Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp has become the sixth contestant to be voted off I\u2019m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.<\/p>\n
The True singer lasted 20 days in the camp after skydiving his way into the reality show.<\/p>\n
Speaking about his time on the series, the Be Free With Your Love singer said the highlights were “without a doubt” his campmates.<\/p>\n
The Gold singer said: “Just sitting around, not even the trials and stuff like that, but sitting around, talking and lots of laughs.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m not one for making new friends, and this is the first time I\u2019ve done it for years, and I absolutely loved it.<\/p>\n
“Coming out now, I feel like I\u2019ve done it. I feel like I\u2019ve done everything I wanted to do, experienced it, and I can walk away with some brilliant anecdotes.<\/p>\n
“I think I learned a lot about myself as well, about how patient I am, in a way, and also how emotional I am. Every turn, I felt like crying a lot of the time and it\u2019s quite nice sometimes.<\/p>\n
Kemp also said he hopes EastEnders actress Shona McGarty will be crowned this year\u2019s Queen of the Jungle and win the series.<\/p>\n
He said: “I think Shona came out of a shell like you can\u2019t imagine. She was absolutely so shy when she first went in, she started singing, and she became the most beautiful songbird ever.”<\/p>\n
Kemp\u2019s time in the jungle follows in the footsteps of his son, presenter Roman Kemp, who was a contestant on the show in 2019 and came in third place.<\/p>\n
Thursday night\u2019s episode also saw social media star Ginge, real name Morgan Burtwistle, describe himself as a “Swiftie”, as the campmates discussed the US pop superstar.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old said: “I am a Swiftie. Unbelievable she is, her music\u2019s incredible, she\u2019s incredible.”<\/p>\n
He added: “She\u2019s also an aesthetically pleasing lady, she\u2019s very beautiful.”<\/p>\n
During the discussion, Kemp asked the social media star: “Would you snog her?”<\/p>\n
He replied: “I think I\u2019d be an idiot if I turned her down to be honest!”<\/p>\n
Following the departure of comic Ruby Wax during Wednesday night\u2019s episode, the celebrities were told that, as their leader has left, there will be no camp chiefs moving forward.<\/p>\n
Due to the changes to camp, Emmerdale star Lisa Riley, who was the deputy leader, had to step down from her role.<\/p>\n
Speaking about Wax\u2019s exit, Ginge said the whole group was “gobsmacked” at her departure.<\/p>\n
He said: “Ruby, to me, was the winner of this thing.<\/p>\n
“Absolutely gutted. She was amazing.”<\/p>\n
“I already miss her,” he added.<\/p>\n
The news was softened when the campmates learned there would be no more leaders.<\/p>\n
Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson said: “Democracy at last”.<\/p>\n
The celebrities then had to decide amongst themselves which campmates should carry out each chore.<\/p>\n
In the Bushtucker trial, Kemp and Read Wilson hit the bookshelves in Lethal Libraries.<\/p>\n
The duo had to find seven books in a library full of snakes and insects to win stars for camp.<\/p>\n
During the task, Read Wilson hunted for a copy of The Jungle Book, which was hidden on a bookshelf full of snakes, while Kemp watched on from a librarian\u2019s desk covered in insects.<\/p>\n
As the 39-year-old searched for the book among the reptiles, he said: “I\u2019m sorry, I know you\u2019re just being bookworms.”<\/p>\n
He moved the snakes as he hunted for the classic novel, and told them: “I\u2019m sorry to disturb you.”<\/p>\n
Watching on, Kemp joked with his campmate: “Be careful of the snakes in there.”<\/p>\n
The 64-year-old then joined in with presenters Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, and sang The Bare Necessities from The Jungle Book.<\/p>\n
McPartlin said the Celebs Go Dating star was “a little bit leisurely” during the task, as the pair revealed they only won five out of a possible seven stars.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out Of Here! returns on Friday night, where two contestants will be voted off the show.<\/p>\n
The episode will air at 9pm on Virgin Media.<\/p>\n
