I’m A Celebrity elimination results: Josie Gibson narrowly misses out on a place in the final as fans vent fury after Nigel Farage survives public vote
Josie Gibson became the seventh campmate to be eliminated from the Australian jungle in Saturday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
The This Morning host, 38, narrowly missed out on a place in the much-anticipated final as she was sent packing just one day before the winner will be crowned.
Josie’s exit leaves Sam Thompson, Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage as the three finalists as they will battle it out for the King of the Jungle title on Sunday night.
However, fans were left fuming upon her exit as they shared their disappointment that she didn’t make the final – after she was the last woman standing in the camp.
Many viewers also shared their annoyance that controversial politician Nigel, 59, had not been voted out instead of Josie as they said she deserved to make it through.

But many viewers shared their annoyance that controversial politician Nigel, 59, had not been voted out instead of Josie as they said she deserved to make it through
Taking to X – formerly known as Twitter – one wrote: ‘How is Josie out and Nigel still in,’ another said: ‘How the f**k is Nigel still in and Josie just left???’
A third tweeted: ‘Noooo!!!!!!! Not Josie. WHY IS NIGEL STILL IN THERE???!!!!’ and another penned: ‘Trying to figure out how Nigel beat Josie.’
A fifth gushed: ‘Aw, Josie has just been the best! I really wanted her to win right from the start, and I’m so happy she got so far. She’s been such good fun!’
And one sweetly added: ‘She was the last woman standing so she’s still the Queen of the jungle, we love you Josie.’
Despite fans’ upset over her exit, she appeared thrilled to be going home after three weeks in the jungle as she stood up and cheered when her name was announced.
Josie has had an up-and-down journey in the jungle and has spoken openly about her difficulties, including breaking down in tears over missing her son Reggie, five.
After her elimination, she spoke to Ant and Dec about her time in the jungle and reflected on her famous kitchen rows with Fred Sirieix.
Josie and the maître d’hôtel and professional chef previously clashed as Fred hit out at her cooking skills while struggling to let go of his former camp chef role.

However, fans were left fuming upon her exit as they shared their disappointment that she didn’t make the final – and vented their anger over politician Nigel beating her
However, Josie insisted that ‘everyone preferred’ her food as she told how they settled the tension with a final battle in the kitchen.
‘It was the battle of the chefs wasn’t it? When someone criticises what you do along the way, it puts a lot of pressure, everyone’s starving… I think I put him straight in the end,’ she said of their rows.
Upon her elimination, Josie then walked across the iconic bridge, where she was greeted by her best friend Mia Williams.
Her son Reggie did not appear on the bridge to meet her, but is nearby in Australia after Mia brought him to Australia to reunite with his mother upon her exit.
Josie shares Reggie, with her ex-boyfriend Terry Bond. The pair started dating in 2017 but split in 2018 when Reggie was five months old.
After her exit, Josie became the seventh star to back Sam for the crown as he seems to have won over viewers and campmates alike with his bubbly and enthusiastic personality.
When asked who she wants to win, she said: ‘Sam has just got a magic about him, he’s entertaining from the moment he wakes up until he goes to sleep,’ before adding that she would also be happy to see Tony win.

Prior to Josie’s elimination, the final four celebrities had taken on the famous Celebrity Cyclone trial as it returned for another year
All of the eliminated celebrities so far have backed Sam to win the 2023 series, and bookies have named both Sam and Tony as favourites to be crowned King of the Jungle.
Frankie Dettori was the first campmate to be eliminated in the public vote and admitted he thinks Sam will take home the top prize this year.
He said: ‘My bet would be Sam. He brings a lot to the table, he’s entertaining, he is silly, he sings, he is happy and I think what people is going to like about him is all of that. That … to me is the winner.’
Nella Rose was the next star to be voted out of the jungle, and she too said: ‘I think Sam should be King of the Jungle, he has wanted to do this since he was a kid.’
Fred Sirieix left camp on Tuesday after the third public vote and once again bet on Sam to make it all the way in this year’s series.
Danielle Harold then said: ‘Sam, please vote for Sam… he’s such a trooper, he’s such a great guy,’ while Marvin added that he wanted to see either Sam or Tony win.
Prior to Josie’s elimination, the final four celebrities had taken on the famous Celebrity Cyclone trial as it returned for another year.
The four remaining campmates were drenched with water and pelted with huge rubber balls as they attempted to climb up the slippery slope of the assault course and collect yellow stars to go towards a final feast together.
The foursome struggled so much to complete the task at one point that Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly thought the stars may not complete the challenge.
Josie’s exit came one day after she narrowly avoided leaving the camp on Friday as she came in the bottom two alongside Marvin Humes.
On Friday, JLS star Marvin was eliminated and reflected on his ‘bromance’ and close friendship with Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson while speaking to Ant and Dec.
The pair have repeatedly kept the camp entertained with duets and movie-style performances, and Marvin confirmed he has invited Sam to sing with JLS.

Marvin and Sam have repeatedly treated their fellow campmates to duets during their two weeks in camp, with Sam proving himself to be a JLS super fan
He vowed: ‘We said to Sam as well, he’s got to come and perform with me and the lads at some point next year.’
Commenting on his own tunes during his stint in the jungle, Marvin quipped: ‘I didn’t stop singing did I? I never sing that much, not even in JLS!’
When asked who he wants to be crowned the 2023 winner, Marvin named both Sam and actor Tony as he showed his support for his pals.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues Sunday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
