Comedian Tommy Cannon was the first celebrity to be booted out of the jungle last night.
The funnyman looked stunned as 'I'm a Celebrity. Get Me Out of Here' presenters Ant and Dec told him he had been voted off by TV viewers after just four days.
As he waved goodbye to the remaining ten contestants, the other half of his comedy duo, Bobby Ball, cried.
'80s duo Cannon and Ball had been expected to do well in the ITV game show after only joining the jungle camp last Thursday.
Cannon said: "I've come to the other side of the world and bang it has gone.
"I wanted to stay till the end. I booked this in mind as an adventure and I test my mettle and see it right the way through."
When asked if he thought his partner Ball would cope without him after their tearful farewell, he replied: "We've spent 41 years together and it's like anything else when I'm on my own. It's like my arms gone.
He will look to me for help to get through something but he will get through it."
The remaining contestants said he was a "splendid addition" to the team and would be sorely missed.
