- I’m A Celebrity sees a shock double elimination, leaving only seven contestants in the jungle
- Celebrities faced emotional moments, including a tough Bushtucker Trial and visits from loved ones
- The series enters its final stretch with a dramatic twist and emotional farewells
I’m A Celebrity delivered one of its most emotional episodes of the series as two more campmates were voted out in a surprise double elimination, leaving just seven stars remaining in the race for the jungle crown.
Jack Osbourne was the first of the two, talking to Ant and Dec about his pivotal role in camp as the de facto chef after crossing the famous bridge.
He even revealed a secret he’d been keeping throughout the series, telling Ant and Dec he’s ‘terrified of spiders’ and joking that he ‘got away with it.’
Lisa Riley soon followed as the second contestant to go, laughing, ‘I’m free!’ to Ant and Dec as she crossed the bridge.

It was an eventful episode all around, though the day began with a noticeably quieter atmosphere as the reduced camp woke up to the reality of their shrinking numbers.
There was at least one small lift when the celebrities sat down to a rare breakfast treat after winning 12 eggs in the previous night’s challenge.
But spirits dipped again when Ant and Dec walked into camp to deliver the news that Martin had become the next celebrity to leave.
Tom admitted he was heartbroken, while Shona grew visibly emotional and later revealed that Martin reminded her of her dad, making his departure hit even harder.
The remaining campmates didn’t get long to process the loss before Ginge was sent off to face the latest Bushtucker Trial, Worst-Day Cake.
Inside the huge cake, though, things became swiftly less festive. Across six gruelling sections, he battled mud crabs, toads, monitor lizards, spiders, offal, rats and finally a swarm of biting green ants.
Even discovering ants in places no ant should ever be didn’t stop him, and he emerged triumphant with all six stars for camp.
The emotional rollercoaster continued when the celebrities were surprised with long-awaited visits from loved ones.
Tom was stunned as his mum Juliette appeared; Lisa rushed straight into the arms of her husband Al; Aitch lit up at the sight of his sisters Gracie and Hattie; Ginge broke down as he hugged his mum Michelle and sister Tasha; Shona ran to her sister Camilla, who cheerfully informed her she smelled like a foot; and Jack was left in tears as his wife Aree and daughter Maple waited for him in the clearing.
But the biggest moment came at the end of the episode when Ant and Dec gathered everyone once again to reveal that the public had been voting.
In a twist that caught camp by surprise, the pair confirmed that not one but two more celebrities would be leaving the jungle in a shock double elimination.
Lisa and Jack’s eliminations were then named live on air, marking another dramatic turning point as the series heads into its final stretch.
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! airs each night at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
