Harry Redknapp makes his eviction decision an I’m A Celebrity first – as he gets the contestant’s name WRONG.
After returning from the eating trial Beastly Braai the former football manager is made to evict one of his Team Lion. But we can reveal that it doesn’t go completely smoothly and viewers tonight will see in a moment of panic Harry says the wrong name.
A source says: “Harry has had a long day with the trial and has a lot on his mind. The team know who he means but he actually says the wrong name when evicting one of his team. It doesn’t effect the decision but it certainly adds to the drama of the moment because it is so unusual.”
As regular viewers will know, Ant and Dec normally read out the name of the evictee, and as pro hosts have never got the name wrong.
It means the eviction tonight will be unique in I’m A Celebrity history.
The eviction comes after Harry went head to head with Jimmy Bullard in the eating trial where they ate boar’s penis, lamb brain, intestines and worms.
But with Jimmy winning the tie-breaker it meant his Team Rhino got a banquet and to go on safari, whilst Harry was told by Ant and Dec he had to get rid of one of his team.
Dec told him: “As king of losing camp, it is time for someone to leave and you will choose who that will be.”
The name of the evictee will be revealed at the start of tonight’s show which airs on ITV and ITVX from 9pm.
Team Lion consists of Harry Redknapp, boxer David Haye, TV star Scarlett Moffatt, comedian Seann Walsh and Pussycat Doll and radio DJ Ashley Roberts.
Prior to the eating challenge and this eviction, this week’s episodes have been dominated by David Haye. First he made comments about his girlfriend and women in general which many people found sexist.
And then he claimed he was going to steal a bag of food when it arrived.
The show will have evictions thick and fast in the coming days, ahead of a final on Friday April 24 where viewers will be able to vote for their winner who will be crowned a jungle ‘Legend’.
