Tulisa Contostavlos waved goodbye to the jungle on Monday night's I'm A Celebrity 2024, becoming the third celeb to walk the bridge. Presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly broke the news of her exit, hot on the heels of Dean McCullough’s Sunday departure, and not long after the nation said ‘ta-ra’ to Loose Women panellist Jane Moore.
Emotions ran high on social media as fans admitted they were gutted to see anyone leave—tweets poured in like "Don't want anyone to go. This is a tough year, anyone that goes will be sad to see," while others echoed the sentiment with "I don't want anyone to leave."
Some even campaigned for an all-stayer camp: "I love that we all collectively agree, that we all do not want ANYONE to leave now... can't they all stay, this is the best camp."

And the love didn’t stop there as another fan chimed in with "Does someone leave tonight? ! I can't believe anyone leaving I love them all."
The edge-of-your-seat eliminations came after Ant and Dec announced Dean was the second star to leave the Aussie wilderness, caught in a nail-biting face-off against Irish boxing legend Barry McGuigan. Dean couldn’t contain his excitement upon hearing he'd been voted out, exclaiming: "I'm going home, I'm going home, I need my underwear, I'll see you later! I'm going home!" His post-eviction chat with the dynamic duo saw him buzzing: "Boys, it's absolutely nuts. I still can't believe I'm here.", reports the Mirror.
He also showed no sign of disappointment over his early finish, telling Ant and Dec: "Not at all, I have really soaked up this whole experience. All the trials."
The presenters cheekily quipped about Dean's double shout of "I'm A Celebrity, get me out of here! " to dodge trials, with Ant owning up that he was pretty tough on the radio legend. Dean hit back laughingly: "You were so harsh!" But, the duo defended their approach as 'tough love,' aiming to spur Dean to conquer tasks they reckoned were "do-able".
Just a few sunsets ago, Loose Women star Jane was ousted as the jungle's first evictee. Having braved the gruesome trials and survived on scanty rations of beans and rice, Jane's Aussie adventure ended this week.
Chatting with Ant and Dec post-exit, she described her jungle jaunt as "such a weird and magical experience". Querying if she had any early eviction blues, she was all smiles: "No more washing up - yes!" She didn’t mince her words, adding: "Hard work doesn't get rewarded."
Looking back, she detailed her jungle chores: collecting wood, lighting fires, and solo dunny duty while trailblazer Dean faced challenges. With three jobs on her plate, hard graft was her routine.
The washing-up gig, trekking thrice daily to the creek burdened with gear, didn’t thrill her at all. Candidly, she griped to fellow campmate Danny: "I collected the logs, I built the fire, I emptied the dunny, because my partner was Dean, who was on trials all the time. So I did it all on my own, put out the rubbish. I had three jobs. I worked like a dog, and then they gave me the washing up, which is a really tough job to go three times a day all the way to the bottom of the creek, lugging everything. I wasn't pleased about that, to be honest. I said to Danny when he walked out: 'don't give me cleaning'."
She further expressed her excitement to be free from household chores, stating: "I can't wait to get rid of the washing up," and adding: "I'm never washing up again, ever. Yeah, it's been hard work down there this year."
She also gave her opinion on who should win the show, choosing Melvin Odoom and Coleen Rooney. In her words: "I think Melvin is an absolute slogger. He's very quiet. He doesn't push himself forward. Colleen is another one. So they keep everything going. They're not flamboyant but they're solid."
