I'm A Celebrity axes third contestant as Matt Hancock survives another vote-off

I'm A Celebrity star Sue Cleaver has become the latest campmate to be voted out of the jungle, in the third public vote exit of the series.

The Coronation Street star confessed she'd "had enough" and it was her time to leave, as she screamed with excitement when her name was called.

Disgraced Tory MP Matt Hancock survived another axing, despite many believing he would be first to go just weeks ago.

Instead, it was his co-star Sue who left the show on Monday night, before joining hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly for their exit interview.

As the news came in, there were no tears as Sue said her goodbyes before racing out of the camp.

Asked if it was her time to go, she told the hosts: "Yeah absolutely, I had enough."

She added: "It's the anxiety, the not knowing, having no control over your life and that’s weird, so weird."

But Sue did insist she had "the ride of her life" while in the jungle, and that she would remember it forever.

Sue said: "I loved being in there, that camp, I loved it I really did," adding: "I've loved all of that."

She also said: "I have had the ride of my life, I really have. I will never forget it and I am so glad it ended there."

Sue went on to praise Mike Tindall as a "lovely man", but said she wanted Jill Scott to win.

She explained: "I'm going for the girl, I'm going for Jill. She’s an absolute trooper, a beautiful human being. She's strong and sassy."

It comes after Scarlette Douglas broke down in tears, as she was second to be booted out of the jungle on Sunday night.

As she joined hosts Ant and Dec, she admitted she was gutted to be leaving so soon, as others were keen to go.

She explained she wanted to keep herself busy as she was a "team player" and was desperate to get "stuck in".

There was no exit on Saturday night, while Friday's episode saw the first elimination of the series with Charlene White being first to go.

Following her exit, Charlene explained how Hancock going into the jungle ruined it for her - as she was always concerned about her impartiality as a journalist as that is her primary job.

She told The Mirror and other press: "Being there and having a laugh and having a joke – that kind of finished when Matt came. Because I have interviewed enough of the families who have lost loved ones during the pandemic.

"I am one of those. As soon as he walked in I thought ‘I’m going to be walking a tightrope here.'

"If I don’t think about them and ask the questions they want to know regarding his reasoning for going into the jungle when we are in the middle of the inquiry into the reaction after the pandemic... then I’m not doing my job.

"It went from me just having a laugh to constantly worrying... whether I would still be taken seriously when it comes to dealing with politicians."

Meanwhile, Olivia Attwood was the first 2022 campmate to leave the show just days into it launching, after she was forced to withdraw.

The Love Island star was left "gutted" when she learned she could not return to the camp, after being removed due to concerning results from a health test in camp.

After being taken to A&E, Olivia was advised she would not be able to return with more tests needing to be done, while she has since confirmed she is fine and healthy.

I'm A Celebrity airs every night at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
