I'm A Celebrity's Mike Tindall eighth to leave - as Matt Hancock makes final

I'm A Celebrity star Mike Tindall has left the jungle, and finished the 2022 series in fourth place - while disgraced Tory MP Matt Hancock survived another day.

Mike just narrowly missed out on the final, leaving Hancock, Owen Warner and Jill Scott battling it out for the crown during Sunday night's live show.

Hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly entered camp in the latest episode to reveal who was leaving, and who had made it as a finalist.

As the news came in, axed campmate Mike said his goodbyes - as the other three reacted to the news they had made it all the way until the end.

The star said there were "a lot of laughs" in camp, which he said got everyone through as he spoke to Ant and Dec.

Mike said he was "good" as he was asked how he felt about leaving so close to the end - while there was one moment he "almost had a wobble".

He explained: "The only time I nearly had a wobble was when we did the nighttime challenge but then Sean had a wobble... we got Sean through it which got me through it."

Asked about how well he did in the trials and challenges, Mike said he mentally prepared himself before he entered the jungle.

He explained: "[You have to] get yourself ready. You're gonna have that pain... don't carry it," saying he prepared himself for his "worst" moments.

Mike added: "You know that’s gonna happen so don't let it affect you and get on with it."

The hosts didn't quiz Mike about Hancock, while the rugby star has made his thoughts known about the disgraced MP over the series.

Ant and Dec did reveal Mike's wife Zara Tindall was waiting for him at the end of the famous bridge, and sure enough she joined him in the closing moments of the show.

The pair hugged out as she asked him how he was, with Mike telling her he'd missed her.

Meanwhile, the show has been hit with backlash from the start over the signing of Hancock on the line-up.

While he initially found himself being voted to do every trial, this soon stopped - while expectations of him leaving first were not met.

Instead, Hancock has survived all of the previous vote-offs, with other campmates leaving the show instead.

First to go was Loose Women and ITV News star Charlene White, with TV presenter Scarlette Douglas second to leave.

Coronation Street actress Sue Cleaver was next to go, sparking a sexism row over the vote, while the fourth exit of the series saw campmates wave goodbye to singer Boy George.

Fifth to exit was comedian Babatunde Aleshe, followed by radio star Chris Moyles and then comedian Seann Walsh, who entered with Hancock as a late arrival, was seen leaving on Friday night.

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'s live final airs on Sunday night at 9PM on ITV and ITVX.
