ITV I’m A Celebrity fans claim ‘I wasn’t expecting that!’ as Oti Mabuse is booted from the jungle: ‘Are you kidding?’
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! viewers were left in shock after Ant and Dec announced that Oti Mabuse had been voted out of the jungle.
Coleen Rooney, Danny Jones and Reverend Richard Cole will now battle it out in three separate Bush Tucker trials for the chance to be crowned King or Queen of the jungle.
Tonight, the Strictly star left the jungle after three weeks away from her husband and daughter, being faced with Bush Tucker trials and being the only campmate alongside Melvin Odoom to bring back 12 stars.
As she joined McPartlin and Donnelly, she looked back at her best bits as she enjoyed a glass of fizzy – but not before checking it was fermented.
Reflecting on her time, she told the Geordie hosts: “I expected to be nervous the whole time. But when you’re in there it is so important to get the job done! The conversations, getting to know everyone, opening up.
“We cried a lot. Jane [Moore] got us started and we never stopped. I didn’t know I was a crier, but now I know!”
When asked how she managed to keep her positive energy, she revealed: “I was trying. There were one or two days where I was crying nonstop but I will never get to do this experience again. From the moment you pushed me out of that helicopter, I have been grateful to be here.
“You wake up and look at the trees and you appreciate everything. Everything has been taken away but you are still happy.”
McPartlin asked what Mabuse had learnt about herself from her time in the jungle, leaving her to reply: “I have learnt to be happy with who I am and that group let me be all different versions. they allowed me to be who I am.”
Revealing who she wanted to win, she simply expressed: “Oh my god, I love them all so much! Danny…”
Whilst Mabuse was grateful to be out of the jungle, got and have a hot show and be reunited with her husband and young daughter, fans of the show were left stunned that she didn’t make it to the final three.
Taking to their X accounts, one noted: “I’m f***ing fuming Oti’s going!!!”
A second penned: “Oti is multi-woman. Kind, positive, caring and fun. Just a beautiful person. Gutted she isn’t in the final. Deserved to be there.”
“Now that Oti has gone if Danny doesn’t win then it’s been a waste of a season for me,” another expressed before a fourth added: “No way!!! I really thought Oti would be in the final!!! Only 1 episode left but I’m gonna miss her.”
Someone else said: “Really could listen to Oti all night. So sad she’s not in the final. Very proud of you Oti regardless.”
Another penned: “I’m gonna be totally honest here.. Yes, Coleen was a machine at times but for me, Oti outshone her.”
