After kicking off earlier this month, the ITV series is in full swing, with the show’s first star eliminated on Friday night’s (29 November) episode.
Loose Women panelist Jane Moore and BBC Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough found themselves in the bottom two, having received the least number of votes from viewers.
Ultimately, it was Moore who was eliminated with many fans celebrating her departure while also decrying the fact it wasn’t McCollough instead.
“Should have been Dean,” said one person. “However, while he’s utterly pathetic, Jane was boring and moaning so hard to know which is worse.”
Another wrote: “Can’t believe that Dean is still in there! He has to go next.”
The sentiment was echoed by many others on X/Twitter, with plenty of people writing the same two words: “Dean, next.”
“Glad Jane went, Dean next,” said one person.
“Dean next, but I’m so glad Jane has gone on I’m a Celebrity,” said another. “Dean, now!”
“Jane gone, hopefully Dean next,” said someone else, with one fan writing: “Wrong person left first. Should have been Dean and then Jane.”
One person who was celebrating Moore’s exit, added: “Anyway Dean out next!”
Reacting to the news of her elimination, Moore said: “Hard work does not get rewarded. Let’s put it that way.”
She reiterated the message in her first post-eviction interview, stating to the camera: “So I say to the British public, stand up for the hard workers.”
On who she’d like to see crowned King or Queen of the Jungle, Moore said: “I would like to see the quiet hard workers win, there’s a lot of showmen in there. I want Coleen [Rooney] or Melvin [Odoom] to win, they’re not flamboyant.”
Many viewers have taken Moore’s remarks to be a dig at some of her fellow campmates, particuarly McCollough who caused upset in the camp after dodging his chores.
Moore, however, was not unanimously liked by viewers with many disagreeing with the journalist about one moment in camp in which she accused former boxer Barry McGuigan of ageism and misogyny after being tasked with the chore of washing up at camp.
At the time, she had complained: “It seems much like the 1950s!” She later insisted that she was just “winding him up”.
Moore followed in the footsteps of fellow Loose Women panellists Janet Street-Porter, Frankie Bridge and Charlene White in going on the show.
I’m a Celebrity continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV.
