I'm a Celebrity's Chris Moyles hits out at Matt Hancock after getting kicked off

I'm a Celebrity kicked off another campmate on Thursday night as fans chose to give Chris Moyles the boot.

The 48-year-old was disappointed about the news as he'd hoped to go all the way even after a rocky few days. There are now just five contestants left on the programme, including Matt Hancock.

Upon his exit, the radio star expressed his shock that the disgraced Tory had outlasted him, telling Ant and Dec : "I'm gutted Matt Hancock is more popular than me. What is going on?"

Chris shared his "major issues" with Matt as a politician, but had "less issues" with the MP as a campmate, the Mirror reported.

He explained: "Why am I out and he’s still in? I really struggled with [his arrival] to be fair and then I s****ed him a bit. Matt Hancock I've got major issues with, but Matt... less issues."

Chris' exit comes just days before ITV's live finale on Sunday evening. It comes as the fifth elimination of the series aired on Wednesday night when comedian Babatunde Aleshe left the jungle for good.

As the result came in, Babatunde said his goodbyes, leaving six stars remaining on the 2022 series. The comedian then thanked his new friends for his time on the show and said it was "the best experience he had ever had".

Babatunde soon left the presenters laughing seconds into his exit interview, as he spilled a glass of champagne over himself.

He told Ant and Dec he wanted Owen Warner to win the show, calling the actor his "closest friend" in camp.

The comedian also revealed he was surprised how different it was doing the show to watching it as a viewer, telling the pair: "Living in it is a whole different experience."

Viewers were gutted to see him leave the show so close to the final, with many surprised by the result.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "How did Matt and Chris get more votes that Baba."

Another agreed: "How the f**k is Baba out yet Chris is still in ffs. Fuming."

A third fan said: "Baba gone. Nah that's it #ImACeleb will be a bore now," and a fourth viewer wrote: "Gutted Baba has gone!"

Prior to Babatunde leaving the jungle, the previous eliminations saw singer Boy George, Coronation Street actress Sue Cleaver, TV presenter Scarlette Douglas and Loose Women's Charlene White all axed from the series - while Love Island star Olivia Attwood was forced to withdraw just a day into the show.

I'm A Celebrity airs every night at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
