Arlene Phillips was the first celebrity to be eliminated from I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! on Sunday night.
The public vote meant that the choreographer, 78, was sent packing after 13 days in the camp, leaving her emotional campmates at Gwrych Castle behind.
Ant and Dec asked Arlene how she felt about her exit. She was the longest celebrity to have taken part in the program’s history.

The classic question, “Who would you like to win?” was answered by DJ Naughty Boy (ex-Strictly Come Dancing judge).
Eliminations typically begin within 10 days, but this format has changed due to Richard Madeley’s abrupt departure. Storm Arwen temporarily took the series off-air.

Naughty Boy stated that it wasn’t an easy task but they got it done and it was a great experience. Sorry if anyone feels like the Trials have made them lose out on any other opportunities. This is the show. Life goes on. Your part in my life is important to me. We are grateful.

Dec reminded Dec that Dec had to spin twice before the round, and Matty responded: “That’s great, you have two chances to eat a penis.”
The second round was a struggle for the pair. They were covered with castle creatures as they tried to locate three jokers from a 300-card pack. The pair only managed to retrieve one.
Naughty Boy received two stars at Gross Vegas for his third installment. It was nicknamed Snake Eyes.
The Grot Machine is what the campmates faced last, where they were drenched in fish guts, offal and gunge as they tried to catch coveted stars. For this round they caught only one star.

Snoochie and Frankie were paired up while Simon and Naughty Boy were together and Danny returned to team up with Matty for the second instalment of the gruelling task.
The pairs were then shackled together in cauldrons, and they were given water while trying to put pieces on a rod.
It looks fishy! Contestants on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! They were given a lot of fishy water as they took on the Lair challenge.
They could then hook the key from its holder to the rod and untie their shackles once the rod was sufficiently long.
Simon stated to Naughty Boy that he was a snitch.
Snoochie screamed: ‘It stinks of fish – it’s just gone in my mouth!’
Eeek! Frankie and Snoochie were joined by Simon Gregson, Naughty Boy and Naughty Boy. Danny Miller returned with Matty Lee to complete the second installment of this grueling task.
Danny later said of his partner: ‘Matty was amazing at it – he was good at screwing.’
Her later statement was: “When I open my mouth to scream, an actual fishgut went into my mouth.”
Danny and Matty were the first to escape. Danny exclaimed: “Gold again, for this boy!”
Frankie, Snoochie and Snoochie came in second place and broke the bell as they tried to ring it. Simon and Naughty Boys finished last.

He said, “It’s weird how I just had a better nights sleep sleeping next to you.” It makes me feel more secure.
In a funny moment, Danny Miller (30) admitted that he wants to wed David Ginola (54).
Danny laughed and said, “If David Ginola wanted me to marry him. I’m sorry Steph. But the wedding venue is booked.” That would also make for a fantastic wedding. Think of all the guests that might attend. Yeah, it’s tempting.’
Danny confessed his love to David while the ex-player at Newcastle United was still washing up with no top.
Simon sings the James Bond theme.
The group was then entertained by The Full Monty’s hilarious version performed by the men.

Temperature is rising
Funny: Danny stated: “If David Ginola asks me to marry him. I’m sorry Steph. But the wedding venue is booked!”
Haha: The men then treated the group to their own hilarious rendition of The Full Monty, which had the camp in stitches
A poignant moment saw Snoochie open about her facial birthmark and she revealed she was worried people would think she was a ‘catfish’ after covering it up for social media photos for so long.
When you appear to be something different online than what you actually are, you’re called a catfish.
Naughty Boy and Frankie Bridge spoke to the 29-year-old radio personality. It’s not me.
Insecurity: Snoochie was vulnerable to sharing her facial birthmark in a poignant moment
Speaking out: She revealed her concern that people will think she’s a catfish after she has been hiding it for too long in social media posts.
It was sad: Her mother said that she thought people would think she’s a catfish. It’s not me!
“Insta” is where you can show off your best angles. I don’t edit my face, but obviously I’ll put like… if I’ve got spots I hide it, with my birthmark I cover it with make-up.’
Snoochie’s right eye is where her birthmark is.
Snoochie confessed: ‘I muted [the word]My Instagram has catfish. What are some places you can muffle words? I am proud to have revealed my birthmark, and all the stuff it contains for the first times.
Frankie spoke then in the Telegraph, saying that Snoochie believed her birthmark to be an imperfection. “I don’t believe she could have been further off the truth.
