeks after joining the camp as a late arrival.
After his farewell, the racing legend sat down for his farewell interview and sipped champagne, admitting he was “disappointed” to be the first to be left off the show.
He told the hosts that despite the early exit, he was proud to have overcome his fears of enclosed spaces during some of the grueling Bushtucker Trials.

After his name was announced, the 53-year-old jockey cheered and appeared delighted to be heading home on the luxury holiday two weeks after entering the camp as a late arrival (pictured with wife Catherine).
And further: “I’ve been dieting for thirty years, but it’s a completely different dimension in the heat and fatigue of the jungle.”
“It was a challenge, honestly, I’m disappointed I was the first one out but glad I faced my fears of snakes and enclosed spaces.”
Frankie then concluded that the “larger than life” Sam Thompson would eventually emerge as the series’ champion.
The jockey then made his way along the infamous bridge, where he was greeted by his wife Catherine and fireworks.
After his stint in the jungle, Frabkie, whose impressive career has spanned 35 years, will move into the apartment he bought in California to begin a racing career in the US with his wife by his side.
Nella, who was also at the bottom, faced controversy during her time in the jungle, with Ofcom receiving 2,000 complaints about her arguments with Nigel Farage and Fred Sirieix
At the beginning of the episode, Nella managed to win nine stars out of ten in a terrible process.
The YouTube star was terrified when she found out she had to face the “Fright at the Museum” trial.

Tony Bellew reassured her and said: “You’re stronger than you think, Nella. ‘You’re so strong.’
The housemates gathered around the influencer to meditate together, with Nella instructing them: “Everyone just says ‘Hmmm’ over and over again. We close our eyes.”
She then chanted: “Nothing can happen to me in there, hmmmmmmm,” before adding: “Why does that help?” So strange.”
When she arrived at the Glade, host Ant asked Nella why she thought she had been chosen for the trial.
Nella replied, “I couldn’t tell you.” I really don’t know. Either I’m fine or I’m bad. But at this point it is what it is.
“The pressure is on, but I’m going to do my best and do my best not to panic. “I’m keeping my fingers crossed, yeah.”
Declan Donnelly then explained: “This is horror in the museum.” You have to look for stars hidden in the exhibits in the Jungle Museum.
“When you find a star, put it in your star bag.” Only stars that are in your star bag at the end of the test count.

The housemates all waved goodbye as Frankie left the jungle
“However, this museum hasn’t been open for years, so it’s pretty dark there. It’s pitch black, that’s what I’m trying to say. You have to look around and try to feel for the stars. “It only takes 10 minutes to find 10 stars.”
Nella bravely entered the dark room and said loudly to herself to keep herself calm, “Ok, this is going to be hard!”
As she reached into the boxes, she was simultaneously showered by little animals and said: “Don’t panic, Nells, don’t panic!” It’s okay, Nella, you’ve been through worse, you’ve been through worse!’
Nella continued to encourage herself as she put stars in her bag and said, “You’re good Nella, you’re doing great!”
Ant chimed in and said: “You’re doing really well Nella, well done.”
Nella accidentally knocked over several vases, prompting Ant and Dec to joke that she was destroying “priceless artefacts”, quipping: “She makes me jump!”

Nella finished with nine stars out of ten and said: “Guys, I’m super proud of myself. “I usually tend to run away when I’m scared. This time I persevered and we are allowed to eat.
Nella shouted: “We’re hungry and we’re doing this for Tony Bellew because he’s the best.”
However, at the last star she had to crawl into a closed tunnel, to which Nella said, “Nope, screw it.” Cramped spaces in the dark. No, brother, this is a limited space. “It’s pitch black in here and this is a confined space, brother.”
Ant encouraged: “Nella, I don’t think anyone has a full house yet, imagine if it was you!” You might as well try,” Dec added: “One minute, there’s a star in there.” You can do it it, Nella!’
Nella tried to climb in but screamed, jumped out and said, ‘I know what’s in there!’ I felt a spider web!’
She decided to call it quits and Ant and Dec were livid when she announced: “We’re still getting kangaroo shit!”
