I’m A Celebrity fans have been left raging after Josie Gibson was given the boot right before the final. The Bristolian TV presenter, who won herself extra fans in the jungle thanks to her glorious West Country accent, narrowly missed out on being in the final three as it was announced she had become the 7th celebrity to be voted out of camp. Josie, 38, was told by Ant and Dec in last night’s show that she had placed fourth, with the former Brimsham Green School pupil waved off by finalists Nigel Farage, Sam Thompson and Tony Bellew as she crossed the bridge. When asked by the hilarious hosts who she’d like to see be crowned Jungle King, Josie spoke highly of Made in Chelsea star Sam and professional boxer Tony, but failed to mention Nigel. “Sam has just got a magic about him, he’s been entertaining from the moment he wakes up to the moment he goes to sleep,” the This Morning star said. “He’s lifted me when I’ve been at my lowest and he’s just so charming.” Read more: Strictly Come Dancing’s Annabel Croft makes awkward blunder as she ‘skids’ across floor Read more: Carol Vorderman shares hospital photograph as she issues health update Josie continued: “But Tony again, he’s just so chivalrous. He’s just a proper gentleman and a proper family man; I love the way he talks about his family.” When asked again who she would like to win the series, Josie replied: “Out of them two – Sam or Tony.” Meanwhile, some viewers were furious that Josie had not made it to the final. On X, formerly Twitter, Lils said: “This country is a joke. How is Nigel still in there, never let the public vote.” Suzie wrote: “I cannot believe for one minute, I am in complete disbelief that Josie was chosen over Farage. I give up. Won’t be watching this farce ever again after this year.” “WHYYY!!! How has Josie gone before Tony?” Adam questioned. “I want Nigel to win now because I don’t like Sam or Tony.” Siobhan said: “This is ridiculous!! Nigel Farage is in the final?! Throwing ALL my votes behind Sam now because I think he’s the only one who has the support to topple Nigel.” Meanwhile, others have said it is “right” that Tony, Sam and Nigel are in the final. “That’s probably the right top 3 tbf,” Shauna wrote. “Right result,” Elaine posted. “The other 3 are all winners in their own ways.” Last night’s show also saw the contestants face Celebrity Cyclone, where they were tasked with collecting stars while dressed as superheroes. The campmates were hit with water jets and giant balls and Josie was one of the celebrities who struggled to make her way across the assault course and was, at one point, knocked to the floor.
