I'm A Celeb stars' touching tribute to Adele Roberts after sudden exit from show

The cast of this year's I'm A Celebrity have paid a sweet tribute to Adele Roberts as she was the first person to be booted off the show.

The radio DJ, 40, hugged her campmates and said "thank you" before heading out of camp yesterday.

Kate Garraway said: "I am absolutely going to miss you."

After Ant and Dec announced that Adele was to leave in a shock twist, Andy said: "That girl was brave…I'm gutted for her."

Reality TV star Caitlyn gushed: "We loved Adele and that was a shocker to me.

"It just shows you no-one is safe here. I didn't see that one coming, she's been such a rock star in here."

But supportive campmates made sure Adele left with her picture of Jane McDonald.

"I was flabbergasted, I think we are all a bit stunned, it made it all very real," Kate said.

After waving her off Roman said: "It's feeling really sombre. We weren't expecting that all."

And a shocked Jacqueline agreed: "She came in here with a reason and that was to prove herself and to learn so much and she did."

Roman then used the chalk to draw a heart on a tree with Adele's name under it in memory of the celeb favourite.

After the remaining 12 campmates woke up in tonight's episode, they chatted about the fact that one person will leave the jungle.

Andy announced: "Today is judgement day, I don't feel like I've done my time in here yet so I really don't want to go home I want to see it through to the end."

While Jacqueline agreed: "I'm not ready to leave, I'll get serious FOMO."
