Third elimination takes place

Last night (Monday, May 2), the celebrities learned that they have to vote one campmate off the show. They had to vote to eliminate a star from the show via a secret ballot.

Speaking of the voting, Helen Flanagan said: “It makes you feel like [bleep].”

“I’m not happy about my decision. I just felt I had to vote for someone,” Toff then said. She then said it was the hardest thing she’s done and was “horrendous”.

“This is not a holiday, it’s a competition and there has to be one Legend, one winner,” Amir Khan said.

Paul Burrell then admitted to feeling emotional, saying that he couldn’t stop “leaking”

The following morning, Ant and Dece entered the camp to reveal who’s been voted off the show by their fellow campmates.
