I'm A Celebrity sees ninth star leave the jungle as three finalists revealed
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly revealed the ninth celebrity to leave camp this evening ahead of this year's all-important final. After lasting three weeks in camp, Oti Mabuse was voted out by ITV viewers on Saturday, December 7.
Coleen Rooney, Danny Jones and Rev Richard Coles have been announced as this year’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! finalists after the Strictly Come Dancing star was voted off the show. Hugging her campmates as Oti left the jungle, Coleen said: "This is surreal." Speaking to Ant and Dec about her Bushtucker Trials in her eviction interview, Oti said: "I expected to be nervous the whole time but when you're in there... my goal became to focus and get the job done," You tell yourself 'calm down, it's not about - you feed the children'!"
Quizzed about her favourite moment from her time in camp, she gushed: "Everything. The conversations, getting to know new people, opening up ... you come out as a stronger different person." Oti tipped Danny to be crowned King of the Jungle as her interview with Ant and Dec drew to a close.

The decision left fans fuming online, with some on X, calling out the decision of the public vote. "I demand a recount Oti was robbed of the final. #ImACeleb," one fan fumed online as hosts Ant and Dec revealed Oti was the ninth person to be voted off.
"The British public failed oti, gk, maura & tulisa this season #ImACeleb," another fumed, as a third added: "Oti was ROBBED. She is my queen of the jungle!! #ImACeleb." Oti's departure comes a day after Coronation Street Star Alan Halsall and YouTuber GK Barry were sent home in a double elimination.
In an fun-filled episode of I'm a Celebrity, the final four donned their superhero capes for the legendary Celebrity Cyclone challenge. Amid the excitement, Oti encouraged Danny with a chant, saying: "Break the internet Danny Jones, let’s go," as he confidently sported tiny purple shorts.
Danny couldn't resist commenting on his bold outfit choice, saying: "I feel weirdly powerful in purple, and I know the boys at home, the McFly boys will be laughing their heads off. Hot pants in a cape, rock and roll!"
The celebrities didn't hold back in jesting with one another, bestowing superhero monikers left, right, and centre before diving headlong into the thrilling Celebrity Cyclone. With spirits high, they joined hands and rallied with a loud cheer: "All for one, and one for all!"
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX.
