Keeling and Halsall were then voted off the show, leaving the four semi-finalists who are set to take on the Cyclone challenge during Saturday night’s show.
During his exit interview Coronation Street star Halsall, 42, said the hardest parts of the show were missing his daughter and boredom.
“That’s why I play practical jokes on people to entertain myself at times.”
Keeling, 25, told hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: “I never want to come back here but I just feel so much more comfortable, just in myself, being me.”
“I feel like I found myself in Thailand”, she joked, comparing her time in the Australian jungle to coming-of-age gap year adventures.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues on Saturday at 9.30pm on ITV.
