Former Olympic sprinter Linford Christie was adjusting to living out of the Australian jungle today after being the latest contestant to be voted off I'm A Celebrity. Get Me Out of Here.
Christie sprung to his feet and jumped with joy, before hugging and kissing Ant and Dec as it was announced he had come behind in the public vote on last night's show.
"I'm going home!" he shouted as comedian Dom Joly looked on dejectedly after learning he was staying in the jungle.
Speaking after going the camp, Christie said he felt under pressure to be hard on behalf of the group.
He said: "They saw me as a leader, a motivator, the big strong guy. I had to try to be brave.
"There were things that frightened me but I had to simply try and cover it and get on."
He said the large Pacific rains that had washed over the tent in the final few years had been the final straw.
"I've had enough. I had enough days ago, seriously," he said.
He revealed that he would like former X Factor contestant Stacey Solomon to win, saying: "Stacey's the loveliest person. When I was down I could ever go to Stacey and she would cheer me up.
"She can't see the bad in anyone and she deserves to win."
Former Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder also open up to his campmates during yesterday's show, speaking about his troubled childhood.
The ex-chart star, who has been riding on a high since nemesis Gillian McKeith was booted out of the jungle, said he exploited to "enjoy getting chased. stealing and vandalism".
The old hell-raiser, 48, claimed: "On our industrial estate we had a Schweppes and a Bulmers and by the age of 12 I'd screwed the lot of 'em. I robbed them all. I sold the liquor to an ice cream man."
He added: "Once someone broke into our junior school, chopped the heads off the hamster and guinea pigs, shat all over the place, smashed the set up and wrote Shaun Ryder on the blackboard. They spelled me name wrong, of course.
"Before I was 10, three kids grabbed control of me and held me down while one booted the hell out of me."
Ryder, who was known for his drug binges, said of McKeith being voted out of the show: "It was howling to say goodby to Gillian, absolutely great. I view the world made the correct decision. The world are very intelligent, wise."
Dom Joly and Jenny Eclair also revealed they were desperate to resign the jungle.
The pair, who entered the jungle after their fellow campmates, said they were bored with camp conversation and life.
Eclair, 50, confided: "I've felt fine, weepy, mad, fine, weepy, mad today and I'm not certain I can go through another day. It's like time has stood still like groundhog day."
Joly, 43, agreed, saying: "I've had it with this eternal cycle of conversation, I want to speak to somebody else, if you weren't here I would have definitely walked."
He added: "I could very often do with Kayla (Collins) going. She's really annoying me for no cause at all. It's all not her fault, it's mine."
The comedian only won three out of a possible seven meals when he competed in a Wild Garden Centre trial - attempting to feel the stars that were concealed among a greenhouse, water pots and a giant dung heap. He muttered: "This is it, the last moment in my television career."
Eclair had to get into a foul-smelling pool with Collins for the celebrity chest task.
But she refused to bear her swimwear, saying: "I'm not taking my shorts off when I'm standing adjacent to a 22- or 23-year-old glamour model, I'm not mad."
The camp won salt and spices after correctly identifying which of their campmates made several statements.
