I'm A Celeb star quits days before final as contestants sob in campsite chaos

One All Star has left the South Africa campsite, leaving their co-stars scrambled

I'm A Celebrity has been thrown into complete chaos as one campmate announces they are leaving the show on their own terms. The contestants are left in disbelief as the TV star explains the reason behind their decision.

The incident unfolds at the start of the day when an emotional campmate gathers everyone together to say: "I've just got something to tell you all. I didn't feel very well this morning... and the medics have advised I can't return to camp. I've got to go home."

With teary eyes, they add: "I don't want to go. I'm absolutely gutted. I wanted to finish." The remaining campmates are seen hugging the star before they make their exit, which left everyone in shock.

The identity of the departing celeb has not been revealed to Daily Star readers so that viewers can watch the drama unfold on ITV tonight.

The unexpected exit leaves eight contestants competing in Friday's live final. They will participate the Rancid Run trial, which was previewed on Monday night's show as they compete against each other in pairs, reports the Mirror. Further evictions will be made throughout the week, whittling down the number to four celebs battling it out in the final.

On Monday night [20 April], David Haye and Gemma Collins were voted off the camp. Last week, comedian Seann Walsh was the first celeb to leave the South Africa series.

During this year's All Stars series, fans have seen former boxer David Haye face criticism for his language while in camp. Last week, he described his girlfriend Sian as "lovely," but went on to say she "has the personality of a proper ugly bird."

He said: "Most ugly girls realise they've gotta have a personality and the banter to tell jokes and s**t, so people overlook the fact that they're not aesthetically amazing straight away. It's called ugly duckling syndrome, where girls are ugly when they start off, then they get pretty as they get older, but they've still got the personality of when they were ugly."

I'm A Celebrity carries on tonight on ITV and ITVX at 9pm.
