The ninth contestant has been voted out of the I’m A Celebrity 2019 jungle – who left tonight?
ITV’s latest series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here continued this evening (Saturday, December 9) with its ninth elimination – the last one before the big final.
The top four celebs nervously awaited the result of the public vote, hoping they wouldn’t fall at the last hurdle.
Eventually, it was Kate Garraway who was voted off I’m A Celebrity tonight.
Her exit leaves Andy Whyment, Jacqueline Jossa and Roman Kemp as the finalists.
Ant and Dec cheekily told everyone it ‘might be them’, but Kate seemed happy to be out, reacting: “Fair enough!”
Joining the presenters in the studio, she said: “I feel amazing, I can’t believe I got this far, honestly.
“Every single day I was flabbergasted, I kept on thinking you got my name wrong!”
Calling her jungle experience “amazing”, the Good Morning Britain presenter – one of this year’s most squeamish campmates – spoke fondly of the terrifying Bushtucker Trials.
“Every time you were completely terrified and facing your fears, straight afterwards there was that euphoria that you’d done it,” she explained.
“Everyone was so pleased that you’d done it, there was so much love in the camp.”
Ant pointed out that producers had wanted Kate for a few years now, and asked why she finally agreed to take part.
“I felt it was now or never. The kids were just at the right age,” she said. “I never thought it was going to be this hard though.”
While noting that the finalists have “all been extraordinary”, she backed Jacqueline to win, because the actress has “found it very hard and come through”.
Tonight’s episode also saw the campmates compete in the legendary Celebrity Cyclone Bushtucker Trial.
Roman performed best in the fan-favourite challenge, withstanding a torrent of water that sent everyone else flying backwards.
The others managed to get back to their markers just in time, winning all four meals on offer.
There’s now less than 24 hours to go before viewers crown their new King or Queen of the Jungle.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2019 airs its grand final tomorrow night at 9.00pm on ITV.
Spin-off Extra Camp immediately follows the main show on ITV2.
