Stacey Solomon has issued an emotional response as Joe Swash exited I'm A Celebrity.
The former EastEnders star's bid to be crowned the first ever Legend came to an end after he was defeated in a survival trial by Phil Tufnell. Joe was crowned King of the Jungle in 2008 and he opened up on how much the Jungle meant to him as it was through the show that he met Stacey.
He said: "I don't know what my life would be or where I would be without it. I'd just be that dude who was on EastEnders years ago, now I'm Stacey Solomon's husband."

Stacey took to Instagram and revealed she was catching up on I'm A Celebrity. She shared a clip of Joe, alongside a tearful emoji: "Catching up on the jungle from last night. To the moon and back Joe Swash always."
I'm A Celebrity South Africa was filmed last year and Joe admitted he found the jungle more stressful this time as he was away from his two young children, Rex and Rose.
He said: "I missed my family so much. We had our phones taken away and I’ve never not had communication with them before. My kids are young and I knew they wouldn’t really understand where I was and would be upset.
"It really played on me. And being in the camp, it always brings up memories for me of Stacey. If it wasn’t for the show, I would never have my family. My family were always in the front of my mind. I found that really difficult. A lot harder than I thought I would. But again I was really lucky as the people in camp kept my spirits high."
Fans following the show on Twitter were gutted when Joe left last night as he established himself as a fan favourite since he entered alongside Dean Gaffney.
David said: "So sad Joe is leaving"
Laura commented: "No not Joe swash"
Abi posted: "That's it. I don't want to watch it now. Toff and now Jo"
Julie tweeted: "Gutted Joe has gone - him and Dean are holding this show"
Lara added: that’s all my favourites gone. I absolutely hate this new system. Joe is an absolute sweetheart I am devastated to see him leave so early. best person left in there"
