I’m A Celebrity viewers divided as Ian Wright is voted out

Some people weren't happy to see him go

Ian Wright has become the latest celebrity to leave the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

The former footballer and Caitlyn Jenner were in the bottom two and hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly revealed Ian would be heading home.

Ian said: “I feel it’s time. It’s becoming more and more difficult trying to focus on being more positive.”

He added: “I found towards the end, I wasn’t positive near the end. It’s been unbelievable. The mental side of me, I have a lot of work to do on it.”

Speaking about being “frustrated” in the jungle and during trials, Ian said: “It comes back down to the team and the fact that you just want to win stars for them.”

Viewers shared their thoughts on the elimination on Twitter.

Some were glad to see him go.

However, others saw a different side to him on tonight’s show and wished he had stayed longer.

Many praised him for recognising the moments he got angry in camp and vowing to work on himself.

Last night’s episode saw James Haskell leave the jungle.

But some viewers predicted the programme would be “boring” now that James is gone.

James said in a post on Instagram on Wednesday: “Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me! Sadly I didn’t make the cut but I loved every second of my @imacelebrity experience!

“The most important thing to me is the opinion and respect of my fellow camp mates, with whom I have lived for the last 17 days. I was truly touched and humbled by their reactions this morning in camp.”

“Also cannot thank @andrewismaxwell, @adeleroberts and @cliffparisi enough for their amazingly kind and generous words to me today,” he added.

“Here’s to another slice  and [beer], and on to the next adventure.”
