I’m A Celebrity semi-final leaves fans ‘gutted’ after devastating vote-off


I’m A Celebrity now has its final three – but who went home on Saturday night? (Picture: ITV)
Saturday night proved to be a decisive one as the penultimate episode of I’m A Celebrity 2024 went out with an almighty bang.

With Sunday’s grand final fast approaching, Oti Mabuse, Reverend Richard Coles, Coleen Rooney, and Danny Jones were all fighting for their lives.

Danny in particular had a tough 24 hours, having to complete a secret mission with the Wagatha Christie master herself, Coleen, in camp!

In an episode that also saw the celebs battle the elements in the iconic Celebrity Cyclone Challenge, it was a shock exit that stole the show.

Oti Mabuse was revealed by presenters Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly as the fourth placed contestant in this year’s competition.

It means she misses out on a chance to be crowned Queen of the Jungle, and her fans expressed their devastation as Oti left camp for the last time.

On X, @ReturnoftheOlly said, ‘Oti has been robbed. No two ways about it. Gutted!’ While @ItsAmyXO commented: ‘Ahhh gutted for Oti, it should have been Rev or Danny. i also kinda have a feeling she would have gone yesterday if she didn’t have immunity.’

Giving further support to Oti was @Courtdegnan who said: ‘Oti was such an underdog, I was expecting her to be quiet, boring and one of the first to leave but she was so much better then I expected. Gutted for her, but all 4 of them are worthy winners.’

However, before the votes had even been announced, some viewers were eager to see Danny, Coleen, and Reverend Richard as the final three.

Posting on X, @Toriftolsen said: ‘I love Oti, but she really didn’t do many trials tbh. I’m fully convinced if she didn’t win the immunity ticket, she would have gone out before Maura and GK Barry / Grace!’

And @SoraThesk made a cracking prediction midway through tonight’s show: ‘There’s no way Oti makes it to top three today.’

In a bittersweet interview, Oti reflected on her time in Australia, saying: ‘I’m happy… I expected to be nervous the whole time, but when you’re in there, my goal was just to focus and get the job done. It was so important that we got to eat.’

She continued: ‘I enjoyed everything. The conversations, getting to know these people, getting personal, getting to open up. You come out as a stronger, different person.

‘We cried a lot. It never stopped. I didn’t know I was a crier but now I know. I will never get to do this experience again. It was to unique. From the moment I jumped out that helicopter – I’ve been so grateful.’

Speaking about what it’s like to wake up in the jungle, she said: ‘It’s so magical here. The trees, the frogs. You appreciate it. Everything you know [at home] is taken away from you, but you learn to love it.’

It all means that it will be Reverend Richard, Coleen, and Danny will be battling for the crown on Sunday night, with the Queen or King of the Jungle set to finally be crowned after 22 days.

When asked by Dec, Oti’s choice was for Danny to become King of the Jungle, but it’s up to the UK public to crown their winner!

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! concludes tomorrow at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
