Comedian Seann Walsh First Voted Out of Jungle Camp
17 Apr
Summary
- Seann Walsh, comedian, was the first celebrity eliminated from the camp.
- Harry Redknapp chose Seann Walsh to leave after losing a trial.
- Walsh wasn't surprised, citing strong fellow contestants as reasons.
Comedian Seann Walsh has become the first celebrity to be eliminated from "I'm a Celebrity... South Africa." The departure occurred during Thursday night's episode following a surprise twist initiated by hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
This twist required one of the two 'kings of the jungle' to select a fellow campmate for elimination. Harry Redknapp, who won the regular "I'm a Celebrity" in 2018, made the difficult choice to send Walsh home after losing a challenging eating trial.
Walsh, 40, expressed that he was not surprised by Redknapp's decision, noting that he was aware of the formidable competition he faced in the camp. He described his time in the camp as an "absolute hellhole" due to its challenging conditions.
Fans of the show voiced their strong disapproval of the elimination twist, with many on social media describing it as "brutal" and "unfair" that Redknapp was tasked with making such a personal choice. Some viewers had hoped that David Haye might be chosen for elimination.
