Sue Cleaver leaves I'm A Celebrity as she celebrates getting boot from jungle

The jungle axe has fallen again, this time on a delighted Sue Cleaver, as she became the third star to get the boot from the new series.

There was visible upset in camp on Sunday when Scarlette Douglas became the second star to get her marching orders from the public, with the Place in the Sun host also gutted at the result, as she told hosts Ant and Dec: "I'm absolutely gutted. I'm not even going to lie about it. I know some people wanted to leave but I'm not ready to go yet."

After getting it spot on with Charlene White, who was the first evictee of this year's I'm A Celebrity on Friday, and tipping Scarlette for an early exit, bookies earmarked Sue and Babtunde Aleshe as the two in danger of leaving in Monday's third elimination. It was once again down to Ant and Dec to break the bad news as the remaining stars gathered round the camp fire.

As the numbers were whittled down to two, Coronation Street star Sue was left alongside Boy George, before the actress well known for playing Eileen Grimshaw, cheered as Ant and Dec revealed it was her who was going home.

There hasn't been such a wildly positive reaction to going in the history of I'm A Celebrity, with Ant and Dec remarking on how happy she seemed at the outcome, before she practically skipped into the studio to join her for her exit interview.

Just as Sue herself was delighted by the result, so were plenty of viewers on Twitter, with one reacting: "Good riddance. Another nasty person gone," with another tweeting: "If sue moans that much when she’s enjoying something then what must she be like when she’s not ! Anyway thank god she’s finally gone."

There was also plenty of love for Sue though, with another backing her by writing: "Say what you want about Sue, but her highlights are amazing lmao I love this woman."
